Summary
Fox News found Trump at 39% approval and 61% disapproval, tying his second-term low as his push to make the midterms a referendum on himself gains little traction.
63% of voters said his administration has made the economy worse, with 64% saying tariffs hurt the U.S. economy and majorities citing gas, groceries, housing and healthcare as serious cost pressures.
The poll points to why that message is failing: the Iran war has lifted oil prices, tariffs have raised consumer costs, and inflation has climbed enough for the Federal Reserve to raise a key rate.
Anti-establishment voters are also drifting away, with "double haters" favoring the Democratic candidate in their district by 26 points, adding to broader signs that independents are leaning Democratic ahead of nearly 500 races.
