Poll: Trump underwater on all fronts as Democrats edge ahead in midterms

A new ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll shows Trump at 37% approval (62% disapproval), with broad distrust on economy, inflation, taxes and Iran, and two-thirds saying the country is headed in the wrong direction. Among registered voters, Democrats lead Republicans by 5 points (49% to 44%) for the House, with independents favoring Democratic candidates. Trump’s base remains strong among Republicans, especially MAGA supporters, but independents’ and general public sentiment remain wary of his leadership. Democrats are trusted more on healthcare and education, while Republicans lead on immigration and crime, signaling a polarized electorate heading into the midterms.
