Okay, so a poll among the self-identified Hispanic community says more of them think their economic situation has worsened rather than improved.

Meanwhile though, Trump's approval rating is stable at 43%, still somewhat above the lowest point of his first term, and the GOP still has a 10-point lead over the Democrats in favourability. Polls for the midterms predict a close race with a small edge for Democrats.

I think the favouribility rating on Dems is misleading.

Trump is unfavorable because he's destroying the country, but many of us aren't happy with Dems because they aren't stopping him.

We'll still vote for Democrats because they aren't fascists, but I agree that we shouldn't be happy with what ANYBODY in Congress is doing right now.

Trump has a 43% approval rating despite destroying the country.

Macron's approval rating is around 25-30%. Merz' is just over 20%. Starmer's is around 45%.
