Unexpected and sharp turns are being observed in the political life of the United States. Reports that the approval rating of the country's current leader, Donald Trump, has reached its lowest point are at the center of attention for global media. Zamin.uz analyzes the results of polls conducted by influential publications and the mood of the American electorate.
Historic decline: 62 percent of the public dissatisfied
The results of a new social survey conducted jointly by The Washington Post, ABC News, and IPSOS have been quite unfavorable for the Donald Trump administration. According to the data, the president's overall approval rating has fallen to a record low of 37 percent. A full 62 percent of Americans have expressed opposition to the policies being pursued by the White House — this is the highest negative indicator during Trump's two presidential terms.
This comprehensive survey was conducted between April 24 and April 28 of this year among 2,560 American adults. Experts estimate the margin of error to be around +/- 2 percent.
Economy and Iran: What are the reasons for the lack of confidence?
It is reported that two major factors are primarily responsible for the public's dissatisfaction:
Fuel crisis: As reported by The Washington Post, the sharp and continuous rise in gasoline prices has led to voter disappointment with economic policy. Only 34 percent of respondents approve of Trump's economic reforms.
Foreign policy: Trump's firm and controversial stance toward Iran is also not favored by many. 66 percent of Americans criticize actions in this direction.
Midterm elections: Republicans at risk
Although support for Trump remains high (85%) among loyal Republicans, confidence among independent voters leaning toward the party has decreased significantly, falling to a minimum of 56 percent.
This situation poses a serious risk for the Republican Party ahead of the midterm elections scheduled for November 3, 2026. On that day:
All 435 members of the House of Representatives;
33 members of the Senate will be re-elected.
Currently, Democrats hold a 5 percent lead among registered voters. If the situation continues in this manner, the balance of power in Congress could change fundamentally.
Dear readers, in your opinion, how will this political instability in the US affect the global economy? Will Trump be able to restore his rating?
