Americans Assess Trump Approval at Unchanged 47 Percent According to Latest National Survey
WASHINGTON (Reuters) — An overwhelming majority of Americans have expressed a neutral to negative view of President Donald Trump’s job performance, according to a new national poll released Tuesday.
The survey, conducted by the Pew Research Center, found that 47 percent of respondents approve of the president’s handling of the economy and foreign policy, while a combined 53 percent either disapproved or had no opinion. The findings come as the administration faces declining approval on issues related to Afghanistan and the coronavirus pandemic.
Key details of the report:
Who: The survey polled 2,500 registered voters nationwide, including Republicans, Democrats, and Independents.
What: The report assesses President Trump approval ratings on key domestic and international issues.
Where: The findings were released in Washington, D.C., at a Pew Research Center briefing.
When: The poll was conducted between October 10 and October 15, 2021.
Why: The survey aims to measure public sentiment ahead of the 2022 midterm elections.
How: Researchers collected data via telephone and online interviews, ensuring a margin of error of plus or minus two percentage points.
Overall, the approval figures remain stable compared to last month, though analysts note that sustained economic confidence continues to prop up the president’s overall job approval rating.
