SIOUX CITY - President Trump's approval ratings have hit new lows shortly before this year's midterm elections, according to fresh polls, The Hill reported. The article cited surveys from The New York Times/Siena University and CNN.
According to The Hill, 36 percent of respondents in the Times/Siena poll said they either strongly approve or somewhat approve of Trump's job performance. Another 59 percent expressed disapproval, though the summary of the article cuts off before giving the full wording of that category.
The Hill also cited a CNN poll, but the summary of its article does not provide that poll's results.
CBS News reported that Trump is campaigning for Republicans in Sioux City, Iowa, on Thursday, with 12 days until Election Day. The network described the area as a "ruby red area" and said its chief Washington analyst, Robert Costa, was in the state with more coverage, in a CBS News video report.
The summary of The Hill's article does not say how the new figures compare with earlier readings from the same pollsters, so the reports do not establish how far the ratings have moved.
The CBS News summary does not describe any remarks Trump made in Sioux City. Both outlets framed their reports around the midterm elections, which the summaries place only days or weeks away.
