Though tempered by the prospect of additional GOP gerrymandering of House districts in the wake of a pivotal Supreme Court decision, Democrats’ hopes for a rout of Republicans in the approaching midterm elections are rising after a Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll found that President Trump’s disapproval rating is now the highest of either of his two terms in office.

In a survey of US adults taken in the last week of April, 62% said they disapprove of his general performance in the Oval Office.

A majority of Americans surveyed expressed disapproval of his handling of every issue covered by the survey.
