Donald Trump's approval rating as of today; Trump approval rating now
The Quinnipiac poll found 58% disapprove of Trump, a sign Democrats hope will help them win House and Senate control.
- President Donald Trump's approval rating fell to 32 percent in Quinnipiac University polling, marking a modern historical low for this point in a presidency. A separate Economist/YouGov survey released Aug. 11 found 33 percent of Americans approve of his job performance.
- Rising costs topping $4 per gallon and persistent inflation have eroded Trump's economic standing, shattering his "Teflon Don" reputation. Voters now connect his policy decisions directly to increased bills for groceries, electricity, and health care.
- Beyond the approval slump, 60 percent of Americans perceive Trump as "not honest and trustworthy," while 61 percent believe he uses presidential powers for personal gain. Additionally, 53 percent view the 80-year-old president as too old for office.
- Declining poll numbers have bolstered Democratic hopes for November's midterms, though Republicans remain favored to hold the Senate with a 54 percent chance. Midterms historically serve as a referendum on the sitting president's performance.
- Republican strategists fear the party has lost its traditional economic advantage under Trump, with experts noting time is running out to reverse the trend. Democrats must now offer a clear, unified alternative to capitalize on voter frustration.
