AP-NORC Poll Finds Voters See Trump Underperforming

Binghamton, NY, October 15, 2026 —

A recent AP-NORC poll indicates that a strong majority of voters believe President Donald Trump is underperforming both domestically and internationally, according to a summary of the findings. The results also suggest significant voter interest in change in the upcoming midterm elections.

The finding links views of Trump’s performance across two broad areas—domestic and international affairs—with voters’ outlook toward the midterms. However, the available summary does not specify how respondents’ views on presidential performance relate to their particular choices in the elections. It describes the poll as suggesting a desire for change, rather than reporting a specific forecast or election outcome.

The summary does not provide the poll’s exact percentages, the number of people surveyed, when the poll was conducted, or the wording of its questions. It also does not detail how views differed among voter groups or identify which domestic or international issues respondents considered. Those details are not available in the information provided, limiting the conclusions that can be drawn from the reported finding.

As presented, the poll offers a broad indication of voter sentiment: a strong majority view Trump’s performance negatively in both areas, while the results point to interest in a different direction in the approaching midterm elections. The summary does not establish how that sentiment may translate into turnout or votes. More detailed polling information would be needed to assess the scale of the views, how they compare across groups, and what issues may be shaping them.
