Trump net approval
The Economist's line chart drew 42.2K views on X: 0.7x its typical post and #14 of 15 The Economist charts we track by views. Read Oct 10, 2026.
At -20, Donald Trump’s net approval rating is lower than it has been at any point in his second term. The Iran war is probably responsible. View our interactive poll tracker here:

This post spread because it came from an independent author and drew many quotes, with 433 likes, 193 reposts, 17 quotes, 54 saves, and 42,189 views.
What worked
- The chart is a line chart that clearly shows Donald Trump's net approval reaching a new low.
- The post text ties the low to a specific event, the Iran war, which gives the number a clear story.
- The chart is branded calmy and includes a source line, which supports trust without needing extra explanation.
What to borrow
We could use a simple line chart with a clear low point and a short post text that links the change to one likely cause, while keeping our own branding and source line.
Careful
Do not copy the exact political framing or assume the Iran war is the only cause, and do not over-read the quote rate as proof of broad agreement.
