Trump approval hits new lows in NYT/Siena and CNN polls before midterms
Two new polls, from the New York Times/Siena College and CNN, show President Trump's approval at new lows about two weeks before the midterms, with the Times/Siena poll putting it at 36%.
President Trump's approval rating has reached new lows in two fresh polls, one from the New York Times/Siena College and one from CNN, The Hill reports. The midterm elections are about two weeks away.
In the Times/Siena poll, 36% of likely voters approve of Trump's job performance and 59% disapprove. The Guardian and The Hill both report those figures. The Guardian says 36% is the lowest the Times/Siena poll has recorded for him.
The Times reports that Democratic candidates led Republicans by 11 percentage points among likely voters, measured in each voter's own congressional district. The Guardian reports that 52% of respondents said they plan to vote for the Democratic candidate.
The Guardian says the October survey covered about 3,494 likely voters. It says most respondents were frustrated with Trump's handling of the economy, the cost of living and the Iran war.
