New polling numbers paint a bleak picture for President Donald Trump just months before the 2026 midterm elections.
The latest Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos survey found Trump's disapproval rating has climbed to 62%, the highest level recorded during either of his terms in office.
The poll was conducted among 2,560 American adults between April 24-28, with a margin of error of plus or minus 2.2 percentage points.
The strongest source of voter frustration remains the economy, particularly inflation and rising living costs, with 76% of respondents disapproving of Trump's handling of the issue.
Even broader economic perceptions have slipped significantly, with 65% disapproving of Trump's handling of the economy overall.
The administration's handling of the Iran conflict has also been a point of concern, with 66% of Americans disapproving of Trump's approach to the Iran war.
However, Trump continues to receive relatively stronger support on immigration and border security, with 45% approving of his handling of immigration at the US-Mexico border.
Despite this, large portions of Americans expressed broader distrust toward both political parties on several key national issues.
Republican support remains strong, but cracks are emerging, with approval among Republican-leaning independents dropping to 56%, a new low in the survey.
The polling also indicates growing momentum for Democratic Party candidates ahead of November's House elections, with Democrats currently holding a five-point advantage over Republicans on congressional preference.
