Donald Trump faces record low approval ratings ahead of U.S. midterms

Donald Trump is facing declining approval ratings across several key demographics as the U.S. midterm elections approach. According to a Reuters/Ipsos poll, his overall approval rating stands at 32%, a record low for his presidency.

His support among Hispanic voters has seen a significant decline, with only 24% approving of his performance in the White House. This is a notable shift from the 2024 election, where he made substantial gains with this constituency. Many Latino voters expressed dissatisfaction with his management of the cost of living (78% disapproval) and the economy (74% disapproval). Additionally, 59% of registered Latino voters prefer Democratic control of Congress over Republican control.

Economic concerns, specifically inflation, and the ongoing conflict with Iran are cited as major factors weighing on the Republican Party. While 83% of Latino voters support the deportation of undocumented immigrants who have committed serious crimes, two-thirds believe current migration control measures have gone too far. The upcoming midterms are viewed as a critical referendum on Trump's second term, with the potential to shift control of the House of Representatives and the Senate.
