About 60% of US midterm election voters used the election as a way to express dissatisfaction with Trump. This is evidenced by preliminary polls by CNN and NBC news. The main cause of dissatisfaction was the economy. Voters are worried about the rising prices of food, fuel and utilities. About two-thirds of those surveyed believe that the country's economic situation has worsened under Trump. According to NBC News, only 38% of voters approve of the president's job performance. That's down from the 2018 midterm elections, when 45% of voters supported him.
