## Key points

- Trump’s net approval rating is minus 15, his lowest in either term.
- Democrats lead Republicans by seven points among likely voters.
- Some Republicans fear election losses could reduce Trump’s influence.

## Summary

A Morning Consult poll found that 56 per cent of voters disapprove of President Donald Trump’s performance, against 41 per cent who approve, giving him a net rating of minus 15, the lowest of either term. The figures come ahead of the midterm elections and coincide with a seven-point Democratic lead among likely voters on the generic congressional ballot, raising concern among Republicans about the party’s prospects.

The poll also found that 46 per cent strongly disapprove of Trump, compared with 22 per cent who strongly approve. Republican confidence in the party’s direction has fallen to 68 per cent, from 82 per cent in early 2025, while voters say the administration is not giving enough attention to prices and housing costs. Some Republican lawmakers privately warn that a poor election result could weaken Trump’s influence, though others expect him to remain a force in the party.
