Trump Approval Rating Drops to Record Low, Poll Shows

President Donald Trump's approval rating has fallen to its lowest level ever recorded, according to a new poll cited by CNN Brasil on Sunday. The survey, conducted by the Financial Times, puts his approval at 33%.

CNN Brasil reports that this figure marks a new negative record for Trump's presidency. The decline comes as multiple Brazilian outlets, including O Globo and VEJA, highlight the political implications with the U.S. midterm elections roughly two months away.

The poll's findings align with broader electoral forecasts. O Globo, in a separate report, notes that Democrats are now favored to take control of the House of Representatives and are making gains in Senate races. This shift in public sentiment appears to reflect growing challenges for the president and his party.

Other outlets, such as Estadão and CartaCapital, have also picked up on the trend, emphasizing that the 33% approval rating represents the lowest point ever measured in the Financial Times' tracking. The consistent reporting across these sources underscores the significance of the drop.

The timing is critical, as the midterm elections approach. With voter dissatisfaction seemingly on the rise, the president's low approval could influence turnout and party performance in key races.

What to watch next: Whether further polls confirm this downward trajectory and how the White House responds in the weeks leading up to the election.
