Trump's approval rating hits new record low as US midterms loom

What the coverage shows

The Hill directly foregrounds the poll result, saying Trump’s approval rating has hit a “record low” at 33% approval and 66% disapproval. The Guardian US does not lead with that figure; instead, it frames the story around whether relatively confident small-business owners could offset broader negative economic sentiment for Trump, while noting that sentiment is poor overall. The two outlets converge on the idea of weak economic context, but they diverge in whether the headline story is the approval number itself or a possible counterweight from small business sentiment.
