Donald Trump's approval rating dropped to a critical 32–33% ahead of the U.S. congressional elections. He made several mistakes at once that undermined his standing.

Bogdan Popov, an expert at the "United Ukraine" think tank, spoke about this on 24 Channel. According to him, representatives of the radical right-wing populist MAGA movement are losing voter support, putting the Republican Party at risk of losing control of both chambers of Congress.

Trump has made many mistakes

As Popov emphasized, in domestic policy, Trump has outraged the public with the harsh actions of ICE, which, instead of carrying out orderly deportations, is expelling even legal Latino immigrants who have worked and paid taxes. In addition, his promises to halt rising fuel and food prices have failed.

Failures are also evident in foreign affairs. Promises to end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours or 100 days resulted in an escalation, and the military campaign in Iran led only to the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and rising gas prices at U.S. gas stations.

He has failed in both domestic and, in effect, foreign policy. As a result, his approval ratings are now at their lowest point during either of his two terms. This creates major political problems. In fact, the results of the congressional elections will be a “reflection” of Trump’s performancePopov said.
