Trump approval edges up to 36% in Reuters/Ipsos poll
Why it matters: Voters still rate Trump poorly on living costs, and Democrats lead Republicans 41% to 38% in the poll ahead of midterms.
President Donald Trump’s approval rating rose 1 point to 36% in a Reuters/Ipsos poll that closed June 15, a modest gain as frustration over living costs eased somewhat. The four-day online poll of 1,537 US adults was conducted before and after Trump said on June 14 that he and Iranian leaders had agreed to end a war that had driven gasoline prices higher. Approval of Trump’s handling of the cost of living rose to 24% from 22% a week earlier and 20% in May, while disapproval fell to 69% from 73% in May. Even so, his overall rating remains near the lowest of his political career and far below the 47% he had when his second term began in January 2025. The poll’s margin of error was 3 points.
