Trump at a Low: Approval Drops to 34%, Nearly Half Say He Has Accomplished ‘Nothing’ in Second Term

Only one in three Americans now approve of Trump’s job performance, according to a Reuters/Ipsos survey that marks his lowest approval since returning to office.

  • On Thursday, August 20, 2026, President Donald Trump's approval rating reached a new record low in a Reuters/Ipsos survey, with only one in three Americans approving of his job performance.
  • Economic strain stems from the ongoing war, which has paralyzed one-fifth of global oil trade and caused gas prices in the United States to surge, fueling voter dissatisfaction.

  • These latest numbers tie President Trump's worst approval rating recorded during his first term in the White House, marking a significant historical low point in his presidency.
  • Partisan divides remain stark, with 69% of Democrats and 41% of Republicans expressing concern over the nation's direction, reflecting deep challenges the administration faces in unifying voters.
