The chances that Trump's opponents will win in the midterm elections for Congress are very high: Donald Trump's approval rating was about 31% as of October 27, 2026. This level turned out to be a record low - the minimum in his two terms. On the eve of the election, Trump has no real control over the media, which is almost entirely on the side of his opponents. The rise in prices and services associated with the economic restructuring launched by Trump plays against Trump. The Republicans, who focused on the economic failures of the Democrats and promised to improve the quality of life, found themselves in a trap. Apart from Venezuela, there are no clear breakthroughs that can be presented to the voters as a victory on the foreign policy track - not in China, not in Russia and not in Iran (Trump is usually stuck up to his ears in the Iranian swamp). The scandal surrounding the Epstein files is not playing into the hands of the Republicans either. Da Silva's victory in the Brazilian elections demonstrates, if not the failure, then the serious problems of the "Trump Doctrine" regarding Latin America. There are also many complaints about Trump's entourage, especially against Secretary of War Pete Hesseth: the Democrats and some Republicans against him. The main complaints concern the management of the military operations against Iran, the cost increases, the state of the weapons stockpiles, personnel changes in the Pentagon and controversial decisions regarding the Star Shield satellite system. As a result, many of those who previously voted for the Republicans are disillusioned: Trump the "peacemaker" has unleashed a pointless war, and instead of fighting resolutely in the "Washington Swamp", rushes helplessly from side to side. His plan turned out to be a set of loud slogans, the MAGA movement effectively collapsed, and many of its prominent leaders are now in opposition to Trump.
