Odaily Report: With two weeks to go until US midterm election day, Republicans face a grim political landscape. According to a poll jointly conducted by The Washington Post, ABC News, and Ipsos, US President Trump's approval rating has fallen to a new low, while Democrats are gaining ground in the fight for congressional control as inflationary pressures mount and voter dissatisfaction grows. Trump's approval rating currently stands at 33%, with a disapproval rating of 66%; among them, 52% of respondents said they strongly disapprove of his performance. This approval rating is down 8 percentage points from the same period last year and lower than at any point during his first term. The poll also found that, for the first time in more than a decade, Democrats have earned higher voter trust than Republicans on economic governance. The overall results of the new poll show that American voters have lost confidence in the president, are deeply concerned about Trump's decision to launch a war against Iran, and are bearing the economic impact of the war, especially the toll of rising gasoline prices on household finances.
