Trump Approval Lowest for Any President Pre-Midterms Since 1990: WSJ Poll
Trump's approval rating hit a new low in a WSJ poll as Republicans grow increasingly worried ahead of the midterms.
President Donald Trump's approval rating has plummeted to 37%, marking the lowest recorded standing for any president heading into a midterm election according to the Wall Street Journal's polling data since 1990. A recent survey of 1,500 registered voters, conducted between September 16 and 21, revealed that 61% disapprove of Trump's job performance.
The poll also indicated that a significant portion of Trump's electorate is disillusioned, with 11% of those who voted for him in the 2024 election expressing regret over their decision. Among Republicans who do not identify as MAGA supporters, 11% plan to vote for a Democratic congressional candidate in the upcoming midterm elections.
This data, coupled with widespread economic pessimism and declining approval ratings across multiple polls, paints a picture of Trump's weakening political standing as the midterms approach.
