US President Donald Trump’s approval rating has fallen to a record low, with new polls showing growing dissatisfaction among key voter groups just weeks before the November midterm elections.

A Reuters/Ipsos poll released Monday put Trump’s approval rating at 32%, marking the lowest level recorded during his presidency.

The survey also found declining support among independent voters and Latino voters, groups that were important to Trump’s 2024 election victory.

The latest figures come as Republicans prepare for a closely watched midterm vote that will determine control of both chambers of Congress.

Trump has been campaigning across the country for Republican candidates as the party seeks to maintain its political advantage.

Asked about his declining poll numbers before departing for Nebraska on Monday, Trump dismissed the findings, telling reporters that he was “doing great” and criticizing CNN and other media outlets.

A separate NBC News/Telemundo survey pointed to an even sharper decline among Hispanic voters.

According to the poll, 59% of Latino voters said they would prefer a Democratic-controlled Congress, twice the share recorded two years ago.

Only 24% of Hispanic respondents said they approved of Trump’s job performance.

The polling comes amid growing voter concerns over the US economy and other major issues facing the administration, including Trump's war on Iran.

Republicans in some traditionally conservative areas have also faced signs of weakening support, while some members of the party have sought to distance themselves from Trump on issues such as immigration.

With the midterm elections approaching, the extent to which Trump’s declining approval translates into voting behavior could have significant consequences for the balance of power in Washington.
