Rockford, IL, October 15, 2026 —
An AP-NORC poll indicates that a strong majority of voters believe President Trump is underperforming in both domestic and international affairs and want significant change in the upcoming midterm elections.
The poll’s findings, as described, cover voters’ assessments of the president’s performance at home and abroad, as well as their stated desire for change in the midterms. The information available does not specify what changes respondents favor or which issues most influenced their views.
The summary of the poll does not provide the percentage of voters who expressed these opinions, the number of people surveyed, when the poll was conducted, or how respondents were selected. It also does not give results by party affiliation or other demographic groups. Those details would be needed to assess the size and distribution of the views more precisely.
The findings point to dissatisfaction across two broad areas of presidential performance and an appetite for change at the next midterm elections. However, the information provided does not indicate how voters intend to cast their ballots, identify particular candidates or policies, or establish what electoral outcomes may follow.
AP-NORC’s full poll results and methodology were not included in the information provided. Without those details, the poll’s specific figures and the questions used to measure voters’ views cannot be reported.
