President Donald Trump's approval rating has hit a new low in a recent poll, with only 30% of Americans expressing approval of his job performance as the 2026 midterm elections draw closer.

The American Research Group poll found that 66% disapprove of Trump's performance, with economic concerns driving the surge in disapproval.

Among respondents who disapprove of Trump, 82% believe that economic conditions will deteriorate over the next year, according to the poll.

The findings come as economic pessimism continues to deepen across voters, with both major parties shaping their strategies ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

Trump's economic management has also come under fire, with just 26% of respondents approving of his handling of the economy and 70% expressing disapproval.

A Marist poll conducted on June 18 found that 60% of Americans disapproved of Trump's economic performance, underscoring a broader trend of economic dissatisfaction among voters.

Trump's approval rating has remained in negative territory for over a year, showing continued fluctuations but an overall trend toward greater disapproval in recent months.

A White House spokesperson rejected the poll results, dismissing the survey findings in response to the reported decline in approval ratings.
