It highlighted that the 32% approval was only one percentage point higher than his 31% career low. The report also noted the Republican Party's performance in the midterms, stating Democrats were set to hold their biggest House majority since 2008 and were positioned to flip Senate seats. USA Today quoted figures on approval for Trump's management of the cost of living (21%) and the economy (25%), and mentioned other polling averages from Economist/YouGov, The New York Times, and Silver Bulletin. ### Centre - The centre-rated reports from Investing.com, The Lufkin News, Reuters, and The Detroit News all focused on President Trump's approval rating holding at 32%, near the lowest of his career, as found by the Reuters/Ipsos poll. They consistently mentioned that this rating was depressed by national concerns over rising prices that impacted the Republican Party in the recent midterm elections. These digests attributed the information to Reuters. ### Right - The right-rated reports from regionalmedianews.com, The Star Kuala Lumpur, Cyprus Mail, and The Straits Times led with President Trump's approval rating holding at 32%, near the lowest of his career, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll. They stated the rating was depressed by national concerns over rising prices that tanked his Republican Party in last week's midterm elections.
