Fox News poll shows Trump approval low as Democrats lead House ballot

Key Points:

• The latest Fox News Poll indicates widespread voter dissatisfaction, with President Trump’s approval rating near a record low at 39%, and 4 in 10 voters desiring "dramatic" or "revolutionary" change, favoring Democrats in the upcoming November elections.
• Democrats lead Republicans on key issues such as income inequality (+22 points), healthcare (+21), inflation (+10), and the economy (+9), while Republicans hold a slight advantage on crime (+7); notably, Democrats have gained a slight edge on immigration since April.
• Voter motivation is higher among Democrats (68%) compared to Republicans (57%), with MAGA Republicans significantly more motivated (66%) than non-MAGA Republicans (41%).
• On the generic House ballot, Democrats hold a 7-point lead (53% to 46%), the highest since 1996, especially strong in competitive counties, though GOP strategists suggest Republicans could retain the House unless Democrats win by a large margin nationally.
• There is broad disillusionment with both parties and the political system, with many voters perceiving both as tied to elites, feeling betrayed by their parties, and supporting significant changes including a mandatory retirement age for Congress members; favorable views of capitalism have declined while socialism’s favorability has slightly increased.
