President Donald Trump's approval rating has dropped to a career-low 32% as voters express dissatisfaction with his handling of the cost of living and the ongoing war in Iran.

President Donald Trump’s approval rating has fallen to 32%, the lowest point of his political career, according to a new Reuters/Ipsos poll. The survey, which concluded on September 20, highlights growing dissatisfaction among voters regarding his management of the cost of living and the war in Iran, which began in February.

Declining Support Among Republicans

The poll shows that 73% of Republicans now approve of Trump's job performance, a decline from the 82% approval rating recorded in a Reuters/Ipsos poll one week earlier, when his overall approval stood at 35%. For the first time, the number of Republicans who disapprove of his handling of the cost of living—51%—outnumbers the 44% who approve.

Economic Concerns and Midterm Elections

Only 17% of all respondents approve of the President's handling of the cost of living, which Americans identify as the primary issue for the November 3 midterm elections. Trump, who returned to the White House in January 2025 with pledges to curb inflation and conclude foreign wars, previously held a 47% approval rating shortly after his inauguration.
