Democrats are clearly motivated ahead of the 2026 midterm elections despite having mixed feelings about the party’s leadership, a new CNN poll, conducted by SSRS and released Sunday, found. This comes as Trump’s approval rating remains underwater about one year into his second term in office.

Trump has a 45% approval rating in the latest poll released Tuesday.

Latest numbers show the MAGA administration’s performance on healthcare is doing little to drum up support ahead of November’s crucial elections.

A 64% majority think Trump has not done enough to reduce the price of goods, and 32% say that he understands problems that ordinary Americans face on a daily basis, the poll revealed. Overall, slightly over 4 in 10 Americans expect the economy to be good a year from now, which is down from 56% before Trump was sworn into office last January.

Trump's approval rating average sits at 42% as Republicans face significant midterm challenges, with polling showing erosion among Independents and on key issues.

An AP-NORC poll from January found that about 4 in 10 U.S. adults approve of Trump’s performance as president.

A new CBS News poll shows only 41% of Americans approve of the job President Trump is doing, but there are wide partisan divides on his handling of specific issues like immigration. Willie James Inman has more.

Donald Trump’s floor is his ceiling. And his ceiling is his floor. That is the stark takeaway from a new Associated Press-NORC poll showing his approval rating stuck at roughly 40 percent — flatlining across every major issue.
