President Donald Trump’s job approval fell to a career low of 32% in a Reuters/Ipsos poll published 21 September, as high living costs continued to weigh on public assessments of his performance.
Overall and partisan numbers
Approval slipped from 35% in the previous Reuters/Ipsos reading to 32%. Among Republicans, approval dropped to 73% from 82%. The poll surveyed 1,277 adults; the margin of error was about 3 percentage points.
Cost of living
Only 17% of respondents approved of Trump’s handling of the cost of living — the weakest of the issue areas highlighted in the Reuters report — underscoring household pressure from prices even as other political debates continue.
Midterm ballot
On a generic congressional ballot, Democrats led Republicans 43% to 35%. The poll does not forecast election outcomes; it records a snapshot of national sentiment weeks before November voting.
