President Trump's approval rating on government shutdown handling falls to new low

President Trump's net approval rating for handling the government shutdown has reached a new low of -27. The latest poll shows 31% approval and 58% disapproval, marking the lowest approval and highest disapproval since tracking began last month. This comes as the shutdown becomes the longest in U.S. history, impacting millions. Public disapproval also extends to congressional Democrats and Republicans, with net approval ratings of -25 and -27 respectively. The ongoing shutdown and negative public perception could affect the Republican Party's standing in the 2026 midterm elections.
