New polling from multiple outlets reports that President Donald Trump’s approval rating is low, with overall approval around 35 percent. The Reuters/Ipsos survey cited by one outlet finds that 35 percent of Americans approve of his job performance, down slightly from an earlier measurement. Other coverage referencing a separate poll similarly shows fewer than four in 10 Americans approving of Trump’s performance and describes the result as a second-term low. Several sources link the decline to voter concerns about the cost of living and the economy, as well as the administration’s handling of the conflict involving Iran.
One report citing an Associated Press–NORC Center for Public Affairs Research survey says Republican approval is split, with about 60 percent of Republicans approving of Trump’s handling of the economy, while other findings in the same coverage describe broader dissatisfaction among voters. Collectively, the reporting emphasizes that the issue mix—economic pressures and the Iran war—appears to be affecting both public sentiment and party support heading into the 2026 midterm election environment. None of the sources indicate changes to policy outcomes, focusing instead on shifts in survey support.
