Trump Hits Record Disapproval in Post-ABC-Ipsos Poll

Voters blame rising costs tied to the Iran war for his slide.

Overview

  • The Washington PostABC News–Ipsos survey, conducted April 24–28 and reported Sunday, shows 37% approval and 62% disapproval for President Trump, the highest disapproval of his two terms.
  • Ratings on pocketbook issues are the worst in the poll, with 76% disapproving of his handling of the cost of living, 72% disapproving of inflation, and 65% disapproving of the economy.
  • On the Iran war, 66% disapprove of Trump’s handling, a flashpoint that polling and coverage link to higher oil and gas prices that strain household budgets.
  • Trump retains strong support among Republicans at about 85% approval, while approval drops to 56% among Republican‑leaning independents and 25% among independents overall.
  • Democrats lead the generic U.S. House ballot by five points among registered voters, and enthusiasm measures show Democrats more likely to say they are certain to vote in November.
