U.S. President Donald Trump’s approval rating has stayed near the lowest level of his political career, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll completed on Monday, as concerns over rising prices continue to weigh on his Republican Party after last week’s midterm elections.
About 32 per cent of Americans approved of Trump’s performance in the White House, unchanged from the two previous Reuters/Ipsos polls conducted between late October and early November.
That was one percentage point higher than the 31 per cent recorded in a Reuters/Ipsos poll in mid-October, the lowest rating of his political career.
Trump returned to the White House in January 2025 on promises to tame inflation and end foreign wars. In a Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted in the hours after he was sworn in, he had an approval rating of 47 per cent.
His support has also weakened within his own party. In September, as Republicans soured on his handling of the cost of living amid the unpopular war with Iran, a Reuters/Ipsos poll showed 73 per cent of Republicans approved of his job performance, down from 82 per cent a week earlier.
Trump’s Republican Party suffered a heavy defeat in the 3 November midterm elections, losing control of both chambers of the U.S. Congress. With some races still undecided, Democrats recorded their biggest gains in the House.
The fallout has already reached his cabinet. On Monday, Republican Congressman Thomas Massie introduced a measure to impeach Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio defended Hegseth, saying he had done “a great job”, while Hegseth said he was ready to defend his record at the Pentagon.
The losses have also been noticed abroad. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said she hoped the Republicans’ defeat would change Washington’s approach to the war in Ukraine.
