32 per cent of Americans approved of Trump’s performance as president, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted online across the US from November 6 to 9. The figure was unchanged from two previous Reuters/Ipsos polls conducted between late October and early November, and one percentage point above his career-low rating of 31 per cent recorded in mid-October. Trump’s Republicans suffered losses in both chambers of Congress in the November 3 midterm elections. However, Trump’s approval rating on immigration policy stood at 38 per cent, considerably higher than his ratings on economic issues.
The war launched by the US President against Iran in February has sharply increased fuel prices and added pressure on household finances, according to the report. US President Donald Trump’s approval rating remained close to the lowest level of his political career, with growing concerns over the cost of living weighing on his standing after the Republican Party’s losses in last week’s midterm elections.
