Raleigh Durham, NC, October 19, 2026 —

Democrats are leading Republicans in House vote choice, while former President Trump has a record low approval rating, according to an ABC/Post/Ipsos poll. The poll summary identifies the trend as relevant to the Raleigh-Durham (Fayetteville) area.

The information provided does not include the percentage of respondents favoring either party, the size of the lead, or the approval rating figure. It also does not give the poll’s field dates, sample size, margin of error or methodology. Those details are needed to assess the scale and precision of the reported results.

House vote choice and presidential approval are separate measures: the first concerns respondents’ stated preference between parties for House voting, while the second concerns their view of Trump’s performance. The summary says the two trends are occurring at the same time; it does not establish that one caused the other.

The Raleigh-Durham (Fayetteville) area is named as relevant, but the summary does not provide local survey results or explain whether the poll includes a regional breakdown. It therefore does not establish how voters in the area responded or whether their views differ from the broader result.

No election date, candidate-specific information or further polling details were provided. The available account supports a limited conclusion: Democrats currently lead Republicans in House vote choice in the poll, alongside a record low approval rating for Trump, but the size, timing and geographic reach of those findings cannot be determined from the information supplied.
