根据两项新民调，伊朗战争持续和通胀上升正严重拖累美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的支持率，该支持率在11月3日中期选举前几周已降至历史最低点。华盛顿邮报-ABC新闻-Ipsos民调和福克斯新闻民调显示，选民不满情绪日益加剧，尤其体现在经济、通胀以及政府对伊朗战争的处理上。华盛顿邮报-ABC新闻-Ipsos民调显示，特朗普在美国成年人中的支持率仅为33%，而66%的人不赞同他的表现。
The continuing war with Iran and rising inflation are weighing heavily on US President Donald Trump’s approval ratings, which have plunged to record lows just weeks before the November 3 midterm elections, according to two new polls. The polls by The Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos and Fox News point to mounting voter dissatisfaction, particularly over the economy, inflation and the administration's handling of the war with Iran. The Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll puts Trump's approval rating among American adults at just 33 per cent, while 66 per cent disapprove of his performance.
超过半数受访者，即52%，表示他们强烈不赞同总统。这一数据较去年同期下降了8个百分点，较7月下降了4个百分点。民调显示，特朗普的支持率已低于其首个任期内的任何一次测量值。在可能投票者中，他的支持率为38%，而62%的人不赞同。另一项福克斯新闻民调发现，只有36%的受访者赞同特朗普作为总统的整体表现，而64%的人不赞同。
More than half of all respondents, 52 per cent, said they strongly disapprove of the president. The figure marks an eight-percentage-point decline from the same period last year and a four-point fall since July. According to the poll, Trump's approval has dropped below every reading recorded during his first term. Among likely voters, his approval stands at 38 per cent, against 62 per cent who disapprove.A separate Fox News poll found that only 36 per cent of respondents approve of Trump's overall performance as president, while 64 per cent disapprove.
这是他两个任期内记录的最低支持率。这些发现正值共和党关键时刻，他们正试图保持对国会的控制。众议院全部435个席位和参议院35个席位将进行选举，此外还有众多州长及其他州和地方选举。经济与通胀拖累特朗普在两项民调中，经济不满已成为总统的主要弱点。华盛顿邮报-ABC新闻-Ipsos民调发现，民主党在超过十年来首次在选民对处理经济的信任上占据优势。
This was the lowest recorded across either of his terms in office. The findings come at a critical moment for Republicans, who are seeking to retain control of Congress. All 435 seats in the House of Representatives and 35 Senate seats are up for election, alongside numerous gubernatorial and other state and local contests.ECONOMY, INFLATION WEIGH ON TRUMPEconomic discontent has emerged as a major weakness for the president in both surveys. The Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll found that Democrats, for the first time in more than a decade, have an advantage over Republicans in voters' trust to handle the economy.
该调查还显示，全国范围内对国家方向存在广泛悲观情绪，72%的受访者认为美国正朝着错误的方向发展。
The survey also points to widespread pessimism about the country's direction, with 72 per cent of respondents saying the US is heading the wrong way.
自四月以来，这一数据上升了五个百分点。福克斯新闻民调同样描绘出特朗普在经济问题上的同样严峻形势。
That represents a five-point increase since April. The Fox News poll paints a similarly bleak picture of Trump's economic standing.
只有22%的受访者批准他处理通胀的方式，较去年夏天进行的一项调查中的36%有所下降。在其他几个政策领域，不赞成的比例也超过了赞成的比例。据福克斯新闻报道，70%的受访者不赞成特朗普处理经济的方式，69%不赞成他的关税政策，64%不赞成他的外交政策，56%不赞成他的移民政策。边境安全是一个显著的例外，意见在此问题上出现了平分：50%的受访者赞成特朗普处理边境安全的方式，50%不赞成。
Only 22 per cent of respondents approved of his handling of inflation, down from 36 per cent in a survey conducted last summer. Disapproval also outweighed approval across several other policy areas. According to Fox News, 70 per cent of respondents disapproved of Trump's handling of the economy, 69 per cent of his approach to tariffs, 64 per cent of his foreign policy and 56 per cent of his immigration policies. Border security was the notable exception, with opinion evenly divided: 50 per cent approved of Trump's handling of the issue and 50 per cent disapproved.IRAN WAR ADDS TO PRESSUREThe dragging conflict with Iran has added to concerns over rising living costs, with higher oil prices pushing up fuel expenses for American households.
伊朗战争加剧了压力。与伊朗的拖延冲突加剧了人们对生活成本上升的担忧，因为油价上涨推高了美国家庭的燃油开支。《华盛顿邮报»-ABC新闻-Ipsos调查发现，公众对特朗普决定发动战争的担忧非常深切，受访者表示该冲突正在影响他们的财务状况，特别是通过汽油价格。根据福克斯新闻报道引用的数据，周三美国普通汽油的售价约为每加仑4.33美元，比一年前高出1.25美元。
The Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos survey found deep public concern over Trump's decision to go to war, with respondents reporting that the conflict was affecting their finances, particularly through petrol prices. According to the figures cited in the Fox News report, regular petrol in the US was selling for around $4.33 per gallon on Wednesday, $1.25 higher than a year earlier.
特朗普承认这场冲突可能带来选举后果。他之前曾承认，这场战争可能在11月让共和党失去选票，即使他为更高的燃油成本进行辩护，称其为军事行动值得付出的代价。总统还表示，他相信汽油价格最终会大幅下降，并将预期的下降比作“反向的火箭”。民主党看到希望。民调结果表明，民主党人有机会利用人们对政府的不满，因为他们正试图重新夺回国会的控制权。
Trump has acknowledged that the conflict could carry electoral consequences. He previously conceded that it was possible the war could cost Republicans votes in November, even as he defended the higher fuel costs as a price worth paying for the military campaign. The president has also expressed confidence that petrol prices will eventually fall sharply, comparing the expected decline to “rocket ships in reverse”.DEMOCRATS SEE SILVER LININGThe polling findings suggest Democrats have an opportunity to capitalise on dissatisfaction with the administration as they seek to regain congressional power.
《华盛顿邮报»-ABC新闻-Ipsos调查发现，民主党登记选民比共和党登记选民更有可能表示他们肯定会投票或已经投了票。这一比例为民主党75%，共和党67%。民调还揭示了共和党内部的分歧。
The Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos survey found that Democratic registered voters were more likely than their Republican counterparts to say they were certain to vote or had already cast their ballots. The figures stood at 75 per cent for Democrats and 67 per cent for Republicans. The poll also revealed differences within the Republican base.
75% 自认属于 MAGA 运动的共和党人表示他们肯定会投票，而在运动之外的共和党人中，这一比例降至 57%。福克斯新闻报道称，特朗普的支持率下降在 45 岁及以下的可能投票者、非白人选民、未受过大学教育的人以及年收入低于 5 万美元的家庭中尤为明显。根据报道引用的调查结果，民意调查显示民主党有望赢得众议院控制权，而参议院选举仍然难以预测。共和党失去众议院将极大限制特朗普在其任期最后两年的立法议程，并使民主党获得发出传票以调查其政府的权力。- 结束
While 75 per cent of Republicans who identify with the MAGA movement said they were certain to vote, that share fell to 57 per cent among Republicans outside the movement. Fox News reported that Trump's declining approval was particularly pronounced among likely voters aged 45 and younger, non-white voters, people without a college degree and households earning less than $50,000 annually. Opinion polls point towards Democrats winning control of the House of Representatives, while the Senate contest remains too close to call, according to the findings cited in the reports.A Republican loss of the House would significantly constrain Trump's legislative agenda during the final two years of his term and give Democrats the power to issue subpoenas as they investigate his administration.- Ends
