Trump’s job approval has hovered in the low-to-mid 30s in late October 2026 polling, pressured by sustained public dissatisfaction with the ongoing conflict in Iran and its effects on gasoline prices and household costs. Recent surveys from Reuters/Ipsos, the New York Times/Siena, and CNN/SSRS show net approval near or below historic lows for a president ahead of midterms, with broad disapproval of economic management and inflation. No major new events have shifted the trajectory in the final days before October 30, though modest daily fluctuations remain possible from breaking developments. Traders assessing short-term thresholds therefore weigh the stability of these structural headwinds against any last-minute diplomatic or economic signals.
