President Trump’s approval is now at 36%, essentially unchanged from last week (35%). Public approval of Trump’s handling of any of the issues of the day does not significantly exceed his overall approval. As Congress continues to struggle with tax reform, Trump’s approval on his handling of taxation has remained steady at 39%. With healthcare still a top priority among Americans (20%), Trump’s approval on his handling of healthcare reform is only 36%.
As both political parties prepare for the 2018 Midterms, overall approval of Congress is at 22%, half of the approval for individual Representatives (44%). The Democratic party (40%) leads the Republican party (31%) in the Generic Ballot Question. This 9-point lead is essentially unchanged over the last week.
Americans are again split on the next to leave the White House or Executive Branch according to the latest ‘Wh-Exit’ poll. While Rex Tillerson continues to top the list (15%), down nearly 10 points from 3 weeks ago (24% on Oct. 11). He’s closely followed by Jess Sessions, Attorney General (14%) and John F. Kelly, Chief of Staff (10%).
Terrorism (20%) and healthcare (19%) remain the top concerns of Americans. Democrats are most concerned with healthcare (27%) and terrorism (13%), while Republicans’ views have these flipped, with terrorism (29%) top, followed by healthcare (15%). Independents are equally concerned about both healthcare and terrorism (15%).
As he returns from his trip overseas, President Trump’s approval rating is at 37% this week, up two points from last week (35%). As Congress takes on finalizing tax reform plans, congressional approval remains low (19%). However, most Americans have a better perception of their actual representative (46%). Republicans are more likely to approve of Congress as a whole (28%), and their representative (56%), compared to Democrats (12% and 45% respectively). However, when asked how they would vote today if 2018 midterm elections were held today, more Americans choose a Democratic candidate (38%) than a Republican one (31%).
As Americans prepare for political debates around the Thanksgiving dinner table (or prepare to avoid them), two thirds continue to believe the US is on off on the wrong track (63%). While only 24% of Americans believe the US is heading in the right direction, partisan differences are stark with 52% of Republicans saying the country is headed in the right direction compared to 6% of Democrats.
Republicans and Democrats also do not see eye-to-eye on the main problem facing the country. More Democrats (24%) say it is healthcare while more Republicans (20%) say it is terrorism.
President Trump’s approval rating has remained steady, with 36% approving of him, but also is highly partisan. Three quarters of Republicans (75%) approve of the president compared to only 8% of Democrats. His strongest issues include employment and jobs (44%), dealing with ISIS/ISIL (44%) and the economy (42%). While Congress continues to debate tax reform, Trump has struggled to raise his approval on taxation (now at 36%, down from 40% last week).
One in five Americans guess that Jeff Session will be the next to resign or be terminated according to our latest ‘Wh-Exit’ poll.
Ipsos’ Generic Ballot Question for 2018 suggests that Democrats continue to enjoy a sizable advantage, up +9 points from Republicans (37% Democrat vs. 28% Republican). Independents are currently also breaking towards Democrats at 26% Dem vs. 14% Repub (with 16% other and 44% not voting).
With the holidays and President Trump's first major legislative win with Tax Reform, President Trump's approval rating rose to 41% this week, a 6-point increase from last week. Despite the passage of tax reform, just 41% of Americans approve of President Trump's handling of taxation and just a quarter of Americans (25%) approve of Congress as a whole. Americans are much more generous with their individual representatives, with 44% approving of their Congressperson.
Looking ahead to the 2018 midterm elections, a plurality of Americans (38%) report that if the election for U.S. Congress were held today they would vote for the Democratic candidate compared to those who would vote Republican (31%). Independents are split between a Democratic (15%), a Republican (14%) and third-party candidate (18%). Currently, just one-in-ten (11%) Americans report they would not vote.
Healthcare (18%) continues to top the charts of the most important problem facing America today, followed by terrorism (14%) and the economy (13%). Democrats are much more likely to view healthcare (25%) as a major concern, followed distantly by the economy (13%). Republicans view terrorism (22%) as the most important problem, followed by healthcare (13%). Independents are equally concerned with healthcare (16%) and the economy (16%).
Following a bump in approval last week, President Trump’s job approval has dropped back down to pre-Harvey/Irma levels, now at 35% (down from 40% last week). Trump’s numbers have also dropped across all specific policy areas. Notably, as the Republicans begin to broach tax reform, Trump’s approval on the US economy dropped by 5 points from 47% last week to 42%. Despite the drop, Trump still enjoys higher approval than Congress, which is now at 24%.
Healthcare continues to be top of mind for Americans (17%), distantly followed by the economy (12%) and terrorism (12%). Concern about the environment rose one point from 4% last week to 5% this week.
President Trump’s approval rating remains at 37% this week. Trump continues to receive strong support from his Republican base (76%), but very little support from Democrats (11%). Trump’s approval ratings on individual policies remains consistent, with the highest ratings received on the US economy (46%), employment and jobs (48%), and dealing with ISIS/ISIL (46%).
More broadly, healthcare remains the top priority among Americans (22%), with concern especially high among Democrats (28%). Republicans also say healthcare is their top issue (19%), although immigration (16%) has recently increased in importance among this group, up 5 points from last week (in contrast, immigration is seen as less critical among Democrats (6%) and Independents (5%)).
Americans continue to give Congress lackluster approval ratings with only 21% approving of the job Congress is doing. When asked about their representative specifically, Americans are more likely to approve of their individual work (44%). Republicans are the most satisfied with their Congressperson at 58%, but are not impressed with the Congress’ work as a whole (23%).
The past week has seen a notable reshuffle in the issues of most concern to Americans, with concerns about conflict and the economy climbing as healthcare wanes. Specifically, healthcare has dropped six percentage points to 16% of Americans naming it as the “most important problem facing the US today”. Concern about war and foreign conflicts (likely related to recent rhetoric regarding North Korea) both jumped six percentage points this week, tying with the economy – all at 11%.
The last seven days have also seen a marked decline in the proportion of Americans who believe the US is heading in the right direction, down to 24% (3 points down), with three fifths (60%) saying we’re on the wrong track. A significant majority of Independents now believe the US is on the wrong track, up 11 percentage points from last week. Over half of Republicans (52%) still believe we are heading in the right direction, down four percentage points since last week.
President Trump’s approval has dropped slightly and is now at 35% - although it remains significantly higher than Congress’ approval rating of 21%.
Terrorism (20%) and healthcare (19%) remain the top concerns of Americans. Democrats are most concerned with healthcare (27%) and terrorism (13%), while Republicans’ views have these flipped, with terrorism (29%) top, followed by healthcare (15%). Independents are equally concerned about both healthcare and terrorism (15%).

President Trump’s approval has dropped slightly and is now at 35% - although it remains significantly higher than Congress’ approval rating of 21%.
President Trump’s approval rating has plateaued in recent weeks, now at 37% approving and 58% disapproving of the way he is doing his job as President. While these rating naturally fall out along party lines, the data shows just a third of Independents (34%) indicating approval of the President.
Also in line with recent weeks, two thirds of Americans (65%) currently believe the US is on the wrong track and under a quarter (23%) think things are heading in the right direction. When it comes to the most important problems facing the country, 16% say healthcare, closely followed by terrorism (14%) and the economy (11%).
10% of Americans perceive crime as the number one issue facing America, a 4-point increase from the beginning of the year, while President Trump's approval rating remains steady.

With Congressional Republicans on the verge of passing the largest tax reform bill in decades on Wednesday, overall Congressional approval remains low (21%). Self-identified Democrats are particularly disapproving of Congress giving the institution a 16% approval rating. Rank and file Republicans are a little more positive, but even they only give Congress a 30% approval score.
Echoing Congress, President Trump's approval rating also remains near its record low level, this week at 35%. However, Republicans continue to back the President in large numbers, currently at 76% approve.
The broad antipathy to Congress and the President is potentially fueling Democratic disgruntlement to the tune of a 12-percentage point advantage on the 2018 generic Congressional ballot question. Currently, 39% of Americans would vote for a Democrat versus 27% voting for a Republican if the midterms were held today.
Healthcare (17%), terrorism (15%), and the economy (11%) remain the top three issues facing the US today, with party lines continuing to dictate priorities. Nearly a quarter of Democrats (22%) believe healthcare is the most important problem facing the US, while a similar percentage of Republicans (23%) count terrorism as the most important.
Despite the fallout from the summit in Helsinki, President Trump’s overall approval rating remains statistically unchanged, with 42% of Americans and 44% of registered voters approving of his performance as President.
A new Ipsos global study to mark World Refugee Day 2020 finds widespread and increasing agreement among Americans that people should be able to take refuge in other countries, including in the United States, to escape war or persecution. It is a view now held by 72% of U.S. adults, up from 62% a year ago. Globally, public opinion about the right to seek refuge in other countries, including in one’s own, is nearly identical to what it is in the U.S.
Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.
