Overview

  • Reuters/Ipsos places Trump’s job approval at 41%, down a point from early September, with only 35% approving of his handling of the economy and 28% on cost of living.
  • Gallup reports 29% satisfaction with the country’s direction, the lowest of Trump’s second term, driven by Republicans falling from 76% satisfied in August to 68% in September.
  • Issue polling compiled by Nate Silver shows Trump underwater on core topics since early September, including the economy (-14), trade (-19), inflation (-30) and immigration (-3 to -4).
  • Additional national surveys show softening support: YouGov/Economist pegs approval at 39% with 57% disapproving, and Echelon Insights records 45% approve to 53% disapprove (net -8).
  • Pollsters link the slide to worries about prices and growth, citing August CPI at 2.9% year over year, a 4.3% unemployment rate, and tariff effects on prices; Reuters notes a questionnaire change removing a “not sure” option.
