Trump Job Approval Slips to 40% in Reuters/Ipsos Poll

Overview

• Disapproval rose to 57%, up from 52% in May, as overall approval has hovered within one to two points of its current level since mid-May.
• On prices that affect families, roughly twice as many respondents disapprove as approve, with 63% now rating his performance on costs negatively.
• Seventy-three percent want health-insurance subsidies to continue, underscoring broad public backing for the policy at the center of the congressional funding standoff.
• Many report only modest concern about the partial federal shutdown, with 29% saying they do not care or are satisfied, 20% irritated, and about 50% frustrated, and most citing little personal impact.
• The survey reflects an economy where inflation has quickened since January, the labor market has weakened, and the Federal Reserve has cut interest rates.
