Overview
- Reuters/Ipsos surveyed 1,017 U.S. adults online Nov. 14–17 and found overall approval at 38% with a margin of error of about ±3 points.
- Only 26% approve of the president’s handling of the cost of living, while 65% disapprove, reflecting continued frustration over everyday prices.
- Just 20% approve of his handling of the Jeffrey Epstein matter, and about 70% believe the government is withholding information about Epstein’s clients.
- The House voted 437–1 to require the Justice Department to release Epstein-related records after the president, reversing prior opposition, urged Republicans to back disclosure and said there was nothing to hide.
- Approval has fallen nine points since January and has slipped among Republicans, heightening concerns about GOP prospects in next year’s congressional elections.
