Overview
- Multiple national polls released in late July 2026 put President Trump’s overall approval in the low‑30s, a new low for his presidency in several trackers.
- Approval of his handling of the war with Iran sits in the high‑20s to low‑30s while about two‑thirds of Americans say the conflict has not been worth fighting.
- A majority of voters blame Trump for higher gasoline prices and many report worse household finances as fuel averages top $4 a gallon and inflation remains elevated.
- Support inside the Republican Party has eroded to roughly the high‑70s percent in CNN/SSRS polling and one Quinnipiac survey shows Democrats leading the generic House ballot 48% to 41%.
- Large shares of adults now say Trump is not focused on the country’s top problems and question his stamina and priorities, a perception tied to attention on White House construction projects and other high‑profile domestic items.
