Trump approval rating mired at record low: Poll

President Trump maintained his record low approval rating in a new survey released Monday, as Republicans push to ramp up support for their party’s candidates with around four weeks until the midterms.

The Reuters/Ipsos poll found the president’s approval held steady at the 32 percent rating from the polling center’s survey last month.

Trump’s waning support has cast a dark shadow over the GOP’s prospects this November, as he continues to urge voters to pretend he is “ on the ballot ” in this election.

During Republicans’ midterm convention in Dallas last month, the president promised every American adult $5,000 dividend checks if the party keeps control of both chambers of Congress next year.

Among registered voters surveyed, 44 percent said they preferred Democrats over the 37 percent who backed Republicans. Independent voters also favored Democratic candidates, with 37 percent choosing the part compared to 21 percent who supported the GOP, according to the poll.

Additionally, the data shows Republicans lost ground among Hispanic voters from the last time the pollster surveyed respondents on this question. This voting bloc was key to Trump’s victory in the 2024 presidential election, but his support from this demographic has taken a hit amid his administration’s mass deportation operations.

Only 24 percent of Hispanic voters in the new survey said they approved of the president’s job performance. Additionally, 26 percent of these voters said they would support their GOP candidate in the midterm elections.

Another 52 percent of respondents said they would back a Democrat — up from the 46 percent who supported Democrats in an August poll.

A separate poll from NBC News and Telemundo showed a similar change within this voting demographic, with 59 percent preferring Democrats to win in November compared to 35 percent who favored Republicans.

The Reuters/Ipsos survey was conducted among 4,506 U.S. adults from Sept. 30 to Oct. 5. It has a margin of error of approximately 2 percentage points.
