economictimes.indiatimes.com —

President Donald Trump's approval rating stands at 38%, the lowest for an incumbent president during a midterm election, according to a CBS News exit poll as polls began closing on Tuesday. Roughly three-quarters of voters are dissatisfied with the country's direction, and more view the economy negatively than two years ago. Most Americans also believe the US was wrong to take military action in Iran. Trump told CBS he has "ultimate power" through his veto to force bipartisan deals if Democrats gain control. Early projections show Virginia Democratic Senator Mark Warner winning re-election.
