NEW POLL: Democrats GROW to 5-POINT Lead on Generic Ballot Ahead of Midterms

Donald Trump is underwater on EVERY major issue, from cost of living to immigration

With six months to go until the November midterm elections, Donald Trump is severely underwater with the American people on every major issue animating the electorate, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll.

Just 37% of Americans – and 25% of Independents – approve of Donald Trump. 

On issues voters repeatedly say are most important to them, Trump is underwater by a staggering level: 

  • Cost of living: 23% approve; 76% disapprove 
  • Inflation: 27% approve; 72% disapprove
  • Situation with Iran: 33% approve; 66% disapprove 
  • The economy: 34% approve; 65% disapprove 
  • Immigration: 40% approve; 59% disapprove 

Despite these terrible ratings, vulnerable House Republicans in swing-districts continue to bear hug the President and his dangerous policies that are making life more unaffordable for the American people. As a result of Trump’s reckless war of choice in Iran, gas prices reached $4.45 nationally over the weekend.

Meanwhile, Democrats have taken a commanding lead on the generic ballot, up 5 points on Republicans, 49% to 44%. 

DCCC Spokesperson Justin Chermol: 
“House Republicans are walking the plank in full support of Donald Trump’s disastrous agenda. They are going down in November.”
