## Summary

Donald Trump’s net approval rating has fallen to its lowest level across his two terms, according to a Morning Consult survey published on the eve of US elections. The figures point to widespread dissatisfaction with his performance and add to concerns that Republicans could lose ground in the midterms.

The poll found that 56 per cent disapproved of Trump’s performance and 41 per cent approved, giving him a net rating of minus 15 points; 46 per cent strongly disapproved, compared with 22 per cent who strongly approved. Democrats led Republicans 50 to 43 per cent in the polling cited, while voters were more likely to prioritise lower prices and housing affordability than to believe Washington was addressing them. In Texas, Democrat James Talarico was seen as a possible challenger for a Senate seat the party has not held since 1988, as some Republicans questioned whether Trump could hurt candidates.
