Trump's disapproval rating increases slightly, poll says
LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) — A new Emerson College Polling of U.S. voters finds that President Donald Trump's disapproval rating has increased since April.
According to the poll, 45% of U.S. voters approved of the Trump Administration's policies, and 46% disapproved.
Trump's approval remained at 45%, while his disapproval increased from 45% to 46%.
Emerson College reports that 52% of voters say things in the United States are generally on the wrong track, while 48% think things are headed in the right direction.
On the generic 2026 congressional ballot, 43% of voters plan to support the Democratic candidate, while 40% support the Republican candidate. Eighteen percent are undecided.
'Looking ahead to next year's Midterm Election, the Democrats have a slight edge over the Republicans, with independents breaking for the Democratic candidate 37% to 27%,' said Spencer Kimball, Executive Director of Emerson College Polling, in a news release sent to 6 News. 'However, a significant 36% of independents are undecided, so this number is expected to shift.'
