Overview
- New national surveys place the president’s approval in the mid-30s, with 36% in Reuters/Ipsos, 35% in Strength in Numbers–Verasight, and 37% in an NBC News poll.
- Nate Silver’s aggregate shows net approval near -16.9, with about 56.5% disapprove and 39.5% approve, and topic ratings have slid most on the economy, trade, and inflation.
- Aggregated polling on the U.S. campaign in Iran shows majority opposition, roughly 54% against and 39% in favor after support hit a low early this month.
- Reuters/Ipsos finds many voters doubt the president’s temperament and mental sharpness after he attacked the Pope and shared AI-generated religious and violent imagery that drew criticism.
- Democrats lead the generic House ballot by about 5.5 points in Silver’s average, suggesting House gains in November, while the current Senate map still favors Republicans.
