A new Reuters/Ipsos poll of registered voters finds Democrats leading Republicans on economic policy for the first time in ten years. The same survey shows President Donald Trump's approval rating at 35%, down from 37% last month, and that if congressional elections were held today, Democrats would win by a 5-point margin (42% to 37%).
As The Zioneer reported Monday, the same Reuters/Ipsos poll showed Trump's approval rating falling to 35%. New details from the survey reveal a significant shift: Democrats now hold a 5-point lead over Republicans on economic policy — the first time the party has led on this issue in a decade. The poll also found that in a hypothetical congressional election, Democrats would win 42% to 37%, a 5-point advantage. The findings come amid ongoing public debate over the administration's economic and trade policies, and represent a potential warning sign for Republican prospects in the midterms. The survey was conducted among registered voters only.
