Trump's approval rating drops to 33%, Republicans under pressure ahead of US midterm elections

BlockBeats news, October 19 - With two weeks until the U.S. midterm elections, Republicans are facing a severe political situation. According to a poll conducted jointly by The Washington Post, ABC News, and Ipsos, U.S. President Trump's approval rating has fallen to a new low, and as inflationary pressures intensify and voter sentiment grows increasingly dissatisfied, Democrats are gaining support in the battle for congressional control.

Trump's approval rating currently stands at 33%, with a disapproval rating of 66%; among them, 52% of respondents said they strongly disapprove of his performance. This approval rating is down 8 percentage points from the same period last year and is lower than at any point during his first term. The poll also found that for the first time in more than a decade, Democrats have gained higher voter trust than Republicans on the issue of economic governance.

The overall results of this new poll show that American voters have lost confidence in the president, are deeply concerned about Trump's decision to launch a war against Iran, and are bearing the economic impact of the war, especially the hit to household finances from rising gasoline prices.
