A Wall Street Journal poll shows former President Donald Trump's approval rating has fallen to 37%, the lowest midterm rating recorded in the survey's history since 1990. The data indicates a shift among key voter blocs, with 11% of those who supported Trump in 2024 now expressing regret for their vote. Additionally, 11% of non-MAGA Republicans state they intend to back Democratic candidates. These figures have prompted concern among Republicans ahead of the midterm elections, as some candidates reportedly distance themselves from Trump on issues including Iran policy and inflation. In the Texas Senate race, a Democratic candidate currently leads, leading a pro-Republican political action committee to commit up to $200 million to defend the seat.
