Donald Trump approval ratings down due to cost of living, Democrats pin hope on military veterans to upset Republicans in US midterm elections

About 8 in 10 voters overall say the economy or the cost of living is among their top issues for the upcoming election, while about two-thirds say this about healthcare and the war in Iran.

Poll survey finds that registered voters who identify as Democrats are more enthusiastic than Republican voters about casting a ballot. More voters want Democrats to win control of Congress and have a more negative view of Republicans.
