Trump approval ratings plummet to new low, polls show
Key Points:
- Donald Trump’s approval rating has hit a record low of 32%, according to a new Reuters/Ipsos poll, with notable declines among independent voters and Latinos who previously supported him in 2024.
- The drop in support poses a significant challenge for the Republican Party ahead of the midterm elections that will determine control of Congress.
- Despite the polls, Trump dismissed concerns about his approval ratings, blaming the media and asserting he is "doing great."
- A NBC News/Telemundo poll found that 59% of Latino voters now prefer a Democratic-controlled Congress, while only 24% approve of Trump's performance.
- Growing dissatisfaction with the economy, foreign policy, and other issues under Trump’s administration is causing some Republicans to distance themselves from the president as they campaign for local support.
