Overview
- A Reuters/Ipsos online poll that concluded Monday found 31% of U.S. adults approve of President Donald Trump and 66% disapprove.
- The survey of 1,679 adults has a reported margin of error of ±2 percentage points and included 1,279 registered voters.
- Sixty-eight percent disapprove of Trump's handling of economic policy, a six-point rise since Oct. 5 and the weakest reading in the Reuters/Ipsos series.
- On the generic ballot, which asks voters which party they would choose for Congress today, registered voters favored Democrats 47% to 35%, a 12-point lead for Democrats.
- Polling aggregators translated those numbers into strong odds for Democrats to win majorities, but national leads do not remove state-by-state and district-level uncertainty ahead of the Nov. 3 midterms.
