The Story in Brief
US President Donald Trump’s approval rating rose to 40% from 38% in June, a Marquette Law School Poll found, as Americans continued to rank inflation and living costs as their top personal concern. The SSRS survey, conducted from July 22 to 29, found 35% naming prices as their main worry, while 61% expected Trump’s policies to increase inflation.
Democrats led Republicans 46% to 44% among registered voters on the generic midterm ballot. Among likely voters, the Democratic lead was wider at 51% to 45%. The Supreme Court’s approval stood at 47% in Marquette’s poll, compared with 33% in a July Gallup survey, a 14-point difference.
The Indian Opinion
The easy narratives are that a small approval rise signals a Trump comeback, or that the court’s low standing settles every argument about its conduct. Neither follows from this poll. Voters’ clearest message is about prices, and most expect inflation to worsen under Trump’s policies. The ballot gap is narrow among registered voters, while likely voters show a wider Democratic lead. Turnout and the next inflation reading will test which signal lasts.
