美国总统唐纳德·特朗普。— 路透社/资料图 特朗普的施政支持率为32%，接近历史最低点。半数独立选民将周二的投票视为对特朗普的反对。

在国会选举的通用选票问题上，选民以46%对38%的比例倾向于支持民主党。
Voters favour Democrats by 46% to 38% on generic congressional ballot.
路透社/益普索周一完成的一项民调显示，随着美国广大选民将周二的国会中期选举投票视为反对这位共和党总统的一种方式，唐纳德·特朗普总统的支持率维持在职业生涯低点附近。
President Donald Trump's approval rating held near a career low as a broad swath of the US electorate saw their vote in Tuesday's congressional midterm elections as a way to oppose the Republican president, according to a /Ipsos poll completed on Monday.
民调结果凸显了自特朗普于2月对伊朗发动战争以来燃料价格飙升给共和党带来的脆弱性。在这项全国性民调中，选民表示他们更倾向于民主党而非共和党——比例为46%对38%——即所谓的“通用选票”问题。
The poll results underscore Republican vulnerabilities brought on by a surge in fuel prices since Trump launched a war on Iran in February. Voters in the nationwide poll said they preferred Democrats over Republicans — 46% to 38% — in what is known as a "generic ballot" question.
尽管如此，民主党这一8个百分点的优势仍小于一周前路透社/益普索进行的民调，当时民主党领先11个百分点。
Still, that 8-percentage-point Democratic advantage was narrower than in a Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted a week earlier, when Democrats led by 11 points.
通用选票问题从总体上反映了全国选民希望哪个政党掌控国会，但它并未体现决定美国参议院和美国众议院控制权的各州及各选区选战中的细微差别。特朗普所在的共和党人正奋力保住该党在国会中的多数地位。
The generic ballot question gives an overall view of which party voters nationwide would like to see in charge in Congress, though it does not capture the nuances of the state-by-state and district-by-district contests that determine control of the US Senate and US House of Representatives. Trump's fellow Republicans are fighting to retain the party's majorities in Congress.
两党的政治策略师都认为，民主党最有可能赢得众议院的控制权，众议院全部435个席位都将改选。民主党在美国参议院的胜选之路更为艰难，近几日该党在阿拉斯加州和密歇根州处于守势。虽然特朗普不在选票上，但他在此次选举中影响巨大。
Political strategists from both parties think Democrats have the best shot at winning control of the House, where all 435 seats are up for grabs. Democrats face a more difficult path to victory in the US Senate, with the party on the defensive in Alaska and Michigan in recent days. While Trump won't be on the ballot, he looms large in the election.
约32%的受访者表示认可特朗普在白宫的施政表现，与一周前持平，仅略高于两周前31%的历史最低读数。
Some 32% of poll respondents said they approved of the job Trump was doing in the White House, unchanged from a week earlier and just above his record-low reading of 31% two weeks ago.
在已登记选民中，约50%的独立选民表示，他们在国会选举中的投票是对特朗普的反对票，相比之下，13%的人表示这是支持特朗普的投票，33%的人表示总统并非其投票考量因素。
Among registered voters, some 50% of independents said they saw their vote in congressional elections as a vote against Trump, compared with 13% who said it was a vote for Trump and 33% who said the president wasn't a factor in their vote.
约78%的选民表示，生活成本上涨将是决定其投票取向时“非常重要”或“最重要”的议题。当被问及哪个政党在该议题上表现更好时，民调受访者选择民主党而非共和党，比例为43%对32%。
Some 78% of voters said the rising cost of living would be very important or the most important issue in deciding how to vote. Asked which party was better on the issue, voters in the poll picked Democrats over Republicans, 43% to 32%.
民主党选民似乎对投票更有热情，该党希望这将转化为投票率优势。约49%的民主党选民表示他们对今年投票“非常热情”，而共和党选民这一比例为33%。
Democrats appear to have more enthusiasm about voting, which the party hopes will lead to an advantage in voter turnout. Some 49% of Democratic voters said they are "very enthusiastic" about voting this year, compared with 33% of Republicans.
