Trump Approval Holds at 32% as Cost-of-Living Rating Sinks to 21%
3 articles · Updated · Reuters · Nov 9
Summary
32% of Americans approve of Donald Trump's job performance in a Nov. 6-9 Reuters/Ipsos poll, unchanged from two recent surveys and just above his 31% career low in mid-October.
21% approve of Trump's handling of the cost of living, the poll's weakest issue reading, after fuel prices rose following his February strikes on Iran and squeezed household finances.
25% back Trump's economic stewardship, while 38% approve of his immigration policy — still his strongest major issue area despite broader dissatisfaction.
Last week's midterm losses sharpened the political damage: Republicans lost control of both chambers of Congress, with Democrats posting their biggest House win since at least 2008 and flipping Senate seats in Kansas, South Carolina and Texas.
