The countdown to the November 3, 2026, US midterm elections is intensifying, with President Donald Trump’s leadership and Republican control of Congress facing a crucial electoral test. Rising fuel prices, the cost of living, immigration enforcement and growing voter frustration have become central issues as Democrats seek to gain ground across the country. Recent polling points to a challenging political climate for Republicans. A Reuters/Ipsos poll published on October 26 showed Trump’s approval rating at 32%, while Democrats led Republicans 47% to 36% on the national congressional ballot among registered voters. The figures suggest Democratic momentum, but national polling does not determine the outcome of individual House districts or Senate races. n18oc_breaking-newsn18oc_world News18 Mobile App - https://onelink.to/desc-youtube
