A Reuters/Ipsos survey released on 2 November puts approval of Donald Trump’s job performance at 32 per cent. Among likely voters, Democrats lead Republicans on the generic congressional ballot. The poll covers 1,765 adults and was completed before election day; national preferences supply neither district results nor a congressional seat forecast.
US President Donald Trump’s job approval stands at 32 per cent in the Reuters/Ipsos survey released on 2 November. Ipsos published the findings after fieldwork running from 29 October to 2 November. The survey was completed before the congressional elections on 3 November, in which Trump himself is not a candidate.[1], [2]
In the Ipsos survey, among likely voters, 52 per cent said they would vote for or lean towards a Democratic congressional candidate in their district, compared with 44 per cent for a Republican. The question asked about party preference rather than a contest between named local candidates. Its likely-voter group also differs from the adult sample used for presidential approval. National party preferences provide no district-by-district result or allocation of congressional seats.[1]
Ipsos surveyed 1,765 adults aged 18 or older through KnowledgePanel, its probability-based participant panel, and conducted the study in English. Results were weighted for demographic characteristics, income, 2024 vote choice and party identification. For the full adult sample, the margin of sampling error is plus or minus 2.4 percentage points at 95 per cent confidence. Ipsos says subgroup margins are larger and vary. It rounds published percentages to whole numbers.[1]
