Trump’s job approval rating has stabilized in the mid-to-high 30s percent in late October 2026 polling aggregates, following record lows near 32-33 percent earlier in the month. Recent surveys from sources including Reuters/Ipsos, Silver Bulletin, and RealClearPolitics show approval between 36 and 38 percent, with disapproval near 60 percent and strong disapproval exceeding 49 percent. Key drivers include persistent voter concerns over inflation, economic conditions, and the ongoing Iran conflict, which have weighed on independent and Republican support outside the core base. A modest rebound of 1-2 points in several trackers has coincided with final pre-midterm messaging, though net approval remains deeply negative around minus 22. The November 3 midterm elections represent the immediate political backdrop, with congressional ballot trends and turnout dynamics likely to shape perceptions of the president’s standing.
