[Poll: Trump's Approval Rating Drags Down Republicans, 26% of Supporters Call for Separation] BlockBeats News, October 10 – According to reports from *The Hill* and *Politico*, a poll conducted by PF Global in early October revealed that 26% of Trump 2024 supporters believe that Republican candidates in their districts would have a better chance of winning the November midterm elections if they distanced themselves from Trump. The survey covered 2,001 respondents, with a margin of error of 2.2 percentage points. On specific policy issues, 57% of respondents think the Republican Party should break with Trump on the issue of the Iran war, 61% believe they should distance themselves from him on economic issues, and 67% think they should adopt a different stance on immigration and border control. The poll also showed that 44% of respondents feel their personal economic situation has worsened or significantly worsened since Trump took office last year; 59% said that everyday expenses such as groceries and gasoline have become harder to afford, including 40% of Trump 2024 supporters. When asked who should be credited if Republicans successfully retain a majority in both chambers of Congress in November, only 22% of respondents attributed it to Trump's presidential performance, 29% pointed to poor Democratic campaign performance, 23% credited strong Republican campaign efforts, and 26% were uncertain. As economic burdens and Trump's approval ratings become focal points of the election, Republicans are facing increased competition in some seats previously considered relatively secure.
