Introduction

Many people do not like President Trump now. More people want to vote for Democrats in the next election.

Main Body

People are unhappy because things cost too much money. Gas prices went up after the war with Iran. Many people think the war is a mistake. Because of this, Republican leaders are in trouble. In many areas, less than 50% of people like the president. More women and Hispanic people want to vote for Democrats. Democrats have some problems too. Some Democratic voters are not happy with their own leaders. However, Democrats can still win the House of Representatives.

Conclusion

President Trump has low approval. This means Republicans might lose their power in the next election.
