Overview

• Pew Research Center’s August survey reports Trump’s job approval at 38 percent, mirroring low readings from Gallup (37 percent) and Reuters/Ipsos (40 percent).
• Support among his own 2024 backers has fallen from 88 percent in June to 85 percent in August, while nonvoter approval has also declined.
• Voters rate Trump’s handling of inflation and the cost of living as his weakest performance area, with just 37 percent approval in a recent poll.
• Gallup’s historical analysis finds July approval ratings at the lowest level recorded for any modern president in that month.
• Trump’s ongoing summit in Alaska with Vladimir Putin—held without Ukrainian representation—could further influence public perceptions of his leadership.
