A new survey has revealed that only 26% of Americans view President Donald Trump as a "balanced" individual, raising alarm bells amid ongoing geopolitical tensions and the war against Iran.
The Reuters/Ipsos poll, which was conducted over six days and concluded on April 20, indicates that with the backdrop of the military aggression against Iran and the contentious exchanges with the Pope, Trump’s approval rating remains at a historic low, as many citizens express doubts about his temperament and conduct.
The survey also showed that only 36% of Americans endorse Trump's presidential performance, a figure that has remained unchanged from the previous month.
The poll indicated a growing concern among the American populace, including a notable fraction of Trump's own Republican base, who have begun to openly question his emotional stability following a series of inflammatory statements and erratic behavior.
