Trump's Approval Ratings Reach Historic Lows Ahead of 2026 US Midterm Elections
Recent polls show US President Donald Trump at historically low approval ratings ahead of the November 3 midterm elections, with figures dropping below those of previous presidents at similar stages.

Despite these ratings, Trump continues efforts to obtain voter data amid legal challenges, aiming to address concerns about noncitizen voter registrations. Republicans seek to maintain control of Congress amid these developments.
