距離11月初期中選舉僅剩2週,選民對川普處理經濟與中東衝突的表現感到不滿。
川普17日在肯塔基州為期中選舉共和黨候選人站台催票。
《華盛頓郵報》18日報導,根據最新的「華盛頓郵報-美國廣播公司新聞-益普索」(Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos)民調,美國總統川普的支持率跌至新低的33%,不支持率66%,而且過半表示「強烈反對」川普。在此同時,民主黨的期中選舉選情看漲,支持率持續上升。
值此距離11月初投票的期中選舉只剩2週之際,力保國會參眾兩院主控權的共和黨選情黯淡;川普雖非期中選舉的候選人,但卻是共和黨陷於苦戰的關鍵。華郵說,最新民調的綜合結果顯示,選民對川普失去信心,對川普決定發動對伊朗開戰深感擔憂,以及承受中東衝突帶來的經濟影響,特別是汽油價格上漲,以致如今更看好讓民主黨來處理重大問題。
隨通膨壓力而被放大的選民的不滿情緒,導致川普支持率跌至新低的33%,比7月民調低4個百分點,以及比去年同期民調低8個百分點。在此同時,川普的不支持率從今年2月下旬美伊開戰前的53%,一路升至目前的66%,而且其中超過半數(52%)表示「強烈反對」(disapprove strongly)川普。
至於在可能去投票的選民中,川普的支持率為38%,不支持率為62%。這項民調是在10月9日到13日之間進行,調查對象為2545名美國成年人,誤差正負2個百分點。
在可能變天的國會眾議院選戰中,民主黨在已登記選民與可能去投票選民中,領先共和黨8個百分點,高於華郵7月民調時的領先3個百分點。此外,最新民調還發現,民主黨在十多年來首度被選民認為更被信賴去處理經濟問題。
