CBS News exit polls for the 2026 U.S. midterms put President Trump’s approval at just 38%, a possible record low for a president in a midterm election and below George W. Bush’s 2006 level when Republicans lost both chambers of Congress. About 60% of voters said Trump factored into their House vote, driven mainly by Democrats opposing him, while only MAGA-aligned Republicans largely said they voted to support him. CBS projected Democrat Roy Cooper winning North Carolina’s Senate seat, the state’s first Democratic senator since 2008, and Democrat Jon Ossoff winning Georgia within 40 minutes of polls closing, defeating Republican Rep. Mike Collins. Cooper ran ahead of 2024 Democratic nominee Kamala Harris among independents and white women, and Ossoff matched his 2021 runoff share among Black voters while improving among white voters. The South Carolina Senate race between Republican Darline Graham and Democrat Annie Andrews remains rated a toss-up.
