Story summary

As of November 10, 2026, US President Donald Trump's approval rating remained near its lowest point at 32%, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted from November 6 to 9. This figure is unchanged from previous polls and only one percentage point above his career-low rating of 31%, recorded in mid-October. The survey, which polled 1,705 US adults with a margin of error of approximately two percentage points, indicates that the cost of living and economic issues are particularly weighing on Trump's approval ratings. Additionally, Democrats made significant gains in the November 3 midterm elections, flipping Senate seats in traditionally conservative states such as Kansas, South Carolina, and Texas.
