The latest NBC News poll revealed 55% of voters believe Donald Trump's policies have hurt the economy, while 56% disapprove of his overall job performance.
Midterm election sentiment shows 43% of registered voters say their vote for Congress expresses opposition to Trump, while 27% plan to express support for him.
The Republican Party currently trails the Democratic Party on economic trust, 38%-39%, as more than 6 in 10 voters say the Iran war is not worth it.
In the battle for Congress, the Democratic Party holds a 5-point lead, 50%-45%, targeting red-leaning Senate races in Alaska, Iowa, Ohio, and Texas.
