[With midterm elections approaching, Trump's approval rating rebounds, but Democrats maintain lead] According to BlockBeats, a Reuters/Ipsos poll released Monday, October 27, showed Trump's public approval rating rising to 32%, up one percentage point from the previous week. In the "generalized congressional vote" poll, 47% of registered voters indicated they would vote for the Democrats, 36% for the Republicans, and 11% were undecided. The gap between the two parties is 11 percentage points, narrowing by one percentage point from the previous similar poll that concluded on October 19. Therefore, the Republicans still face a battle for control of Congress: losing a majority in either the House or the Senate would present Trump with greater obstacles in advancing his policy agenda during the final two years of his second presidential term. National generalized vote polls reflect voters' overall preference for control of Congress, but do not directly reflect the specific competition in individual states and districts. Political analysts generally believe that Democrats have a chance to win control of the House of Representatives, but face a greater challenge in taking the Senate; Republicans still have a structural advantage in some districts.
