About this episode
US President Donald Trump's approval rating fell to 33 percent, the lowest level of his presidency, amid public concerns over the US war against Iran, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll that concluded Monday.
根据8月17日结束的路透社/益普索民意调查，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的支持率跌至33%，为其总统任期内的最低水平，主要原因是公众对美国对伊朗战争的担忧。
Just 33 percent of respondents in the four-day survey said they approved of Trump's performance in the White House, while 64 percent disapproved, the poll showed.
民调显示，在这项为期四天的调查中，仅有33%的受访者表示认可特朗普在白宫的表现，而64%的受访者表示不认可。

民调指出，特朗普的支持率较本月早些时候一项民调的35%有所下降，也低于他当前任期内任何时期的水平，“目前已追平他在上一任期内于2017年12月创下的最低点”。

Trump has sought to ease public concerns over high gas prices in recent remarks. At a political rally in Garden City, New York on Friday, Trump said that paying "a tiny little bit more for your gasoline" is worth the cost of ensuring "a very evil country" cannot have a nuclear weapon.
