Trump’s approval ratings in 2026 have remained underwater amid widespread voter concerns over the economy, cost of living, and inflation, with recent national polls showing figures clustered between 33% and 40% approve. Persistent dissatisfaction with tariffs, including new measures on Canadian goods, and the ongoing conflict with Iran—linked to higher gas prices—have driven recent lows in multiple surveys. Republican support has softened on economic handling and the Iran situation, while the approach of November’s midterm elections adds pressure on GOP candidates tied to the president’s standing. Any rebound would likely require measurable improvement in economic sentiment or de-escalation signals on foreign policy before year-end.
