U.S. President Donald Trump’s popularity has increased by 1 percent, reaching 32 percent. Ahead of the November 3 midterm elections, among registered voters, 47 percent have chosen the Democratic Party while 36 percent prefer the Republican Party. According to a Reuters/Ipsos survey, 73 percent of voters believe the cost of living is headed in the wrong direction, highlighting inflation as the primary concern.
Kathmandu, November 10 – The approval rating of U.S. President Donald Trump rose by 1 percent from last week’s historic low to 32 percent, according to a Reuters/Ipsos survey conducted ahead of the November 3 midterm elections.
The survey, conducted on Monday, shows that among registered voters asked which party they prefer to control the U.S. Congress, 47 percent support the Democratic Party, while 36 percent favor the Republican Party. Meanwhile, 11 percent of voters remain undecided. Compared to an October 19 survey, the Democratic Party’s lead has decreased by 1 percent.
When including undecided voters, support stands at 50 percent for the Democrats and 41 percent for the Republicans, giving the Democratic Party a 9 percent lead. The November 3 midterm elections will determine which party controls both chambers of the U.S. Congress—the House of Representatives and the Senate.
Currently, the Republican Party is struggling to maintain majorities in both chambers. Losing control of either chamber could hinder President Trump’s ability to implement his policies during the remaining two years of his term, analysts suggest.
