Democrats are clearly motivated ahead of the 2026 midterm elections despite having mixed feelings about the party’s leadership, a new CNN poll, conducted by SSRS and released Sunday, found. This comes as Trump’s approval rating remains underwater about one year into his second term in office.

The New York Times/Siena College poll, released Thursday, showed Trump with an overall approval rating of 40% and a disapproval rating of 56%.

According to Rasmussen Reports daily polling on Jan. 20, Trump's approval is at 45%, slightly up from his recent all-time low of 43% on Dec. 3-4. The Economist/YouGov poll taken Jan. 16-19, found a 41% job approval rating versus 56% that disapprove.

A 64% majority think Trump has not done enough to reduce the price of goods, and 32% say that he understands problems that ordinary Americans face on a daily basis, the poll revealed. Overall, slightly over 4 in 10 Americans expect the economy to be good a year from now, which is down from 56% before Trump was sworn into office last January.

President Donald Trump has erased the gains he made with voters during the 2024 election, according to The New York Times.

Trump's approval rating average sits at 42% as Republicans face significant midterm challenges, with polling showing erosion among Independents and on key issues.
