Secret Service Approval Plummets After Trump Assassination Attempts

Public confidence in the Secret Service has hit a decade-low following two attempts on former President Trump's life, sparking widespread criticism and calls for reform.

A Gallup poll reveals that only 32% of Americans rate the Secret Service's performance as good or excellent, down from 55% last year.
The first assassination attempt occurred on July 13 in Butler, Pa., where a gunman managed to fire eight shots, injuring Trump and killing a rally attendee.
The second incident took place on September 15 at Trump International Golf Club in Florida, where an agent fired at a suspected assassin.
Internal reviews and investigations have highlighted multiple operational and communication failures within the agency leading up to the attempts.
Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe has urged Congress for increased funding and resources to address the agency's current challenges.
