Trump Approval Near Record Low as Democrats Lead Ahead of US Midterm Elections
A Reuters Ipsos poll shows US President Donald Trump's approval rating near a record low at 32%, with Democrats leading Republicans 46% to 38% in the generic congressional ballot ahead of the midterm elections. The Democratic lead narrowed from 11 to 8 points compared to a week earlier. Rising living costs, influenced by factors like fuel price increases after US actions in Iran, are a key voter concern. Among independents, half said their vote opposes Trump, while a third said he was not a factor.
