# With congressional elections less than three weeks away, US President Donald Trump’s approval rating has fallen to a record low of 31-percent. According to a new Reuters-Ipsos poll, only 35-percent of registered voters say they would vote Republican, compared with 47-percent who favour the Democrats. Rising petrol prices and concerns about the economy are contributing to growing dissatisfaction with Trump’s performance. The November third elections will determine control of Congress and a Democrat victory would make it harder for Trump to push through his political agenda.
