Trump's approval hits record low of 32% before midterms as Iran war and inflation bite

spiegel.de (German)

US President Donald Trump's approval rating has fallen to a record low of 32 percent ahead of the November midterm elections, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll. This marks the lowest point of his political career. The decline, down from 35 percent last week, is driven by rising fuel and food costs and the unpopular war against Iran. Republican support for Trump also dropped from 82 to 73 percent in one week. Trump returned to office in January 2025 promising to curb inflation and end foreign wars. The conflict with Iran has blocked the Strait of Hormuz, spiking global oil prices. Democrats currently lead by eight points in congressional voting intentions.
