Trump's Approval Rating Dips To Lowest Of Second Term Amid Concerns Over Economy, Immigration: Reuters/Ipsos Poll

(MENAFN- Live Mint) US President Donald Trump's approval rating has dipped to 40%, marking the lowest point of his second term, according to a new Reuters/Ipsos poll. The one-point drop from 41% in mid-July reflects persistent public concern over his handling of the economy and immigration-two key pillars of his presidency.

The poll, conducted over three days and concluding on Monday, surveyed 1,023 American adults and revealed a deeply divided electorate. While 83% of Republicans support Trump's performance , just 3% of Democrats approve. Among independents, approval stood at roughly one-third, underscoring a polarised political environment heading into the final stretch of the term.

Mixed reviews on key issues

Despite the overall decline, Trump received a modest boost in approval for his economic management, with 38% expressing support-up from 35% in the previous poll. On immigration, approval also saw a slight uptick to 43%, up from 41%.

Poll details

The Reuters/Ipsos survey had a margin of error of 3 percentage points. The findings suggest that while some of Trump's core policy areas are seeing marginal improvements in public perception, they have not translated into a broader gain in overall approval.

Trump has campaigned on promises to strengthen the US economy and enforce stricter immigration controls.
