WSJ poll puts Trump at 37 percent approval ahead of midterms

Original: The Wall Street Journal's new poll has Trump at 37 percent approval — the lowest of any president that close to a midter

A new Wall Street Journal poll puts President Trump's approval rating at 37 percent, the lowest for any president at a comparable point before a midterm election since the Journal's polling began under George H.W. Bush. The only close comparison is George W. Bush, who stood at 39 percent. Commenters are framing the number as a warning sign for Republicans heading into the midterms.

Why now: The unusually low approval rating so close to a midterm election is being read as a signal of trouble for the president's party.
