Dems lead GOP in House vote choice as Trump's approval rating hits record low: Poll
Half or more Americans call every household purchase category measured "unaffordable."
A recent ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll reveals that Democrats hold a 8-point lead over Republicans in generic House vote choice, with 52% favoring Democrats and 44% supporting Republicans. This 8-point margin remains consistent among registered voters, up from the 3-point gap seen in a July poll. The poll also indicates that 7 out of 10 Americans disapprove of President Donald Trump, marking a record low for his approval rating.
Notably, 66% of Americans believe the nation's economy is headed in the wrong direction, with 48% stating they are "not as well off" as they were when Trump assumed office. Additionally, 75% of Americans view at least one aspect of their personal finances as unaffordable, ranging from gasoline to groceries. Trump's approval ratings, particularly on handling the economy and inflation, are at record lows, with 23% approving of his economic handling and 75% disapproving.
In contrast, a majority of Democrats approve of their party's candidates, while over 9 out of 10 Republicans plan to vote for their party's candidates.
