Trump approval rises from record low to 32% ahead of midterm election, Reuters Ipsos poll finds

The poll found Republicans trailing on the generic congressional ballot, while 73% of voters said living costs are heading in the wrong direction.

  • A Reuters/Ipsos poll completed Monday shows President Donald Trump's approval rating at 32%, while registered voters favor Democrats over Republicans 47% to 36% on a "generic ballot" ahead of the November 3 elections.
  • Following military strikes on Iran in February, inflation has surged, with 73% of voters reporting their cost of living is heading in the wrong direction.
  • Democratic voters show stronger enthusiasm, with 46% expressing high interest in the midterms versus 30% of Republicans; likely voters favor Democrats 53% to 44%.
  • Republicans are fighting to retain majorities in the House and Senate, as losing control of either chamber could complicate Trump's legislative agenda in his final two years.
  • While national surveys suggest Democratic momentum, district-by-district contests do not reflect these trends; Republicans hold structural advantages in specific races that will determine congressional control.
