Poll Shows Trump Approval Near Record Low as Democrats Lead in Midterm Ballot
A Reuters Ipsos poll shows US President Donald Trump's approval rating remains near a record low at around 32%, while Democrats lead Republicans 46% to 38% in the generic congressional ballot ahead of the November midterm elections. The Democratic lead narrowed from 11 to 8 points in a week. Rising living costs, partly linked to Trump's policies, are a key voter concern. Among independents, half view their vote as against Trump, with only 13% supporting him, while 33% say he is not a factor.
