History

Historical Context

President Richard Nixon's resignation in 1974 amid the Watergate scandal significantly eroded public trust in government, leading to his successor Gerald Ford's low approval rating of 37%. This historical trend of declining approval ratings during economic turmoil is echoed today, as President Donald Trump's approval rating has dropped to 36% due to rising gas prices and dissatisfaction with foreign policy, particularly regarding Iran.
