US midterm polls 2026: US President Donald Trump is steadily losing trust among American voters, with a strong majority believing Trump is falling short on major domestic and foreign policy issues and want significant change in the upcoming midterm elections. The findings of a new AP-NORC poll point to a difficult political environment for Republicans less than four weeks before Election Day, with Democrats holding an advantage in voter enthusiasm and preferences for control of Congress.
The survey by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found Democratic voters are more enthusiastic about casting their ballots than Republicans. More registered voters also want Democrats to control Congress, while Republicans face higher negative ratings.
