    President Donald Trump witnessed forgetful approval ratings leading up to the US midterm elections as the results have captured the mood of American voters towards Republican Party and Democratic Party. As midterm election results offered a decisive mandate to Democrats, it is interesting to whether Trump could manage to improve his approval ratings or not.

    Economist/YouGov conducted the post-poll survey which showed disapproval ratings for President Trump were at 62 per cent after November 3 hotly contested election in United States.

    Trump approval ratings were at 36 per cent, as per Economist/YouGov post-Poll survey, Newsweek reported. Donald Trump's approval rating has fallen seven points since the survey conducted prior to the November 3 midterm elections, as per the report.


    YouGov said the survey field work started following the conclusion of voting in November 4. On November 9, Trump approval rating was at 37.8 per cent, as per Nate Silver's polling average. On November 8, Trump approval rating was 38.8 per cent.

    Midterm elections results don't decide the incumbent President's tenure but have changed political scenario with Democrats securing both the houses of the US Congress - Senate and House of Representatives.

    Democrats won their largest majorities in the Senate and House of Representatives since at least 2008 ​in last week's midterm elections, in a sharp rebuke to Trump's Republicans over high costs and a deeply unpopular war. Democrats will take ​power when the new Congress is sworn in on January 3.

    Earlier this week, Reuters/Ipsos poll found the most Americans want new Democratic Congress to end Trump's Iran war.

    Majorities of Americans want the newly elected Democratic-majority US Congress to act to end the war with Iran and to repeal tariffs put in place by President Donald Trump, signaling demand for quick action to address the high cost of living, the latest Reuters/Ipsos poll found.

    The four-day poll, completed on Monday, showed 71 per cent of Americans -- including 93 per cent of Democrats and 51 per cent of Republicans -- want US Congress to pass legislation ending the conflict with Iran that Trump launched alongside US ally Israel in February.

    Democratic Party leaders have vowed to address cost of living concerns, and say they will try to force an end to the US war with Iran. Many in the party have also vowed to end Trump's tariffs.
