Polls Show Record Anti-Trump Sentiment as Democrats Widen Midterm Lead
With less than six weeks until the November midterms, multiple polls indicate a significant shift in voter sentiment against President Donald Trump. A Marist University survey found that 45% of registered voters view their upcoming vote primarily as a rejection of the president, while an NBC News poll reported a record 43% of voters seeking to send a signal of opposition. This anti-Trump sentiment coincides with a widening Democratic lead in generic congressional ballots, with Democrats holding a 12-point advantage in the Marist poll. Trump’s approval rating has dipped to 39% in the latest Marist data, though other surveys show lower figures, reflecting a hardened electorate that is increasingly focused on economic costs and foreign policy mismanagement.
