Trump Approval Rating Drops to Record Low of 32% Amid Economic Concerns

Credited from: ALJAZEERA

Trump's approval rating has fallen to 32%, the lowest of his career.
Only 17% of respondents approve of his handling of the cost of living.
A significant drop among Republicans, from 82% to 73% approval within a week.
51% of Republicans now disapprove of Trump’s economic management.
The poll highlights concerns leading into the November midterm elections.

US President Donald Trump's approval rating has decreased to 32%, marking the lowest point in his political career. This decline coincides with growing dissatisfaction among his fellow Republicans regarding his management of living costs, exacerbated by the ongoing Iran war, according to Reuters, Al Jazeera, and South China Morning Post.

The four-day poll indicated that just 17% of those surveyed approved of Trump's handling of the cost of living, which remains the top issue for voters ahead of the November 3 midterm elections. Trump initially enjoyed a 47% approval rating shortly after his return to the White House in January 2025, when he pledged to address inflation and foreign conflicts, reports Reuters and South China Morning Post.

Especially concerning for Trump is the shift in his Republican base’s sentiments; approval has dropped from 82% to 73% within just a week. Astonishingly, for the first time, those Republicans disapproving of his cost of living management outnumber those who support him, standing at 51% to 44%, as detailed by Al Jazeera, Reuters, and South China Morning Post.
