Two Months Before Midterm Elections, Donald Trump's Popularity Hits New Low

The U.S. midterm elections are set to begin on November 3, following the tradition held every four years. This election, historically unfavorable to the sitting president, is shaping up to be particularly challenging for Donald Trump, whose approval ratings have reached their lowest level to date, according to polls reported by France 24.

According to these opinion surveys, the economy ranks as the top concern for American voters as they approach the vote. The trade war launched with Canada is presented as a factor likely to influence voters' choices in this election.

Midterm elections traditionally allow for the complete renewal of the House of Representatives as well as part of the Senate. They are often viewed as a popularity test for the sitting administration, with parties in power typically losing seats in these midterm contests.

France 24 notes that this historical trend, combined with the measurable decline in popularity shown in the polls, puts Donald Trump in a precarious position heading into the November vote.
