"New data signals trouble for Republicans in this year's midterm elections, given President Donald Trump's low approval rating currently in many of their districts as he wages an unpopular war on Iran."
"According to Morris, there are 135 seats in Congress at the moment - 104 in the House and 31 Senate seats - that are held by Republicans in districts where Trump's approval rating is below 50 percent."
"Indeed, 48 of those seats are in jurisdictions where Trump's approval rating is 40 percent or lower, and of those seats, 21 are in districts where Trump's approval rating is 35 percent or lower."
Trump's approval ratings are significantly low, particularly in Republican-held districts, as he engages in an unpopular war against Iran. Polling data indicates that many Republican seats are at risk, with 135 congressional seats held by Republicans showing Trump's approval below 50 percent. Specifically, 48 of these seats have approval ratings at 40 percent or lower, and 21 are at 35 percent or lower. This situation poses a challenge for Republicans as midterm elections typically favor the opposing party when the president's popularity declines.
