Washington DC - President Donald Trump remains deeply unpopular among American voters a week after facing a devastating rebuke in the midterm elections, a new poll has found.

A week after his stinging defeat at the midterms, Trump's deep unpopularity has been reflected in a new Reuters/Ipsos poll – released on Monday – that puts his approval ratings close to a new career-low.

The new poll puts Trump's approval rating at 32%, holding his unpopularity steady for the third consecutive poll. It is only 1% higher than his career low, 31%, which was reported in mid-October.

According to the new poll, only 21% of Americans approve of Trump's handling of the cost of living crisis, a number that has crashed in part due to high fuel prices brought on by the Iran war.

To make matters worse, only 50% of Republicans think he's done enough to keep prices down.

While only 25% of Americans are favorable to his handling of the economy, 38% remained happy with his immigration policy. This number was bolstered by Republicans, 81% of whom supported his approach.

The latest poll serves as a reiteration of the devastating losses Trump faced in last week's midterm elections, which pundits have widely referred to as a "blue tsunami" due to the extend of Democratic wins and GOP losses.

Major Senate seats – notably in South Carolina, Texas, and Maine – flipped blue, handing Democrats at least 54 seats. The same can be said in the House of Representatives, where current counts give Democrats 254 seats.

Republicans also suffered a series of losses in state elections. Notably, Democrat Keisha Lance Bottoms won the race for governor in Georgia, while Trump-backed Vivek Ramaswamy lost to Democrat Amy Acton in Ohio.

In Texas, incumbent GOP Governor Greg Abbott faced a devastating defeat to Democrat Gina Hinojosa.
