Trump Gains on Israel-Gaza Handling as Economic Approval Hits New Low

Fresh surveys point to a split verdict, with a Gaza bump offset by record-weak marks on the economy.

Overview

  • Emerson College finds Trump’s job approval steady at 45% with disapproval up to 48% in an Oct. 13–14 poll of registered voters.
  • AP-NORC reports 47% of U.S. adults approve of Trump’s handling of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict after the ceasefire announcement, while overall approval holds at about four in ten.
  • CNBC’s All-America Economic Survey shows 42% approve and 55% disapprove of Trump’s economic performance, the lowest economic rating in its series during either term.
  • A 53% plurality in the CNBC survey assigns potential shutdown fallout to Republicans in Congress and the president, with independents driving much of the recent movement against Trump on economic measures.
  • Economy remains the top voter concern in Emerson’s poll, 40% say their finances are worse than a year ago, and voters split 50–50 on whether Trump’s second term counts as a success or a failure.
