Trump’s approval rating has fallen to historic lows in October 2026, with recent polls showing figures between 30% and 37% and net ratings near -22 to -27. Persistent voter concerns over inflation, the cost of living, and weak job growth have eroded support, including among some Republicans and independents. The ongoing U.S. conflict with Iran, which began earlier in the year, has driven higher gasoline prices and contributed to negative views of the president’s economic and foreign policy handling. With midterm elections just weeks away on November 3, these dynamics create ongoing pressure that could determine whether ratings reach new lows before year-end or stabilize after the vote.
