Trump Approval Ratings Decline Amid Economic Concerns Ahead of MidtermsPreviousNext

Recent polls show US President Donald Trump's approval rating has declined to career lows, with figures ranging from 32% to 41%. Voters increasingly view his policies as harmful to the economy, especially amid rising inflation, high gasoline prices, and cost of living concerns. Republican support is waning ahead of the November midterm elections, with dissatisfaction growing even among party members. These trends reflect economic challenges and voter unease influencing perceptions of Trump's presidency and congressional preferences.
