Donald Trump’s approval rating has fallen to 32 percent, marking the lowest level of his political career according to a recent poll by Reuters and Ipsos.
Economic Pressures Drive Voter Discontent
Only 17 percent of respondents surveyed by Reuters and Ipsos approved of how Donald Trump is handling the rising cost of living. Voters consistently rank household finances as their primary concern heading into the November 3 elections, where Republican majorities in both chambers of Congress hang in the balance.
When Donald Trump returned to the White House in January, he campaigned heavily on promises to tame inflation and end foreign wars. That initial momentum has faded significantly. Just hours after his inauguration, a Reuters/Ipsos poll showed his approval standing at 47 percent. The drop to 32 percent places his current popularity below the lowest marks ever recorded for his Democratic predecessor, Joe Biden, whose presidency also wrestled with severe inflation pressures.
Cracks Within Republican Support
Discontent is no longer limited to political opponents. The Reuters and Ipsos poll indicates that Trump’s job approval among registered Republicans dropped to 73 percent, down from 82 percent just one week prior. Overall presidential approval sat at 35 percent the previous week before sliding another three points.
Foreign policy decisions are compounding these domestic frustrations. According to the survey data, a mere 24 percent of Americans approve of Trump’s handling of the ongoing conflict with Iran.
Immigration Policy Divides Electorate and Party
Immigration remains one area where Donald Trump retains firm backing from his base, with 79 percent of Republicans supporting his approach. However, broader national sentiment tells a different story. Overall, only 36 percent of Americans back his immigration policies, while 55 percent disapprove.
Did you know? Republican congressional lawmakers have publicly warned that aggressive deportation campaigns targeting undocumented immigrants risk alienating key conservative demographics, particularly Hispanic voters whose own family members arrived in the United States recently.
