Story summary

As of October 5, 2026, President Donald Trump's approval rating hit a record low at 32%, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll. Among Hispanic voters, who supported him in the 2024 election, only 24% now approve of his performance, marking a significant decline from previous terms and midterm elections approaching on November 3. This dip could be detrimental for the Republican Party as it competes to maintain control over both chambers of Congress during Trump's final two years in office. Despite these numbers, Trump remains defiant, dismissing criticism by blaming media outlets like CNN.
