Donald Trump faces low approval ratings ahead of U.S. midterm elections

With the U.S. midterm elections scheduled for November 3, President Donald Trump faces significant political pressure as his approval ratings hit new lows in his second term. Various polling data indicate a decline in popularity; for instance, Silver Bulletin reports a net approval rating of -20%, with 38% approval and 58% disapproval. Other metrics, such as RealClearPolitics averages, show similar dissatisfaction levels.

There is a notable shift among white voters, a key segment of Trump's base. A Marquette Law School poll conducted in late July found that 51% of white respondents approve of his presidency, a recovery from a June poll that showed a -12 net approval.

Economic factors, particularly inflation and rising living costs, are cited as major drivers of voter concern. Additionally, the ongoing conflict with Iran has impacted his standing, with recent military escalations contributing to unpopularity and rising fuel prices. The midterm results will determine whether Trump governs with a cooperative Congress or faces opposition capable of conducting investigations and blocking legislation.
