特朗普总统的支持率在《华尔街日报》的民调中跌至总统在中期选举前几周的历史最低点。在《华尔街日报》的最新民调中，特朗普的支持率为37%，是该媒体自前总统乔治·H·W·布什以来，总统在中期选举前不久的最低支持率。在中期选举前不久，与特朗普最接近的总统支持率是前总统乔治·W·布什第二任期时的39%。
President Trump’s approval rating has fallen to a record low in Wall Street Journal polling for a president only a few weeks out from the midterms. In the new poll from the Journal, Trump’s approval sat at 37 percent, the lowest of a president shortly prior to a midterm in the outlet's polling going back to former President George H.W. Bush. The closest presidential job approval to Trump’s shortly prior to the midterms was that of former President George W. Bush, at 39 percent in his second term.
这项民调距离今年的中期选举仅剩几周，总统及其政党正面临严峻的选举环境。共和党正面临不受欢迎的伊朗战争，这场战争于周一进入第七个月。在近期的民调中，民主党表现优于共和党，随着选举日临近，对移民和生活成本等问题的担忧正拖累特朗普和共和党。在《华尔街日报》的民调中，60%的人表示特朗普的经济政策使经济恶化，25%的人持相反意见，10%的人表示他的政策未对经济产生影响。
The poll comes only a few weeks out from this year’s midterms, with the president and his party dealing with a challenging electoral environment. The GOP is facing down the unpopular war in Iran, which reached the seven-month mark Monday. Democrats are outperforming them in recent polling and concerns about issues like immigration and the cost of living are weighing Trump and the GOP down as Election Day nears. In the Journal poll, 60 percent said Trump’s policies on the economy have worsened it, while 25 percent said the opposite and 10 percent said his policies haven’t affected the economy.
5%的人未作回应或不确定他的经济政策如何影响经济。伊朗战争影响了美国人的能源成本，霍尔木兹海峡——石油行业的关键水道——在冲突中被关闭。据AAA数据，周一上午美国普通汽油每加仑均价约为4.48美元，高于一年前的约3.13美元。无党派选举预测机构《库克政治报告》创始人查理·库克周日表示，认为民主党可能在中期选举后重新夺回众议院已是“板上钉钉”的事，该党同时拿下参议院的可能性也“非常现实”。
Five percent didn’t respond or were unsure about how his policies on the economy have affected it. The war in Iran has affected energy costs for Americans, with the Strait of Hormuz, a key waterway for the oil industry, closed amid the conflict. According to AAA, the average price of a gallon of regular gas in the U.S. was about $4.48 on Monday morning, up from about $3.13 a year prior. Charlie Cook, founder of the nonpartisan election handicapper Cook Political Report, on Sunday said that it had been a “done deal” to conclude that Democrats will probably retake the House following the midterms, with the party’s odds of also claiming the Senate appearing “very realistic.”
“我完全同意，众议院在相当长一段时间内基本已成定局，”库克在ABC新闻《本周》节目中接受玛莎·拉达茨采访时说。
“I would completely agree that the House has been kind of a done deal for a good while,” Cook said in an interview on ABC News’s “This Week” with Martha Raddatz.
“但一年前，认为参议院可能翻盘还不现实，而现在这非常现实。”《华尔街日报》的民调于9月16日至21日进行，涵盖1500名选民，误差幅度为正负2.5个百分点。
“But the Senate, a year ago, it wasn’t realistic to think that the Senate might flip, but now it’s very realistic.”The Wall Street Journal poll took place from Sept. 16 to 21, featuring 1,500ed voters and a margin of error of plus or minus 2.5 percentage points.
