Recent polling averages place President Trump’s job approval in the mid-to-high 30s, with individual surveys from mid-October showing figures such as 36% (Fox News) and 35–38% (AP-NORC, YouGov). Declines have been driven by voter dissatisfaction with inflation, the economy, and tariffs, alongside lower support for handling of foreign policy including the Iran conflict. Net approval has reached new lows near –22 to –28 in several trackers, reflecting erosion even among some Republican and independent respondents ahead of the November midterms. With only days until the October 23 measurement window, short-term stability appears likely absent a major economic release, diplomatic development, or other high-impact event capable of shifting sentiment.
