Trump's approval rating reaches new low despite midterm campaign push

President Donald Trump's approval rating has fallen to a new low ahead of the midterm elections, with voters expressing widespread dissatisfaction with his handling of the economy, rising gas prices, and the war in Iran.

Just 36% of likely voters approve of Trump's job performance, compared with 59% who disapprove, according to a New York Times/Siena poll released Wednesday, marking the lowest approval rating for Trump according to the outlet's polling. Democrats hold an 11-point advantage over Republicans in congressional preferences, giving the party fresh momentum as it seeks to reclaim control of Congress.
