Fresh Trump Approval Poll Shows What the U.S. Truly Believes
Public trust in President Donald Trump has become increasingly fragile. A recent CNN/SSRS poll from late October shows his approval rating at 37%, a significant drop from earlier this year. Disapproval now stands at 63%, indicating a broad erosion of support.
National sentiment reflects this decline. Nearly 70% of Americans believe the country is faring poorly. Dominant concerns include inflation and a growing sense that daily life has become more difficult. The cost of living is cited as the most pressing problem by almost half of respondents.
Other major worries include threats to democracy. Notably, only a small minority now views immigration, once a central theme for Trump, as the top issue.
Confidence in Trump’s leadership is faltering on key fronts. A majority believes his policies have harmed the economy and weakened America’s global standing. Furthermore, six in ten Americans feel he has exceeded the proper bounds of executive power.
The political implications are significant. With midterms nearing, far more voters intend to cast ballots to oppose Trump than to support him. This points to an energized opposition and a contracting base of active defenders.
Trump has dismissed these polls as false, arguing media distorts his true support. However, even some allies sense a widening discontent driven less by scandal and more by general fatigue.
Whether this represents a temporary dip or a lasting shift hinges on future events. The economy’s path and the administration’s tone will be critical. Currently, the data reveals a nation uneasy with its direction and a presidency facing substantial pressure to demonstrate its effectiveness.
