Poll: Trump approval hits record low, handing Democrats a clear midterm edge

Democrats hold a clear midterm edge as voters cite inflation, corruption and Trump’s low approval, with 66% disapproving of his performance.

  • On Sunday, a new Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll revealed President Donald Trump's job approval rating hit a record low of 33%, with 66% of Americans disapproving of his performance.
  • Economic dissatisfaction drives these numbers; 75% of Americans rate the economy negatively and 66% believe Trump is "using the presidency to enrich himself" according to the poll.
  • Likely voters support Democratic candidates over Republicans by an 8-percentage point margin in congressional elections, with 58% preferring a Democratic-led Congress to act as a check on Trump.
  • Bolstering their lead among independent likely voters by 21 points, Democrats also benefit from greater enthusiasm among their supporters, who express higher voting certainty than Republicans.
  • Republicans face a competitive Senate map in Alaska, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Michigan, Ohio, and Texas, as Democrats aim to replicate the 2018 "blue wave" that netted 41 House seats.
