Three-quarters of Americans think Trump isn’t focusing on top US issues – poll

The poll also showed that Trump's overall approval rating has slumped to 34%, with many Americans disapproving of his handling of the war in Iran and his immigration policies. Additionally, the majority of Americans feel that Trump is out of touch with the problems they face in their everyday lives and lacks the stamina to serve effectively as president.
