Trump’s job approval has hovered near 38 percent in recent polling averages as of November 6, 2026, after dipping to second-term lows around 36 percent in late October. Persistent economic discontent—particularly elevated gasoline prices and inflation tied to the U.S.-Israel strikes on Iran earlier in the year—has weighed on ratings, with confidence in the president’s handling of the economy and foreign policy declining across multiple surveys. Erosion of support among some 2024 voters, including younger and Hispanic cohorts, has compounded the pressure ahead of and immediately after the November 3 midterms. Recent tracking shows a modest one-point rebound in the days leading into November 6, though strong disapproval remains near 49 percent. Scheduled events such as any post-midterm legislative moves or further economic data releases could influence short-term polling within the resolution window.
