Overview
- The Washington Post–ABC News–Ipsos survey released Sunday found 37% approval and 62% disapproval for President Trump, the highest disapproval recorded in that series across both terms.
- Independent polls from late April point the same way, with Pew at 34% approval, Leger at 36% and Big Data Poll showing disapproval hardening among registered voters.
- Voters give the White House its worst marks on household costs, with 76% disapproving of Trump’s handling of the cost of living, 72% disapproving on inflation and 34% approving of his work on the economy.
- Public reaction to the Iran war is also negative, as 66% disapprove of Trump’s handling of the conflict, a view echoed across coverage that links the fighting to higher fuel costs.
- Election measures in the Post/ABC/Ipsos poll show Democrats up 5 points on the generic House ballot with stronger turnout enthusiasm, while Trump’s standing has slipped among GOP‑leaning independents to 56% approval and to 25% among independents overall.
