Poll: Americans are anxious, pessimistic and deeply unhappy with Trump ahead of the midterms

Weeks ahead of Election Day, 71% of U.S. adults think the country is on the “wrong track.” It’s the highest share yet in President Donald Trump’s second term, illustrating the grim national mood his party faces in the midterm elections, according to a new NBC News Decision Desk Poll powered by SurveyMonkey.
Trump’s approval rating slipped to 34% among U.S. adults, a second-term low in this poll, while his disapproval rating rose to 66%. In another warning sign, the poll found a majority (51%) of respondents “strongly disapprove” of his performance, a second-term high.
