Trump’s approval rating rebounds to 32%

A new Reuters/Ipsos poll—cited by China News Service on October 27—shows that as the U.S. congressional midterm elections approach on November 3, President Trump’s approval rating has edged up slightly to 32%, rising one percentage point from its historic low recorded the previous week. If the congressional election were held today, 47% of registered voters say they would support the Democratic Party, 36% would back the Republican Party, and roughly 11% remain undecided; the partisan gap stands at 11 percentage points—narrowing by one point compared to the previous Reuters/Ipsos poll, which concluded on October 19. The five-day online survey collected responses from 1,679 U.S. adults, including 1,280 registered voters. The margin of sampling error is ±2 percentage points for all adult respondents and ±3 percentage points for registered voters.
