President Donald Trump's approval rating has reached a record low of 32%, according to multiple polls. The decline comes amid growing dissatisfaction with his administration's handling of the economy, particularly rising prices driven by the war with Iran.

The Reuters/Ipsos poll, completed on Monday, shows that support among Hispanic voters has plummeted to 24%, the lowest point in either of Trump's two terms. This marks a significant drop from the 2024 presidential election when Trump won nearly half of the Hispanic vote.

Democrats are capitalizing on Trump's low approval ratings, with polls indicating they lead in key races ahead of the midterm elections. According to CBS News, Democrats maintain an edge for a narrow majority in the House, driven by opposition to Trump's policies and a Republican base that is less likely to turnout.

Voters across various demographics express concern about economic issues, particularly rising prices for food and groceries. The war with Iran has also contributed to higher gas prices, further fueling voter dissatisfaction. Hispanic voters, in particular, are critical of Trump's immigration policies, including deportation efforts that they perceive as unfairly targeting their community.
