Trump Approval at 40% in NBC News Poll Ahead of Midterms
Voters cite the economy and prices as top concerns, while 52% prefer Democratic control of Congress, the poll found.
- Registered voters prefer a Democratic-controlled Congress by a 7-point margin, with Democrats leading Republicans 52%-45% in a new NBC News poll conducted Oct. 28-30. President Donald Trump's disapproval rating has climbed to 60%, a new high mark.
- Nearly two-thirds of voters call for change from Trump's direction, with 50% demanding "a great deal" of change. For the first time in 30 years, more voters are dissatisfied with their financial situation than satisfied .
- Trump maintains near-unanimous job approval among Republicans supporting the "MAGA" movement. However, he has slipped significantly with non-MAGA Republicans, where 46% disapprove, dragging down his standing in states he won in 2024.
- Around half of voters hold negative views of both parties, yet Democrats lead on the congressional ballot among the 28% who do not trust either party. House Republican Speaker Mike Johnson faces low approval ratings amid this voter skepticism.
- Three percent of voters remain undecided as the poll closes, and how they shift in final days could tilt dead-heat House and Senate races. Voters are fired up about the midterms, with 70% ranking themselves as a "9" or "10" on interest.
