Trump’s approval rating has plummeted to historic lows, polls show
With the midterms less than two weeks away, multiple polls indicate President Trump’s approval rating has plummeted to historic lows.
A Reuters-Ipsos survey released on October 19 put the president’s approval rating at just 31 percent — the lowest recorded across either of his two terms.
A separate New York Times/Siena College poll released the same week put his approval rating at 34 percent, which the newspaper said was the lowest for a president approaching midterm elections since Harry Truman’s 33 percent in 1946.
Trump, 80, has dismissed these figures as “fake,” while insisting his real approval rating is around 60 percent.
Polls for the broader Republican Party are similarly bleak, indicating the GOP could face severe losses in the upcoming midterm elections as voters express frustration over the cost of living and the Iran war.

Trump’s midterm rallies have been filled with gaffes and odd remarks
At midterm rallies over the past month, President Donald Trump has made a number of gaffes and odd remarks.
During at least four recent rallies, Trump has marveled at Ohio Senator John Husted’s behind, declaring in Kentucky on October 17, “I examined his a**.”
He gave the same treatment to Nicki Minaj one week later in Michigan, stating that the pro-Trump rapper has “one hell of a beautiful a**.”
He’s also confused the names of two prizes he did not win, stumbled over investment figures and appeared to forget the name of Lake Ontario, which he ordered federal agencies to call “Lake America.”
At the same time, Trump has made several strange outbursts that triggered social media scrutiny over his fitness for office. The White House has said the 80-year-old president remains in “excellent health.”

Multiple midterm rallies have been interrupted by protestors and hecklers
A number of the president’s midterm rallies over the past month have been interrupted by protestors and hecklers.
During an October 12 event in Ohio, a woman stood up wearing a shirt that said: “Release the Epstein Files.” She was subsequently pummeled by MAGA supporters as the president joked about her weight, calling her a “fat guy.”
In Kansas on October 19, Trump was interrupted by several demonstrators — right after he took the stage, as he bragged about winning the red state “three times.”
And in Mississippi on October 26, a heckler shouted at Trump to “shove that ballroom up your fat a**.” Trump paused as the man hurled his insult before snapping: “Oh, go home. Go home. Go home.”
The president has repeatedly suggested that protestors at his rallies are paid agitators.
