Trump’s Approval Hits New Lows as Fresh Polls Flag Midterm Risk

Polls point to the Iran war plus high gas prices as the main drag on the president.

Overview

  • Marist’s new survey released Wednesday shows 37% approval and 59% disapproval, Trump’s worst net result in its series, with rising Republican discontent on Iran and the economy since March.
  • Rasmussen’s daily tracker now registers a record-low approval index of -23, reflecting 25% who strongly approve versus 48% who strongly disapprove among likely voters.
  • Polling aggregates converge on a weakened picture, with CNN’s Poll of Polls at 35% approval and 64% disapproval and multiple national surveys from Pew and Reuters/Ipsos at 34% approval.
  • A fresh Forbes/HarrisX poll finds majorities unhappy with Trump’s handling of inflation, the broader economy, and tariffs, and only 37% support for his Iran policy as gas prices climb.
  • Marist also reports a Democratic lead of 10 points on the generic congressional ballot and high voter enthusiasm, while the White House dismisses the slump by calling the 2024 election the ultimate poll.
