Before the congressional elections, Trump's approval rating is at an all-time low

According to a recent survey by Reuters/Ipsos, support for U.S. President Donald Trump has reached a historic low, with only 31 percent of Americans expressing satisfaction with his leadership. This marks the lowest approval rating during both of his terms in office. The survey also indicates that registered voters are more likely to support the Democratic Party over the Republican Party in the upcoming congressional elections on November 3rd, with 47 percent favoring Democrats compared to 35 percent for Republicans. This twelve-point lead represents the largest gap seen so far in the election campaign. The results suggest that if the Democrats gain control of either the House of Representatives or the Senate, it could hinder Trump's political initiatives in the final two years of his presidency. However, the nationwide poll does not reflect the specific dynamics within individual states and districts, which ultimately determine the majority in the Senate and House of Representatives.

U.S. President Donald Trump's approval rating has reached a historic low, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll completed on Monday. Only 31 percent of Americans expressed satisfaction with his leadership, marking a one-percentage-point decline from two weeks prior and representing the lowest level during either of his presidential terms. This comes amid rising concerns over high gasoline prices and a potential backlash against his Republican Party in the upcoming November 3 congressional elections. The poll revealed that 47 percent of registered voters indicated they would support the Democratic Party if the congressional elections were held immediately, while 35 percent supported the Republican Party. This 12-point lead for Democrats is the largest recorded in this election cycle and could bolster their chances of gaining control of both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate. Losing control of either chamber would likely hinder Trump's political initiatives in the final two years of his presidency. The survey, conducted online over four days, included responses from 1679 adults in the United States, with 1279 being registered voters. The margin of error is two percentage points for all participants and three percentage points for registered voters. However, the results reflect national trends and do not account for variations within individual states and districts, which play a crucial role in determining the composition of the Senate and House. The findings highlight a shift in voter preferences, particularly among women, who showed stronger support for Democratic candidates. Approximately 50 percent of female voters indicated they would choose Democrats, compared to 32 percent for Republicans. Male voters also leaned toward Democrats, though by a smaller margin. Trump's declining popularity follows military actions taken in February alongside Israel against Iran, which led to increased fuel prices and economic repercussions. About 68 percent of Americans disapprove of how Trump has handled the economy, including 37 percent of self-identified Republicans. Voters in the poll also favored Democrats as better stewards of the economy, with 40 percent supporting them compared to 33 percent for Republicans. Recent polls indicate growing challenges for Trump and his party ahead of the midterm elections, which could influence control of the House and Senate. An NBC poll released recently found that 71 percent of Americans believe the country is on the "wrong track," and 55 percent would vote for the Democratic Party if an election were held that day. Another poll by the Washington Post/ABC/Ipsos, released on Monday, found Trump's approval rating at a record low of 33 percent, with seven out of ten respondents stating that petrol or gasoline had become unaffordable. As the midterm elections approach, the political landscape appears increasingly uncertain for the Republican Party, despite holding narrow majorities in both chambers of Congress. The outcome of these elections will significantly impact the trajectory of Trump's remaining time in office and the broader political dynamics in the United States.

Poll two weeks before midterms: Trump himself is becoming more of a problem

Two weeks before the midterm elections, a survey by the Washington Post and ABC News, conducted with the polling institute Ipsos, indicates that President Donald Trump's approval rating has reached a new low, which could spell trouble for the Republican Party. According to the poll, Trump's approval rate among American adults is at 33 percent, while 66 percent disapprove of him, with 52 percent expressing strong disapproval. This marks a decline from previous months and is the lowest point during his first term. The survey also suggests that Democrats are gaining trust among voters regarding economic management, surpassing Republicans for the first time in over a decade. Additionally, registered voters prefer a Democratic-led Congress that would act as a check on Trump's power, with 58 percent favoring this option compared to 39 percent who support a Republican-led Congress backing Trump's agenda.
