President Donald Trump’s second-term approval ratings have declined steadily since early 2026, reaching new lows near 34-40 percent in recent national surveys amid widespread public dissatisfaction with U.S. military involvement in the Iran conflict and its effects on domestic prices. Polling from Pew, Reuters/Ipsos, and the Washington Post-ABC News shows particular erosion on foreign policy, the economy, and inflation, with even some Republican respondents expressing reservations about rising costs. Six months before the November 2026 midterms, these trends coincide with shifting generic ballot preferences and heightened voter motivation on both sides. Any resolution of the Iran situation, legislative progress on economic measures, or changes in consumer prices could alter the trajectory, while sustained challenges in those areas would likely limit upward movement in job-approval figures through the remainder of the year.
