Trump's Approval Rating Declines Amid Cost of Living Concerns
Imagine people are rating how well their leader, Donald Trump, is doing his job.
A recent poll showed fewer people are happy with his work, and more people are unhappy.
This is happening because many Americans are worried about how much things cost, like food and gas.
The poll also asked about a government shutdown, and most people said they weren't too bothered by it, or that it didn't affect them much.
Many people also think health insurance help should continue, even if it costs more money for the government.
Donald Trump's presidential approval rating has fallen, reaching a low point for his term.
40% of Americans approve of Trump's job performance, while 57% disapprove.
A significant majority of Americans are dissatisfied with Trump's handling of the cost of living and inflation.
Public reaction to the ongoing government shutdown remains muted, with most respondents reporting little impact.
A large majority of Americans support continuing health insurance subsidies, despite concerns about the federal budget deficit.
