【Poll: Trump’s approval rating weighs on Republicans, 26%own supporters call for distancing】

According to reports by The Hill and Politico,PF Global in October early conducted a poll showing that 26%of Trump’s 2024-year supporters believe that if a Republican candidate in their district breaks with Trump, the candidate will have a better chance of winning the November midterm elections. The survey covered a total of 2001 respondents, with a margin of error of 2.2 percentage points. On specific policy issues, 57%of respondents believe Republicans should distance themselves from Trump over the Iran war, 61%believe they should keep their distance on economic issues, and 67%believe they should take a different position on immigration and border control. The poll also found that 44%of respondents believe their personal financial situation has deteriorated or sharply deteriorated since Trump took office last year; 59%said everyday expenses such as groceries and gasoline had become less affordable, including 40%of Trump’s 2024-year supporters. When asked whom credit should go to if Republicans successfully retain majorities in both chambers of Congress in the November midterm elections, only 22%of respondents said Trump’s presidential record, 29%said poor Democratic campaign performance, 23%said strong Republican campaigning, while another 26%said they were uncertain. As economic burdens and Trump’s approval rating become focal points of the election, Republicans also face greater competitive pressure in some seats previously viewed as relatively secure.
