Approval near career low
President Donald Trump’s approval rating held at 32% in a Reuters/Ipsos poll completed on Monday, Nov 9, keeping him near the lowest level of his political career. The poll found that 32% of Americans approved of Trump’s performance as president, unchanged from two prior Reuters/Ipsos polls conducted between late October and early November.
The Reuters/Ipsos poll put Trump’s approval at 31% in mid-October, one percentage point below the current 32% reading. The poll surveyed 1,705 US adults online nationwide from November 6 to 9, with a margin of error of about 2 percentage points.
Cost of living drags
The war launched by the president on Iran in February raised fuel prices sharply and weighed on household finances. The poll showed that only 21% of Americans approved of Trump’s handling of the cost of living, a figure Reuters linked to national concerns over rising prices.
The poll also found that Trump’s approval rating on immigration policy stood at 38%, higher than his ratings on economic issues. Among Republican respondents, the poll showed 81% backed Trump’s approach to immigration, while 50% approved of his handling of the cost of living.
Midterms and staffing
Trump’s Republican Party suffered a staggering defeat in the November 3 midterm elections, losing control of both chambers of the US Congress. Democrats scored their biggest victory in the House of Representatives since at least 2008 and flipped Senate seats in traditionally conservative states including Kansas, South Carolina and Texas.
Trump has aggressively ramped up deportations of immigrants since he returned to the White House in January 2025. Trump promoted Stephen Miller, a key architect of his immigration policies, to the position of White House chief of staff last week.
