But a recent national poll from CNN \/ SSRS paints a markedly different picture. According to that survey, his approval rating has fallen to 37 %, down from 47 % earlier this year. The GuardianThe poll of 1,245 adults underscores how economic issues \u2014 especially the rising cost of living \u2014 now dominate public concern. Nearly half (47 %) of respondents named cost-of-living pressures as their top priority, far ahead of issues like immigration or national security. The Guardian<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While unemployment remains low, many Americans say rising prices for essentials like housing, food, and healthcare have squeezed household budgets. That economic pain appears to translate into waning confidence: 61 % of respondents told pollsters they believe Trump\u2019s policies have worsened conditions, while just 27 % said they\u2019ve helped. The GuardianOn foreign policy, the picture is also bleak. The poll found that 56 % believe Trump has damaged the United States\u2019 global standing through aggressive trade policies, abrupt military decisions, and tensions with long-standing allies. Only 32 % said his policies had improved America\u2019s international position.
