Trump's Approval Falls to 33 Percent as Democrats Lead House Ahead of MidtermsPreviousNext

US President Donald Trump's approval rating has dropped to 33 percent, with 66 percent of Americans disapproving, according to a Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll. Rising living costs, including fuel prices, and opposition to the US military action against Iran contribute to voter dissatisfaction. Democrats hold an eight-point lead over Republicans in the race for the House of Representatives, reflecting growing concerns ahead of the November 3 midterm elections. The poll surveyed 2,545 US adults from October 9 to 13.
