President Trump's approval rating has declined steadily in 2026, reaching second-term lows of 37-40% in major polling averages as of mid-May, down from early-year peaks around 44%. Surging gas prices above $4.50 per gallon, triggered by the ongoing Iran war escalation since March, alongside dissatisfaction with inflation and economic handling, have driven recent drops, with early May polls hitting 34-36% in Reuters/Ipsos and others. Even Republican strong approval has softened amid these pressures. Traders monitor potential rebounds from Iran diplomatic breakthroughs, favorable economic data, or policy successes, against midterm election dynamics in November 2026 that historically challenge incumbents.
