Summary AI · cited

Millions of Americans are heading to the polls on Tuesday, November 3, for the 2026 US midterm elections.1

The results could determine control over both chambers of Congress and may take anywhere from minutes to weeks to become clear due to decentralised election administration in the US.23

President Donald Trump scored the lowest voter approval rating of any president during the midterm elections, according to exit polls.4
