Summary
Reuters/Ipsos put Donald Trump’s approval at 33% in mid-August, the lowest level cited in the report as voter frustration builds ahead of the midterms.
Economic gauges stayed stubborn: unemployment held at 4.1% for a second month, inflation remained 3.4% for a second month, and regular gasoline averaged $4.192 a gallon in August.
Household relief was limited elsewhere, with 100% ground beef averaging $6.77 a pound—down from nearly $7 in April but still elevated for consumers.
The report contrasts that strain with market resilience, saying the Dow Jones kept posting gains even as Trump continued touting possible checks and other promised payouts.
