President Donald Trump's approval rating on gasoline has hit "rock bottom," according to a new poll from Navigator Research released on Wednesday.
Democrats have continued to hammer Trump for the war, and they’ve seized on the high gas prices it’s caused to elevate what was already their core campaign focus: affordability. Polling from the Democratic firm Navigator Research released Wednesday found that 65 percent of voters do not agree with how Trump is handling gas prices, which have jumped to over $4 per gallon on average; while 71 percent believed the war in Iran led to the increased prices.

The poll, conducted by Global Strategy Group and commissioned by left-of-center messaging and polling firm Navigator Research, shows 68 percent of voters in the Northeast’s 76 battleground districts oppose reductions to federal funding for Medicaid and SNAP.
At first, President Donald Trump stuck to a largely positive message. But his big speech took a turn about an hour in.
