President Trump's Approval Rating Reaches Career Low of 32% Amid Public Dissatisfaction
President Trump's approval rating has fallen to 32%, marking the lowest point of his political career, according to a new Reuters/Ipsos poll released on September 21, 2026. This figure represents a 3 percentage point drop from the previous Reuters/Ipsos poll. The previous low for President Trump was 33%, recorded in December 2017 and again for three consecutive weeks in August. The poll, conducted over four days and completed on September 20, surveyed 1,277 U.S. adults with a margin of error of 3 percentage points. Dissatisfaction with the cost of living and the ongoing war in Iran were identified as key factors contributing to this decline, with only 17% of respondents approving of President Trump's handling of the cost of living. His approval rating among Republicans also saw a decrease, falling to 73% from 82% the previous week.
