Trump Claims 59% Approval Rating Amidst Conflicting Polls and Rising Oil Prices

Washington DC. US President Donald Trump has claimed his popularity (approval rating) has reached 59 percent by posting on social media Truth Social.

Along with this, he has claimed that the prices of consumer goods in the market are decreasing and the cost of oil and gas is also coming down.

Trump wrote in his short post, '59 percent approval rating. Prices are coming down, with oil and gas prices decreasing.' He has not disclosed the source from which this 59 percent figure was taken.

However, recent surveys conducted by organizations including HarrisX and Quantas Insights this month have shown results different from Trump's claim. According to those surveys, only about 43 percent of Americans liked Trump's performance, while 54 to 55 percent expressed dissatisfaction with his work.

On the other hand, the price of crude oil in the global market is rising rapidly due to renewed tension in the Gulf region. Recently, the price of Brent crude has increased by about 3.3 percent to around $78.50 per barrel.
