The Reuters/Ipsos poll found trump approval at 32%, a Reuters exclusive released Sept. 21 showing the lowest approval reading in the tracker’s series.
Reuters reported the four-day survey, which closed on Sunday, put overall approval at 32% and showed support among Republicans at 73%, down from 82% the week before, according to the poll details in the Reuters item.
That Reuters story framed the slide as tied to rising concerns about the cost of living; the report said just 17% of respondents approved of Mr. Trump’s handling of the cost of living, while disapproval climbed to 66% in the same poll summary.
The Reuters/Ipsos result follows a trend of falling numbers across several U.S. trackers in late September; a Yahoo News summary and NBC affiliate coverage both cited the Reuters/Ipsos finding and described it as the lowest point in the poll’s history.
Analysts and outlets noted the poll’s week-to-week movement: Reuters said the figure was down from 35% in last week’s Reuters/Ipsos reading, a comparable tracked change the pollster reported.
What this means for the campaign and governing politics depends on how stable the shift is across other national polls and over time; Reuters and other outlets that reposted the story recommended watching multiple trackers for confirmation rather than relying on a single weekly number.
