Only 17% approved of his handling of the cost of living, and 51% of Republicans disapproved for the first time, the Reuters/Ipsos poll found.

  • President Donald Trump's approval rating fell to 32% in a new Reuters Ipsos poll released in Sept, marking the lowest point of his political career and down from 47% when first sworn in.
  • Growing dissatisfaction among Republicans stems from Trump's handling of the cost of living and the unpopular Iran war launched in February, which has driven fuel prices sharply higher.
  • Only 17% of respondents approve of Trump's management of living costs, while 51% of Republicans now disapprove compared to 44% who support it.
  • Registered voters favor Democrats over Republicans 43% to 35% in the upcoming midterm elections, as Republicans defend narrow congressional majorities that could be jeopardized by Trump's declining support.
  • Despite broad disapproval of his Iran policy where only 24% of Americans support his approach, Trump maintains strong backing from 79% of Republicans on immigration.
