  "account": "President Donald Trump's approval rating has remained relatively stable during the final month before the midterm elections, according to a Newsweek analysis of four national polling trackers. However, his approval remains significantly lower than it was at the beginning of the year, placing Republicans under pressure as they seek to retain control of Congress. On October 1, his net approval rating was -26 points, and by October 29, it had slipped to -27 points. Midterm elections have historically been difficult for the party controlling the White House, placing Republican candidates under significant pressure as voters deliver their verdict on the opening two years of Trump's second term.",
