Fox News poll shows Trump approval low as Democrats lead House ballot
A recent Fox News poll indicates that President Trump's approval ratings remain low, with voters expressing a strong desire for significant political change. The data suggests Democrats hold a lead in generic House ballot polling, driven by voter motivation and negative economic sentiment across party lines.
Why it matters
These polling trends provide insight into voter sentiment ahead of upcoming elections, highlighting potential shifts in party support and key issues like the economy and healthcare.
Several findings in the latest Fox News Poll show voters are unhappy and want major change, which bodes well for Democrats in November: President Donald Trump’s job approval remains near a record low, more Democrats are motivated to vote, Republicans join Democrats and independents in rating the economy negatively, and 4 in 10 voters want "dramatic" or "revolutionary" change. Plus, more view the GOP as tied to elites than the Democratic Party. Voters say Democrats can better handle income inequality (+22 points), healthcare (+21), inflation (+10), the economy (+9), and foreign policy (+7). Republicans hold the advantage on crime (+7 points), while government spending (Democrats +3) and national security (R +2) are more evenly divided. On immigration, the GOP had an 8-point edge in April. Now, Democrats are preferred by one point.
