Overview
- The Oct. 24–27 YouGov/The Economist survey of 1,623 adults shows 39% approval and 58% disapproval (net -19), the weakest reading of Trump’s second term, with a margin of error around 3.4 points.
- Separate national polls from Reuters/Ipsos (~40% approval), Quinnipiac and Gallup cluster near the 40% mark, corroborating a broad decline despite small week-to-week shifts.
- Trump’s handling of inflation and prices is his worst-rated issue, with net approval around -31 to -34 in the tracker.
- Support among voters under 30 has collapsed to about 20% approval and 75% disapproval, a swing of roughly 63 net points since February.
- Polling also shows high frustration with the prolonged government shutdown and rising approval for the nationwide “No Kings” protests, developments analysts caution could shape the 2026 midterms.
