Overview
- The Reuters/Ipsos six‑day poll completed on Monday, Oct. 5 found 32% of Americans approve of President Trump’s job performance, matching the lowest reading in that series.
- Only 24% of Hispanic respondents approved of the president and Hispanic registered‑voter intentions favored Democrats 52% to 26%, a 26‑point Democratic advantage that reverses large 2024 gains for Trump.
- State tracking from Civiqs shows Trump with positive net approval in just 11 states and disapproval exceeding approval in 39 states, leaving him underwater across most of the country.
- Voters say the cost of living is the top issue shaping their midterm choices, and 86% of respondents called it inappropriate to use taxpayer money for election‑style TV ads featuring the president or Cabinet members.
- The Reuters/Ipsos survey sampled 4,506 U.S. adults (±2 percentage points), and its findings line up with major polling averages that place Trump below 40% approval and with disapproval near or above 60%.
