President Donald Trump's approval rating has reached 32 percent, according to recent polls, marking an all-time low driven largely by public discontent with his economic stewardship.
His economic approval rating now sits three points lower than the worst marks recorded for former President Joe Biden during his administration. The decline reflects voter concerns over inflation and the ongoing conflict with Iran, which has driven up fuel costs and shaken consumer confidence.
Inflation cooled to 3.4 percent in July from June figures, but remains higher than when Trump took office. The Iran conflict has contributed to rising energy prices and broader economic disruption.
Republicans are seeing their support slip ahead of the midterms. Democrats now hold a five percentage-point advantage over the GOP in midterm matchups, according to the same survey. Trump's current approval rating mirrors where Biden stood at a similar point in his term.
The figures point to a warning for Republicans with the midterm elections weeks away, driven by declining support within the GOP base and negative views on economic conditions.
