Trump's approval rating hits a dismal low, with just 37% of Americans expressing satisfaction with his presidency. The latest CNN/SSRS survey shows a significant decline in Trump's approval ratings since he began his second term, with only 63% disapproving of his performance.
In the midst of what is shaping up to be the longest government shutdown in US history, many Americans are expressing frustration and concern about the state of the country. When asked how things are going, a majority said "pretty/very badly," while only a small percentage said "very/fairly well."
Economically speaking, 47% of Americans cited cost of living as the top issue facing the nation, with Trump's policies being blamed for making the economy worse rather than improving it. Even among those in rural Republican towns where Trump has implemented tariffs, there is growing concern about the impact on industries.
In terms of foreign policy, opinions are sharply divided, with 56% believing that Trump's decisions have hurt US standing abroad and only 32% saying they've helped. The President's use of executive power has also raised eyebrows, with a majority believing he has gone too far in expanding his authority.
As the midterm elections loom large on the horizon, it's clear that many Americans are looking to send a message to Trump – either by voting against him or showing support for his agenda. With 41% saying their vote would be a way to express opposition and only 21% expressing support, it's clear that Trump faces significant headwinds in the coming elections.
Overall, the latest survey paints a dire picture of public opinion on Trump's presidency, with many Americans feeling frustrated, concerned, and disenchanted.

. I mean, 37% approval rating? That's crazy low! And it's not just the numbers, it's the reasons behind them. People are feeling like they're stuck in limbo with no end to this government shutdown in sight 
. And have you seen the cost of living going up and up? It's like, what are we even doing here? 
. I know some people love him, but from where I'm sitting, it feels like he's making things worse instead of better. And those tariffs? They're hurting people who already struggle to make ends meet 
.
. It feels like we're so far apart right now. I'm hoping that the midterm elections will bring some change, but I'm also scared of what might happen if we don't get it together as a country 
.
It's literally hitting rock bottom! 37% is crazy low 
. And it's not just one thing, people are talking about all this stuff - cost of living, economy, foreign policy... it's a mess 
.
. People are actually more worried about the country than they are about him 
, but it seems like most Americans just want things to change for the better 
.
Trump's approval rating is through the floor and it's only going to keep going downhill from here. The whole country's had enough of his antics and the economy's tanking because of him. I mean, 47% saying cost of living is the biggest issue? That's all on him! And don't even get me started on foreign policy – 56% think he's made things worse? It's like, hello, basic diplomacy 101, dude 
. Anyway, I'm loving the fact that people are finally standing up to him and saying, "You know what? We're done with you." The midterm elections can't come soon enough for me 
... but seriously though 37% approval rating is pretty low even by my standards. It's like, come on guys get it together 
. The guy needs to focus on what he can control rather than trying to be some kind of world leader. Newsflash: you don't need executive power to make decisions, use Congress for once 
and I'm low-key hoping Trump loses big time 
.
. The cost of living thing is a biggie, though... maybe it's time for some changes 
. And let's be real, the economy's been weird lately 
. But hey, at least we're all on the same page about wanting something better 
. Midterms are coming up, so let's just say it's gonna be an interesting ride 
!
! 37%? that's like, almost half of americans are straight up hating on him 
. it's no wonder ppl r getting frustrated w/ the gov shutdown & cost of living... i feel like he's making things WORSE not better 
We need some real solutions around here, not just politics as usual. 
. I'm not surprised to see 56% of Americans feeling like his foreign policy decisions have hurt the US standing abroad 
. Maybe it's time for some fresh faces in Washington and a new perspective on how things get done 
. With the midterm elections coming up, it'll be interesting to see how Trump does at the polls. He's got a tough road ahead of him if he wants to keep his job 
. the fact that cost of living is the top issue facing the nation makes sense, since his policies have been blamed for making things worse economically 
.
. maybe this is the wake-up call trumps needed? 
Anyway, I'm not saying he should be impeached or anything (although that would be pretty entertaining), but it's clear he needs to step up his game if he wants to turn this around before the midterms. 
. like, have u seen the progress he made with NASA? it's out of this world 
. i'm not saying everything is perfect but, imo, trump's just trying to shake things up in washington 
and it's gonna be interesting to see how this all plays out in the midterms 
, not a great look for the guy! but seriously, who thought it was a good idea to have the longest gov't shutdown in history? it's like the country is stuck in some kind of weird never-ending loop 
. Trump's policies might've been a good idea at first, but they're definitely not working out anymore 
. Anyone else feeling the same way?
