BlockBeats news, October 27 - A Reuters/Ipsos poll completed on Monday showed Trump's public approval rating rose to 32%, up 1 percentage point from last week. In the "generic congressional ballot" survey, 47% of registered voters said they leaned toward voting for Democrats, 36% chose Republicans, and another 11% were undecided. The gap between the two parties was 11 percentage points, narrowing by 1 percentage point from the previous round of similar polling that ended on October 19.
Therefore, Republicans still face a battle for congressional control: if they lose their majority in the House or Senate, Trump will face more resistance in advancing his policy agenda during the last two years of his second presidential term.
National generic ballot polls reflect voters' overall leanings on congressional control, but cannot directly show the specific situations in individual states and districts. Political analysts generally believe that Democrats have a chance to win control of the House, but face greater challenges in taking the Senate; Republicans still have structural advantages in some districts.
