President Trump's Coalition Frays

A New York Times/SienaSiena Universityuniversity in New York, US poll found that 36% of likely voters approved of President Donald Trump’s performance, while 59% disapproved. Likely voters favored Democratic congressional candidates over Republicans by 11 points in their districts. The survey landed less than two weeks before the November 3 midterm elections, with Republicans trying to keep control of Congress. Discontent reached beyond Trump’s opponents, including some men, younger voters and Hispanic voters who helped elect him in 2024. Voters focused on economic conditions, with about three-quarters rating the economy fair or poor. Democrats still faced difficult Senate contests in Republican-leaning states.
