Trump voters not pumped about voting in the November midterms, Reuters/Ipsos poll finds
The poll also finds Democrats hold an 8-point lead in House preferences as Trump voters show weaker enthusiasm and consolidation.
- A Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Thursday found 48% of 2024 voters who backed former Vice President Kamala Harris are 'very enthusiastic' about voting in the November 3 midterms, compared to just 30% of President Donald Trump's supporters.
- Trump's approval rating has fallen to 30%, his lowest point of his second term, while internal polling reveals weak Republican Party consolidation among his 2024 voters compared to Harris supporters' stronger party loyalty.
- Male voters, a demographic Trump carried in all three of his presidential campaigns, now favor Democrats 43% to 39%—the widest Democratic advantage among men during Trump's second term, signaling erosion in his electoral coalition.
- Republicans are bracing for 'close-to-catastrophic scenarios' in formerly safe districts, with party officials expanding their target list and scrambling to shore up congressional candidates amid weak voter enthusiasm and turnout signals.
- Cost of living remains voters' top concern heading into November, while 62% of enthusiastic respondents say they are motivated by opposition to Trump, complicating GOP midterm prospects despite party efforts to consolidate support.
