Is Donald Trump's position shaky? His poll results are getting worse…
Six months before the midterm elections in the United States, U.S. President Donald Trump and the Republican Party are facing a notably unfavorable political climate, according to a new poll.
According to a survey conducted by The Washington Post, ABC News, and the polling institute Ipsos, Donald Trump’s approval rating has slightly declined from 39% to 37% compared to February, while 62% of respondents expressed disapproval of his policies. This represents not only a two-point increase in disapproval since February, but also the highest level of disapproval recorded for him in this series of polls.
Trump performs particularly poorly in a key policy area: 66% of respondents disapprove of his handling of the Iran crisis, while only 33% approve.
His economic policy also receives low ratings overall, with just 34% approval. He fares even worse on specific issues such as fighting inflation (27% approval) and the overall cost of living (only 23% approval). By contrast, his strongest issue remains immigration at the Mexican border, but even there he faces 54% disapproval versus 45% approval.
Beyond policy results, the survey also highlights significant doubts about his personal qualities. About seven in ten respondents say the president is not honest or trustworthy.
Two-thirds believe he does not carefully consider important decisions, and around six in ten think he lacks the mental sharpness needed for the presidency. Moreover, 55% believe his physical health is not sufficient to effectively perform his duties, while 54% consider him not a strong leader.
The upcoming midterm election picture also shows a clearer trend: according to the poll, Democrats now lead Republicans by five percentage points among registered voters, up two points since February.
The advantage is even larger among those who say they will definitely vote, reaching nine percentage points. The data also indicates stronger mobilization among Democratic supporters, with 79% saying they are absolutely certain they will vote.
Among Republicans, the picture is more divided: while self-identified “MAGA Republicans” show similarly high turnout certainty at 77%, only 59% of more moderate Republicans say they are certain they will vote in the midterm elections.
