Trump Approval Creeps to 36% as Gas Prices Stabilize

The four-day survey, which concluded Monday, captured sentiment shifts following the administration’s diplomatic pivot. By signaling an end to the conflict with Iran, the White House helped stabilize gasoline prices, which had previously served as a primary driver of household inflation. While the immediate pressure at the pump has eased, the broader economic reality remains difficult for many Americans, who continue to grapple with elevated living expenses compared to earlier this year.

Public confidence in the president’s handling of inflation rose slightly from 22% to 24%, yet his overall approval remains historically low. This persistent skepticism presents a significant strategic challenge for Republican candidates heading into the next election cycle, as the gap between administrative policy announcements and the tangible financial relief felt by voters remains wide.
