A Reuters/Ipsos poll released Monday shows President Donald Trump's approval rating near a record low as Americans head to the November 3 midterms.
- Some 32 percent of respondents approved of Trump's job performance, 1 point above his record low of 31 percent two weeks ago.
- In congressional vote preference, 46 percent chose Democrats versus 38 percent Republicans, narrowing from an 11-point Democratic lead a week earlier.
- Half of independent voters said their midterm vote is against Trump, compared with 13 percent voting for him.
- Trump ended his campaign with a Washington rally Monday, saying sitting presidents generally do not win midterm elections.
