  "account": "President Donald Trump's approval rating has reached a record low, according to a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll. The six-day survey found that 32% of Americans approved of Trump's presidency, a figure that has remained unchanged since a September Reuters/Ipsos survey. This low approval rating has been particularly apparent among Hispanic voters, who have become increasingly dissatisfied with Trump's job performance and are planning to vote against his Republican Party in the upcoming midterm elections.\n\nDespite Trump's success in winning nearly half of the Hispanic vote in the 2024 presidential election, which was an improvement from the roughly one-third of the Hispanic vote he received in the 2020 election, support for the president has steadily declined over the past few months. This decline has been attributed to the economic challenges faced by Americans, largely due to Trump's decision to engage in military conflict with Iran, which has led to high inflation.\n\nThe poll revealed that only 24% of Hispanic Americans approve of Trump's performance in the White House, the lowest approval rate of his two presidential terms. Furthermore, the survey indicated that just 26% of Hispanic registered voters intend to cast their ballots for Republicans in the November 3 elections, which will determine control of both chambers of Congress during the final two years of Trump's current term. This level of support for Republicans is significantly lower than the 52% of Hispanic voters who plan to support Democrats, marking the largest Democratic advantage since Trump assumed office.",
  "summary": "WASHINGTON, Oct 5 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump's approval rating held at a record low in recent days, as many Hispanic voters panned his job performance and planned to spurn his Republican Party in next month's midterm elections, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll completed on Monday.",
