Quinnipiac poll: 34% approve of Trump's job performance, 61% disapprove
Thirty-four percent of voters approve of the way President Donald Trump is handling his job and 61% disapprove, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released Tuesday. The poll was conducted among 1,032 self-identified registered voters nationwide from Sept. 24 to 27, with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.8 percentage points, polling officials said.
Those numbers match an all-time high disapproval rating last reached in a Quinnipiac University poll in January 2021, officials said. Respondents were asked about China, foreign policy, the economy, the war in Iran and artificial intelligence.
On United States policy toward China, 34% of respondents said they approve, 53% disapprove and 13% offered no opinion. On the country's overall foreign policy, 34% said they approve and 62% said they disapprove, with 4% offering no opinion.
On the economy, 31% of respondents said they approve, 65% disapprove and 4% did not offer an opinion. Polling officials said the approval of Trump's handling of the economy is at an all-time low for both terms, and cited a previous low in Quinnipiac University's Sept. 10 poll, when 32% approved, 65% disapproved and 3% did not offer an opinion.
On Iran, 28% said they approve of how Trump has handled the situation, 66% said they disapprove and 5% did not offer an opinion; the figure ties his all-time low on Iran with a prior Quinnipiac poll from July, according to the poll. Approval of the administration's handling of artificial intelligence was around 25%, with 58% disapproving and 17% not offering an opinion.
Respondents also rated Congress. About 26% of voters said they approve of the way Republicans in Congress are handling their jobs and 67% disapprove, while about 22% approve of the way Democrats in Congress are handling their jobs and 69% disapprove. Among Republicans, 64% approve of how Republicans in Congress are handling their jobs and 28% disapprove; among Democrats, 49% approve of how Democrats in Congress are handling their jobs and 43% disapprove.
