Poll Shows Voter Concerns Over Trump Ahead of Midterm Elections Amid Security InvestigationsPreviousNext

A recent AP-NORC poll shows a strong majority of Americans believe President Donald Trump is underperforming on domestic and foreign policy, prompting calls for significant change in the upcoming November midterm elections. Federal authorities are investigating suspicious letters sent to congressional and election offices nationwide just weeks before Election Day, raising security concerns. Trump also announced the Pentagon will not livestream the execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan following bipartisan criticism. Fundraising efforts and competitive races are intensifying as Republicans and Democrats prepare for the elections.
