President Donald Trump’s approval rating has held at 32 percent, near the lowest level of his political career, according to a new Reuters/Ipsos poll completed on Monday. The rating was unchanged from two earlier Reuters/Ipsos polls conducted between late October and early November, and stood just one point above the 31 percent recorded in mid-October, the lowest of his career.
The poll, conducted online across the United States from 6 to 9 November, gathered responses from 1,705 adults and had a margin of error of about two percentage points. It found deep public concern about rising prices, which the report said had damaged Mr Trump’s Republican Party in last week’s midterm elections.

On 3 November, Republicans lost control of both chambers of Congress in the midterm elections. Democrats scored their biggest victory in the House of Representatives since at least 2008 and flipped Senate seats in traditionally conservative states, including Kansas, South Carolina and Texas, although some races were still undecided when the poll was published.
The poll showed just 21 percent of Americans approving of Mr Trump’s handling of the cost of living. His rating on economic stewardship stood at 25 percent, considerably lower than the 38 percent who approved of his immigration policy. The war he launched on Iran in February has raised fuel prices sharply and weighed on household finances, according to the report, and his low rating on living costs has also hurt his allies in Congress.
Among Republicans, 81 percent supported Mr Trump’s approach to immigration, compared with 50 percent who backed him on the cost of living. Since returning to the White House in January 2025, Mr Trump has sharply increased deportations of immigrants, and last week he promoted Stephen Miller, a key architect of those policies, to White House chief of staff.
The findings underline how far the cost of living has come to dominate voters’ judgment of the president. Immigration, long his strongest issue, still draws far more support than his handling of the economy, but the gap has not been enough to lift his overall standing, which has now been flat across three consecutive national polls.
