A Reuters/Ipsos poll indicates that 24% of Americans approve of President Donald Trump's handling of the cost of living, a slight increase from 22% the previous week and 20% a month prior. The poll, which closed on Monday, captured responses both before and after Trump announced a peace agreement with Iran that had previously driven up gasoline prices. Overall approval for Trump rose to 36% as public dissatisfaction with the cost of living lessened. The poll surveyed 1,537 U.S. adults nationwide and has a margin of error of 3 percentage points.
