Trump Approval Hits Record Low of 31% Ahead of Midterm Elections
President Donald Trump's approval rating drops to a record 31% as voters express concerns over gas prices ahead of the upcoming November 3 congressional vote.
POLICY WIRE — Washington, USA — President Donald Trump has reached a new nadir in public support, with his approval rating sliding to a record low of 31% as the November 3 congressional elections approach.
Data from a four-day Reuters/Ipsos poll, which concluded on Monday, indicates that voter anxiety regarding elevated gasoline prices is fueling a potential backlash against the Republican Party.
The current 31% approval figure represents a one-percentage-point decline from the previous survey conducted two weeks ago, marking the lowest point recorded during either of the president’s terms.
Separate polling data from the Associated Press and NORC at the University of Chicago corroborates the downward trend as the midterms loom. Additionally, internal party support has softened, with approval among Republicans dropping to 73%, down from 82% just one week prior.
