President Donald Trump's approval rating on inflation has reached a record low, according to a recent poll by Strength In Numbers in collaboration with Verasight.

Only 25% of Americans approve of his handling of inflation, while 72% disapprove, with 57% expressing strong disapproval. This decline in approval comes as Americans face rising costs for essentials like food and gasoline, exacerbated by ongoing tensions in the Middle East. The poll also highlights that inflation has emerged as the top concern for voters, with a majority identifying rising prices as the most pressing issue facing the country. Trump's overall approval rating has remained negative throughout 2026, with a net approval of -23 in May.
