WSJ poll puts Trump at 37% approval ahead of midterms
Original: The Wall Street Journal's new poll has Trump at 37 percent approval — the lowest of any president that close to a midter
A new Wall Street Journal poll puts President Trump's approval rating at 37 percent, the lowest for any president at a comparable point before a midterm election since the Journal's polling began under George H.W. Bush. The only comparable figure was George W. Bush's 39 percent. Commenters are treating the number as a warning sign for Trump's party ahead of the midterm elections.
Why now: The unusually low approval rating so close to a midterm election is being read as a signal of trouble for Republicans.
