According to a survey, a majority of Americans are dissatisfied with US President Donald Trump. As the US media “Washington Post” reports, a total of 59 percent of those surveyed said they disapproved of Trump’s work. 41 percent approve of them. The approval ratings for the US President have not been this bad since the storming of the Capitol in Washington in January 2021, reports the Washington Post. The US President is particularly strongly rejected on the following point: 64 percent of those surveyed believe that he is going too far when he “attempts to expand the power of the presidency.”
Among Republican supporters, Trump’s support remains strong at 86 percent overall, while 95 percent of Democrats oppose him. Among independents, Trump’s approval rating is 30 percent, while his rejection rate is 69 percent. The survey was conducted between October 24 and 28, 2025 by the market research institute Ipsos on behalf of the Washington Post and ABC News.
Former US President Barack Obama campaigned for the Democratic candidates ahead of the eagerly anticipated elections in the states of Virginia and New Jersey and warned of the dangers to US democracy under President Donald Trump. “New Jersey, it’s time to move America in a better direction,” he said Saturday in Newark.
In New Jersey, the Democratic candidate for governor, Abigail Spanberger, is well ahead of her Republican rival Winsome Earle-Sears in polls. In Virginia, there are signs of a closer race between Democrat Mikie Sherrill and businessman Jack Ciattarelli. The elections are seen as a test of sentiment for the midterm elections for Congress next year.
