If you listen to Donald Trump, he describes his second term as running smoothly — progress, strength, and stability. But according to newly released national polling, many Americans aren’t feeling that same sense of confidence.

A recent CNN/SSRS survey taken between October 27 and 30 among 1,245 adults suggests Trump’s overall approval has dropped to 37%. Earlier this year, in mid-February, his approval was at 47%. The new number places him near one of the lowest points of his presidency, close to the same levels recorded following the January 6 Capitol riot in 2021. According to the survey, 63% now disapprove of his performance.

When asked about the broader state of the country, the tone remained pessimistic. 68% of respondents said things in the U.S. are going “pretty/very badly,” while only 32% said they feel conditions are going “very/fairly well.” Rising prices and household expenses appear to be driving much of this concern. Nearly half of respondents — 47% — named the economy and cost of living as the most pressing national issue.
