Trump's approval rating falls to new lows ahead of midterm elections

What happened

Multiple national polls show President Trump's approval rating dropping to record lows for his second term, with figures ranging from 30% to 39% depending on the survey. Polling also shows Democrats leading Republicans in generic congressional ballot tests by margins of 8 to 11 points. The surveys indicate declining support among key groups including young voters, Hispanic voters, and some Republicans who voted for Trump in 2024.

Side by side

Left53 versions

Left-leaning outlets emphasize the scale of Trump's collapse, using phrases like "record low," "brutal polling blow," and "revolt from the very same voters who helped him retake the White House." They highlight that "nearly one in three supporters have turned against him" and frame the situation as "doom for Trump" and potential Democratic gains.

Center75 versions

Center outlets focus on specific demographic shifts and electoral implications, noting Trump is "underwater in 39 states" and detailing approval changes among groups like "non-MAGA Republicans," "male voters," and "millennials." They prominently cite specific polling numbers and frame the story around "midterm reckoning" and "turnout concerns" for Republicans.

Right21 versions

Right-leaning outlets acknowledge the polling decline but frame it more neutrally, with Fox News reporting "cost-of-living concerns weigh on GOP" and Trump's "approval on inflation hitting a new low of 22%." They note "voters trusted Democrats over Republicans" on key issues and report that Trump "privately blames HIMSELF" in what one outlet calls "a rare admission."
