US Midterm Exit Polls Show Voter Dissatisfaction with Trump and Economic Concerns
Early exit polls from the 2026 US midterm elections reveal widespread voter dissatisfaction with President Donald Trump, with about 62% disapproving of his performance. Many voters blamed him for high prices and economic challenges, citing concerns over the cost of living and government corruption. Approximately 70% of voters expressed a desire for Congress to increase checks on the presidency. These polls suggest the elections may serve as a referendum on Trump’s policies and leadership amid a broadly negative public mood.
