Trump approval ratings hit new lows amid economic concerns
President Donald Trump is facing record-low approval ratings across multiple recent polls, with dissatisfaction driven largely by economic concerns and the cost of living. A CNN/SSRS poll placed his approval at 33%, while a Reuters/Ipsos survey reported it at 32%. Other polling data shows his approval dipping as low as 29% in an American Research Group survey. Economic issues are a primary driver of this decline; only 17% of respondents in one poll approve of his handling of the cost of living, and approval for his handling of the economy has dropped significantly compared to 2018.
In the context of the upcoming midterm elections, Democrats currently hold a notable advantage in congressional race polling, with some surveys showing a 12-point lead.
Separately, Vice President JD Vance announced that an anti-fraud task force has removed 750,000 individuals from Affordable Care Act (ACA) coverage due to alleged fraud. Vance stated that this crackdown is intended to ensure subsidies are only provided to entitled recipients and is estimated to save the government $2.2 billion. Critics and health experts noted that the process involved canceling plans for individuals who failed to respond to contact attempts from insurance companies within a 30-day window.
