Cost of living drives disapproval

Just 17 percent of Americans approve of how Trump handles the cost of living. This issue is considered the top factor for voters in the upcoming November 3 midterm elections. Seventy-three percent of Republicans approved of his job performance, a drop from 82 percent recorded a week earlier.

Poll covers four days

The survey closed on Sunday and measured public sentiment during the first six weeks of his second term. Trump returned to the White House in January 2025 with promises to tame inflation and end foreign wars. His approval stood at 35 percent in a poll conducted shortly after he was sworn in.
