Amid a week dominated by President Donald Trump’s meetings with world leaders over the Russia-Ukraine war, polling of the president’s approval ratings continues to reach record lows.
A succession of major national polls released over the last month has tracked a significant dip in the Republican leader’s approval ratings among Americans, many logging some of the lowest numbers since Trump took office in January.
The most recent Reuters/Ipsos poll, conducted from Aug. 13 to 18, put the president’s approval rating at 40%, matching the lowest level the survey has seen in his second term. It follows a near-record low 38% from an Aug. 4-10 Pew Research Center poll, which tracked a nine-point drop from the Center’s early February survey and a three-point drop over the last two months. A July 7-21 Gallup poll found even lower opinions of the president’s job performance in its most recent release, recording a 37% approval rating.
