Summary

  • 33% of voters approve of Donald Trump in a new Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll, a record low with 66% disapproving and just over half saying they disapprove strongly.
  • Two weeks before Election Day, the same poll shows Democratic support rising in the fight for control of Congress as inflation pressures deepen voter anger.
  • Republicans now face a sharply worse political environment, with the latest survey reinforcing broader signs of discontent after another poll put Trump's approval at 34% and found 71% of adults saying the country is on the wrong track.
