Polls Show Trump Approval at 35 to 39 Percent

Recent polling shows President Donald Trump facing weak national approval, with support ranging from 35% to 39% and disapproval from 60% to 61% in the YouGov and Fox News surveys. Inflation, prices and the broader cost of living remain voters’ leading concerns, while Trump receives particularly low marks for handling the economy and inflation. His support has also declined among very conservative Americans, falling from 84% in July to 76% in September, though political scientists cautioned that the subgroup’s size makes the shift difficult to interpret and the Republican National Committee disputed claims of a broader conservative backlash. The polls also show widespread opposition to military action against Iran, with about 60% calling it the wrong decision and roughly seven in 10 saying the administration lacks a clear strategy to end the conflict. Voters generally view the war as making the United States less safe, while demographic groups—including women, Black voters and adults ages 30 to 44—register especially negative views of Trump.
