  "account": "Donald Trump's approval rating has plummeted to 33%, marking its lowest point in CNN polling throughout both of his presidential terms, according to a recent CNN survey conducted by SSRS. The disapproval rate stands at 67%, with 51% of respondents expressing a strong disapproval. Just 13% of those polled indicated a strong approval of Trump's job performance, while 49% of registered voters would back the Democratic candidate in their district, compared to 41% who would support the Republican candidate. Among the most motivated voters, the gap between the parties widened to 20 percentage points. Notably, 44% of respondents indicated their midterm vote would be aimed at expressing opposition to Trump, while 19% wanted to show their support. Independents favored Democratic congressional candidates by 11 points in the survey. The poll, conducted from September 16-17, surveyed 1,206 US adults via online and telephone interviews, with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points. Economic concerns were a significant factor, as just 27% approved of Trump's handling of the economy, while 20% approved of his handling of inflation. This is a stark contrast to September 2018, when Trump's economy approval rating was 22 points higher, and 69% of Americans deemed economic conditions good.",
  "summary": "A new CNN poll finds Donald Trump’s approval at its lowest point in CNN polling across his two terms, with economic dissatisfaction emerging as a major issue weeks before the US midterm elections.",
