A new Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll shows President Donald Trump's approval among U.S. adults has fallen to 33 percent, with 66 percent disapproving, the lowest of his first term. Among likely voters, approval stands at 38 percent. Democrats now hold a clear lead in the fight for control of the House and, for the first time in more than a decade, are seen as more trusted to handle the economy. Voters prefer a Democratic-led Congress as a check on Trump over a Republican one supporting his agenda by 58 percent to 39 percent, while 72 percent say the country is heading in the wrong direction. Inflation, gasoline prices and the Iran war are major threats to Republicans, whose campaign money advantage is now shifting to protect candidates in redder areas.

A Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll conducted Oct. 9–13 found that 33% of Americans approve of Trump's job performance and 66% disapprove, a record low two weeks before the Nov. 3 midterms. His approval is down four points from July and eight from a year ago, and only 28% approve of his handling of the economy, with roughly 3 in 4 disapproving of how he has managed inflation and the cost of living. For the first time in over 10 years, Americans trust Democrats more than Republicans on the economy, and Democrats hold an eight-point lead for controlling the House. Republicans hold a 53-47 Senate majority, so Democrats would need to flip at least two seats in states Trump won by double digits in 2024, while also holding Georgia and Michigan.
