The president’s current job approval rating of 41% from the Oct. 15-28 poll is well below the 52% average in midterm elections since 1974 and is one of the lowest for a president prior to a midterm election over that time. Trump’s approval rating in the most recent week of Gallup tracking is similar, at 40%.

Congress’ 21% job approval rating is 10 points below the average since 1974. It is similar to the approval ratings for Congress in the 2010 and 2014 midterms.

Americans’ satisfaction with the way things are going in the country, at 33%, is slightly below the 37% average in midterms since 1982. However, it is better than it has been in the past two midterm election years.

Meanwhile, 55% of Americans rate current economic conditions as excellent or good and 12% as poor, for a net rating of +43. That is far better than the average net rating of +10 since 1994 and better than in all recent midterms except 1998.
