United States: Midterm Election Day—Is Trump in Danger?

Americans are voting in midterm elections that put all 435 House seats, 35 Senate seats and governorships in 36 states at stake. Democrats need three additional House seats and a net gain of four Senate seats to take control of both chambers. Donald Trump’s approval rating, at around 30%, has been hurt by fuel prices, the war in the Middle East and his restrictive immigration policy. A Democratic victory could block Trump’s legislative agenda and trigger investigations into his administration; Trump has threatened to veto everything but has not ruled out deals with Democrats.
