New York – Agencies: A Reuters/Ipsos poll completed on Monday, the last before yesterday’s midterm elections, showed that U.S. President Donald Trump’s approval ratings remained near their all-time low. A wide segment of American voters viewed their midterm congressional ballots as a means of opposing the Republican president. The five-day nationwide poll indicated that the race between Democrats and Republicans could tighten ahead of Election Day. About 46% of registered voters in the poll said they would vote for Democrats in the congressional elections, compared with 38% who chose Republicans. This eight-point Democratic lead was smaller than the 11-point margin Democrats held in the Reuters/Ipsos poll two weeks earlier. Among registered voters, about 50% of independents said they viewed their congressional vote as “a vote against Trump,” compared with 13% who said it was a vote in his favor.
