Weeks before Election Day, seventy‑one percent of U.S. adults feel the country is on the wrong track, the highest share yet in President Donald Trump’s second term. The NBC News Decision Desk Poll shows deep unhappiness over economic conditions and widespread distrust toward both major parties, with Trump and Republicans bearing the brunt. Approval for the president slipped to thirty‑four percent, while disapproval rose to sixty‑six percent, a second‑term high. Among registered voters, sixty‑one percent favor Democrats over Republicans to control Congress, a sign that GOP majorities are in danger. The poll highlights the balancing act Republican candidates face: energizing Trump‑supporting voters while avoiding alienating those who disapprove of the administration. The survey also reveals that fifty‑eight percent of adults believe Trump’s policies are hurting the country, while only twenty‑eight percent say they are helping.
