On the eve of the US Midterm Elections, President Donald Trump's public approval rating has hovered near a record low, standing at just 32% in a new Reuters/Ipsos survey released on Monday, November 2, 2026. The poll highlights widespread public discontent with the administration, with 46% of registered voters favoring Democratic candidates compared to 38% supporting Republicans.
The sharp decline in popularity follows months of economic strain driven by rising inflation and a sudden surge in petrol and diesel prices, triggered by the ongoing US-Israel and Iran conflict that began on February 28. Although President Trump's name is not on the ballot, he has spent the past month on an intensive campaign blitz, urging his supporters to vote as if his presidency depended on it. Trump warned that if Republicans lose control of Congress, a Democratic-led House could initiate a third impeachment inquiry against him.
