Fresh Trump Approval Poll Shows What the U.S. Truly Believes
President Donald Trump’s public approval is currently in a vulnerable state. A late October CNN/SSRS poll shows his approval rating at 37%, a significant decline from earlier this year, with 63% now disapproving of his performance.
This sentiment reflects a broader national mood, with nearly 70% of Americans believing the country is faring poorly. Primary concerns center on inflation, rising costs, and a perceived decline in daily living standards. The cost of living is identified as the most pressing issue by almost half of respondents.
Confidence in Trump’s leadership shows signs of deeper erosion. Sixty-one percent believe his policies have harmed the economy, and 56% feel his foreign policy has weakened America’s global standing. Furthermore, six in ten Americans view him as exceeding the limits of executive power.
These attitudes carry direct political consequences. With midterm elections nearing, only 21% of voters plan to support him, while 41% intend to vote specifically to oppose him, indicating a highly motivated opposition.
Trump has dismissed these polls as false, arguing that media distortion obscures his genuine support. However, even some allies recognize that the current discontent, driven more by fatigue than scandal, feels widespread.
Whether this decline is temporary or permanent hinges on future developments. The economy’s path, the tone of his political messaging, and the public’s desire for stability will be decisive factors.
Currently, the data depicts a nation uneasy with its trajectory and a presidency facing considerable pressure to demonstrate its continued effectiveness.
