Trump Approval Falls to Record 32% After Midterm Losses as Inflation and Iran Drag

Summary
A Nov. 9-11 Economist/YouGov poll put Donald Trump’s approval at 32% and disapproval at 63%, a four-point weekly drop that pushed his net rating to a record low of -31.
The slide reflects broad voter frustration after Republican midterm losses, with inflation and the Iran conflict driving the sharpest erosion among independents.
Reuters/Ipsos, CNN/SSRS and Pew have also recently placed Trump between 30% and 32% approval, while major averages still show him stuck in the high 30s and deeply underwater.
Trump began his second term near 49% approval in January 2025, but the latest readings leave him entering his final two years with weakened political capital and a Democratic-controlled Congress ahead.
