In a broad snapshot of national sentiment, President Trump holds 37 percent approval and 62 percent disapproval in the latest Post-ABC-Ipsos poll, with disapproval at a new high across his two terms.

Among Republicans, approval remains relatively strong at 85 percent, though the share who strongly approve has declined to 45 percent; approval among Republican-leaning independents has fallen to 56 percent.

Economic sentiment remains weak for Trump, with only 34 percent approving his overall economic policy, 27 percent backing his handling of inflation, and 23 percent approving concerns about the cost of living.
