What happened, for context
Multiple polls conducted in summer 2026 show U.S. President Donald Trump's approval ratings declining ahead of November midterm elections. The Financial Times/Focaldata poll reports his overall approval at 33% of registered voters, a record low. Gender-specific polling by ActiVote and Bellwether Research indicates particularly sharp declines among women voters, driven largely by concerns about the economy, cost of living, and trade policies.
