Trump Approval Sinks to 38% as House Overwhelmingly Orders Release of Epstein Files

A new Reuters/Ipsos survey points to frustration over prices as the main driver of the slide.

Overview

  • The latest Reuters/Ipsos poll pegs approval at 38%, down two points from early November and the lowest of Trump’s second term.
  • Only 26% approve of his handling of the cost of living, while about 65% disapprove, reflecting persistent pressure over everyday prices.
  • Just 20% approve of his handling of the Epstein matter, and roughly 70% say the government is concealing information about Epstein’s clients.
  • The House voted 437-1 to require the Justice Department to release Epstein records after Trump reversed months of opposition and urged disclosure.
  • The online survey of 1,017 adults was conducted Nov. 14–17 with a margin of error of about ±3 points, and analysts say the slump could widen GOP risks in next year’s congressional races.
