Trump’s approval ratings hit a new low, Democrats want US president to campaign more

And as we hit pretty much the last stretch before the U.S. midterm elections, this U.S. midterm campaign that is underway, the challenge for the Republicans basically is getting tougher. Amid U.S. President Donald Trump's campaign blitz, his approval rating has hit a whole new low. And according to the CNN SRSS poll, which surveyed nearly 1,700 adults from October 15 to 18, his approval rating dipped to 32%. And this, by the way, is seven points lower than his approval rating just before the 2018 midterms during his first presidency. That's for context. Not just that, 49 percent of the respondents hinted at voting for the Democrats as against 39 percent who reposed faith in the Republicans. The opinion poll highlighting a strong lead for Democrats among black and Latino voters, as well as women and younger adults. Cost of living concerns remain the most important issue for voters. And what's worrying for the U.S. president, though, is a possible erosion in his own voter base. For instance, nearly four in 10 Republican-aligned adults younger than 45 disapprove of Donald Trump. That's an interesting takeaway. Also, 13 percent of the respondents revealing that they have already cast their vote. Among this group, 70% claim to have voted for the Democrats. And as far as those who are yet to vote are concerned, 46% reportedly favor Democrats. Amid all of this, speculation is abuzz that Democrats want Trump to campaign more as they believe that it could help them electorally. With Trump openly urging people to vote, assuming that he is on the ballot, his rivals are also pushing this case. According to an analysis by Associated Press, ads run by Democrats across platforms since September 1 refer to Trump 180,000 times and they have spent over 163 million U.S. dollars on such ads. As compared to this, Republican ads talk about the president just 16,000 times in the same time period, 16,000. And much of the Democrat ads, by the way, accused Republican candidates of backing Trump on issues like tariffs and the Iran war. But what exactly does this strategy indicate? According to some experts, Democrats want this election to be a referendum for Trump. They want to equate a vote for a Republican candidate to a vote for Trump, basically. Meanwhile, chaos marred a Republican rally. This was in South Carolina, where Trump was campaigning for the late Lindsey Graham's sister. Some people repeatedly interrupted Trump. A protester was even punched in the face reportedly and knocked to the ground by Trump supporters. Amid that chaos, Trump called them paid protesters. Take a look. Paid protesters. It's unbelievable. Unbelievable. They'll do whatever they can to win. They get $250 for that and they screw up their lives.
