Trump’s approval rating holds at 32%, near lowest of his career
The war on Iran launched by the US president has driven up fuel prices and strained household finances, fuelling public discontent over the cost of living.
President Donald Trump's approval rating in the United States remains low, hovering around 32%, according to a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll. This figure places Trump near the lowest point of his political career, reflecting widespread concern over the rising cost of living that impacted his party in the recent midterm elections. The poll results, published on Monday, indicate that 21% of Americans approve of Trump's handling of the cost of living, while 38% approve of his immigration policy.
The midterm elections on November 3 saw a significant victory for Democrats, who gained control of both chambers of the US Congress. Despite losing power, Trump's approval rating for his economic management remained at 25%, a lower figure compared to his support for immigration policies. The poll, which surveyed 1,705 US adults between November 6 and 9, has a margin of error of approximately 2 percentage points.
Trump's strategy of increasing deportations has gained support among Republicans, with 81% backing his approach on immigration. However, this aggressive stance on immigration has been contrasted with a 25% approval rating for his economic policies. The war launched by Trump against Iran in February has also contributed to the high cost of living, further eroding public confidence in his leadership.
