The Report: facts and sourcing
President Donald Trump's approval rating has fallen to 33%, a record low in ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos polling, with 66% disapproving, ABC News reported Sunday. The poll was conducted Oct. 9-13, about three weeks before the Nov. 3 midterm elections. Among likely voters, 52% said they would vote for the Democratic candidate for the House and 44% for the Republican.
Seventy-one percent said gasoline is unaffordable, up from 28% in February. ABC noted gas prices have topped $4 a gallon for a record 158 days. Sixty-five percent said health care is unaffordable and 60% said the same about groceries.
Seventy-two percent said the country is headed in the wrong direction, and 48% said they are not as well off financially as they were when Trump took office.
