Trump approval falls to record 32% ahead of US midterms

· Politics · United States

New polling shows US President Donald Trump's approval rating at a record-low 32%, with support eroding among Hispanic voters and 2024 backers. A Reuters/Ipsos survey put his approval at 32%; just 24% of Hispanic Americans approve of his performance, the lowest of either of his terms, and Hispanic voters are about twice as likely to favour Democrats in November. Trump downplayed the numbers, saying he was "doing great" as he travelled to Nebraska to campaign for Republicans. The findings land about a month before midterm elections and amid an unpopular war with Iran that is reshaping the political landscape.

Why it matters：Trump's sinking approval and Hispanic defections could cost Republicans control of Congress in November, reshaping US policy on trade, war and the economy.
