Donald Trump approval ratings fall ahead of US midterm elections
Donald Trump's approval ratings have reached significant lows as the US midterm elections approach. A New York Times/Siena College poll shows his approval at 36%, with 59% of respondents disapproving of his management. Key drivers of this discontent include the cost of living, gasoline prices, and the ongoing conflict with Iran.
In a separate Reuters/Ipsos survey, Trump's approval rating was recorded at 31%. Economic concerns remain a primary issue for voters, with high disapproval rates regarding gasoline prices (73%), the cost of living (69%), and the general economy (64%).
Early voting is seeing high engagement, with over 20 million Americans having already cast ballots across 47 states and the District of Columbia. California and Texas lead in total votes recorded. Meanwhile, political shifts are noted among Hispanic voters in Texas, where dissatisfaction is growing due to deportation policies and economic pressures.
