President Trump's Approval Rating Declines Amid Inflation Concerns, Democrats Lead in Polls
A recent Strength In Numbers/Verasight poll conducted in May 2026 reveals that President Trump's approval rating remains low, with only 37% of U.S. adults approving of his job performance and 60% disapproving. This net rating of -23 is consistent with previous months and marks the second-worst reading recorded by the poll. The poll highlights a significant decline in President Trump's approval regarding his handling of prices and inflation, which has reached a new record low of -47. This issue is identified as the most pressing concern for Americans, with 39% naming prices and inflation as the country's top problem. Additionally, the poll shows Democrats leading Republicans by an 8-point margin among registered voters in the generic congressional ballot, continuing a trend observed since May 2025.
