Overview
- Mid‑July polling rounds from The Washington Post, CNBC, Economist/YouGov and Echelon Insights converge on deeply negative net job approval in the low‑20s, roughly -22 to -24 overall.
- An Echelon Insights omnibus conducted July 9–13 of 1,004 likely voters found parents have flipped to net disapproval and reported mothers at about -25 net approval.
- CNN data analyst Harry Enten and multiple pollsters report independents are especially hostile to the president, with net approval near -45 and driving much of the overall decline.
- Polling shows the Iran war is highly unpopular, with Washington Post measures around -40 on the war question, and voters cite rising gas and grocery costs as a top reason for falling support.
- The cumulative trend has given Democrats a small but consistent edge on the generic congressional ballot and prompted Republican concern, including a White House meeting with House GOP leaders, about vulnerability in the midterms.
