President Donald Trump is on a 32-day blitz of rallies ahead of November 3 U.S. midterm elections that so far has taken him to ruby-red territory such as Oklahoma and Alabama. His Monday evening's stop, Grand Island, is located in Nebraska’s solidly conservative south-central region. Across the country, voters are frustrated with Trump’s handling of the economy, including persistently high costs for fuel and groceries. It’s a major issue for rural voters who have backed the president and his party in recent elections. But so far on the campaign trail, Trump has dismissed those economic concerns.
However, Trump's approval rating held at a record low in recent days, as many Hispanic voters panned his job performance and planned to spurn his Republican Party in next month's midterm elections, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll completed on Monday.
