Trump approval at record low; Hispanic voters sour on Republicans, Reuters/Ipsos poll finds - Reuters

A recent poll conducted by Reuters and Ipsos shows that President Donald Trump’s approval rating has fallen to a record low in the days preceding the survey. The poll, completed on Monday, captured public sentiment across the United States as voters assess the president’s performance.

The survey was carried out among a cross‑section of U.S. adults and reflects attitudes measured shortly before the upcoming midterm elections scheduled for next month. While the exact approval figure was not disclosed, the poll’s analysis characterises the rating as the lowest recorded for the president in recent polling cycles.

Among demographic groups, Hispanic voters expressed particularly strong disapproval of the president’s job performance. The poll indicates that a sizable portion of Hispanic respondents rated Trump unfavorably and voiced criticism of his policies and conduct while in office.

In addition to low approval, the same group of Hispanic respondents indicated an intention to distance themselves from the Republican Party in the forthcoming midterm elections. The poll suggests that many plan to vote for candidates outside the party rather than support Republican nominees.

These findings arrive as political parties prepare for the midterm contests, with the Republican Party facing potential challenges in retaining support among Hispanic voters, a demographic that has become increasingly pivotal in recent electoral cycles.
