Support for Donald Trump has tumbled as his term has progressed, with the latest poll showing his approval rating at its lowest point all year.
The latest Reuters/Ipsos poll of nearly 4,500 Americans found that the president is carrying a 40 percent approval rating.
That level of support, the lowest of the president's second term, ties Trump's approval rating from the same pollsters just weeks ago in late July.
Trump's disapproval rating ticked slightly down in the latest survey to 54 percent. The 79-year-old president's disapproval stood at 56 percent as of July 27.
It is a seven-point drop in support for the president from the beginning of his term, when Trump had a 47 percent approval rating.
At this point in his term, former President Joe Biden maintained a 50 percent approval rating, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll taken in August 2021.
The slumping approval rating comes amid signs that the U.S. economy is weakening and high-stakes diplomatic negotiations with Russia and Ukraine to end their ongoing war continue.
Over half of the respondents, 54 percent, including a quarter of Republicans, said they believe Trump is too closely aligned with Russia.

Notably, Trump bled support among Hispanics as he oversees a sweeping nationwide immigration crackdown that has led to at least 300,00 repatriations.
Just 32 percent of Hispanics in the latest Reuters/Ipsos survey approved of the president's performance.
Support for Trump came predominantly from registered Republicans.
Only 42 percent of respondents voiced support for the president's performance on crime, and 43 percent said he is doing a good job on immigration.
When it comes to the economy, just 37 percent approved of Trump's job.
The survey was administered the same week Trump announced he was federalizing the Washington, D.C., police force and deploying additional National Guard troops to the district.
Other recent polls, meanwhile, have shown more support for the president's job performance.
According to the RealClearPolitics polling average, Trump's approval sits at 46 percent while his disapproval rating is 51 percent.
An Insider Advantage poll also taken last week showed Trump with a 54 percent approval and a 44 percent disapproval.
The latest poll from the Daily Mail/J.L. Partners similarly found higher support for the president in late July.
Forty-nine percent of voters signaled approval of Trump's job performance as president, up one point from the tracking survey conducted earlier in July.
But he was underwater as 51 percent disapprove of Trump's job performance, down one point from earlier in the month.

The Daily Smell Poll? Really? I speak with American Hispanics on a regular basis and most of them support 45-47 mainly because they don't want the illegals in the US. They weren't fooled by the Democrats' open border policy and wanted the border closed. American Hispanics and Illegal Hispanics are two different populations with different views.
You've got your head stuck up Trump's ass so far that you did not see that this was a Reuters/Ipsos poll, not a Daily Mail poll.
I saw where the Poll originated. I also saw the Polls before 45-47's landslide election. Turns out most of them were either wrong or manipulated. Your disdain of 45-47 is palpable. You are correct in my admiration for 45-47.
