AP-NORC Poll Finds Broad Voter Dissatisfaction With Trump
A new AP-NORC poll reveals that a strong majority of voters believe President Trump is failing at home and abroad, suggesting a desire for significant change in the upcoming midterm elections and indicating serious warning signs for the Republican Party.

Springfield, MO, October 15, 2026 —
A new AP-NORC poll finds that a strong majority of voters believe President Trump is failing at home and abroad, a result that points to dissatisfaction with his performance and may pose a challenge for Republicans in the upcoming midterm elections.
The poll’s findings also suggest voters want significant change in the midterms. The available information does not specify what changes voters are seeking, or which domestic and international issues shaped their assessments of the president.
The results are described as serious warning signs for the Republican Party. They indicate a potential political vulnerability heading into the elections, though the summary does not provide details about how voters’ views might affect specific races or candidates.
The information provided does not include the poll’s field dates, sample size, margin of error, question wording or detailed percentages. It also does not identify which voters were surveyed beyond describing them as voters. Those details would be needed to assess the findings’ scope and precision.
Without those figures, the poll can be characterized only at a broad level: a strong majority surveyed believe Trump is failing both domestically and abroad, and the results suggest an appetite for change in the coming midterms. The findings offer a warning for Republicans, but the information available does not establish how that sentiment will translate into election outcomes.
