Trump approval rating drops to 37% amid approaching US midterm elections
US President Donald Trump's approval rating has fallen to 37 per cent, the lowest for any president before midterm elections in Wall Street Journal polls since 1990. Americans vote on November 3. For Indian exporters and businesses, the result matters because it could shift US trade policy, tariffs and the Iran conflict, which is already pushing oil prices and inflation higher.
Key Statutory Highlights
- Trump's approval rating is 37 per cent, the lowest for any president heading into midterm elections in Wall Street Journal polls dating to 1990.
- The United States midterm elections will take place on November 3.
- The US Supreme Court, in a 6-3 opinion, allowed the Trump administration to use a federal citizenship database to verify voters ahead of the midterms.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:If your business deals in US exports, imports or dollar payments, keep an eye on tariff and oil price news over the next few weeks and hold a small cash cushion. Trade policy can change quickly after an election, so it is wise to review contracts and pricing with your CA before making big commitments.
