Donald Trump2026-09-26 10:58:07WSJ poll puts Trump approval at 37% as Republican anxiety over midterms growsA new Wall Street Journal report says Republican concern over the coming U.S. midterm elections is deepening even as Donald Trump has privately told people around him that the party will do better than expected in November. The report, published about five weeks before the election, said the latest Wall Street Journal poll put Trump’s approval rating at 37%, the lowest level for any president ahead of a midterm election since the newspaper began conducting comparable surveys in 1990. The poll was conducted from Sept. 16 to Sept. 21 among 1,500 registered voters, with a margin of error of plus or minus 2.5 percentage points. Among voters who backed Trump in 2024, 11% said they regretted that vote. Among Republican voters who do not identify themselves as part of the MAGA camp, 11% said they plan to support Democrats in congressional races. The report also said some Republican candidates in key states have publicly called for ending the war with Iran or have chosen to keep their distance from Trump’s immigration and energy positions. Democrats need only a small number of additional seats to retake the House, while the Republican-held Senate is also seen as highly competitive. Trump is now focused on roughly 35 closely contested races and plans to campaign for Republican candidates through virtual rallies and visits to swing states.250
Trump2026-09-19 15:49:04Trump launches Truth Social poll to rename artificial intelligenceFormer U.S. President Donald Trump said on Sept. 19 in a Truth Social post that the term "Artificial Intelligence" is, in his view, both inaccurate and awkward, and not the right way to describe AI. He proposed three alternative names for what he called a new phenomenon: Superior Intelligence, abbreviated as SI; Extreme Intelligence, or EI; and Supreme Intelligence, also abbreviated as SI. Trump framed the post as a public vote and invited people to weigh in on what this developing "revolution" should be called. At the time cited in the BlockBeats report, the poll had drawn 10,183 votes, with 1 day remaining before the deadline. The report did not provide additional details beyond the post and the poll figures.300
Trump2026-09-19 15:43:56Trump launches poll to rename AI, floats “Superior Intelligence” and other alternativesU.S. President Donald Trump said in a post that many people believe the term “artificial intelligence” is neither accurate nor elegant enough, and suggested three alternative names: “Superior Intelligence (SI),” “Extreme Intelligence (EI),” and “Supreme Intelligence (SI).” He also launched a public poll asking which label best describes what he called an ongoing “revolution.” A screenshot attached to the post showed that 2,370 people had voted at that time, with about one day remaining before the poll closed. The post centered on the naming of AI rather than any policy or product announcement. The options listed in the poll included two choices sharing the same SI abbreviation, while “Extreme Intelligence” was presented with the abbreviation EI.310
Reuters2026-08-25 02:24:55Reuters/Ipsos poll shows U.S. support for Iran conflict at lowest level since early stageA Reuters report said a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Aug. 24 local time found U.S. public support for the conflict with Iran has fallen to its lowest level since the early phase of the fighting, while President Donald Trump’s approval rating stayed at a historic low in the same survey series. The four-day poll showed that 31% of Americans support U.S. military action against Iran, down from 37% in March and 34% earlier in August. Reuters said the conflict has continued to damage Trump’s public image. In two consecutive polls, only 33% of respondents approved of Trump’s performance in the White House, the lowest reading of his presidency in Reuters/Ipsos polling. The survey also found that about 83% of Americans expect the conflict between the United States and Iran to last for a long time. The poll was conducted among 1,215 U.S. adults nationwide and carried a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.880
Trump2026-08-21 11:31:04Poll: Most Americans Say Trump and His Family Went Too Far on Crypto ProfitsA new Reuters/Ipsos poll found that 63% of U.S. adults say it is inappropriate for Donald Trump and his family to profit from crypto the way they have since his return to the White House, while 32% say it is appropriate. The survey also found that 69% believe Trump’s private business interests shape his decisions in office, including roughly half of Republican respondents. Reuters said the online poll surveyed 1,166 U.S. adults from Aug. 14 to 17, with a 3-point margin of error. The findings come as Trump’s crypto ventures remain under scrutiny. Financial disclosures released earlier this year showed he earned more than $1.4 billion from crypto projects including World Liberty Financial and his self-branded meme coin. Democrats have used those figures to press for limits on presidential crypto activity, while the White House denied any conflict of interest. The poll arrives as lawmakers continue working through Clarity Act provisions that would restrict the president’s crypto ventures before a Senate vote next month.410
South Korea2026-08-21 08:53:32South Korea poll finds 59.6% support for conscripting womenA new poll released on Aug. 19 by the Reform Institute, which is affiliated with South Korea’s Reform Party, found that 59.6% of respondents support conscripting women, while 34% oppose the idea. The survey covered 1,006 adults aged 18 and older nationwide. Support was stronger among men at 64.8%, and a majority of women, 54.5%, also backed the proposal. The highest support came from men in their 20s and 30s, at 71.7%. The same survey showed a more complicated view when respondents were asked what kind of military service system South Korea should adopt. While 47.4% supported a selective volunteer enlistment model and 41.9% opposed it, 49.9% said such a system would not help solve troop shortages, compared with 42.7% who said it would. On the broader direction of reform, 41.5% favored running conscription and volunteer service in parallel, 35.4% wanted to keep the current conscription system, and only 10.6% supported a full shift to an all-volunteer military. Among younger respondents, support for maintaining the current draft was even stronger. In their 20s, 48.3% chose the current system, while 47.6% of those in their 30s did the same. Reform Party leader Lee Jun-seok said military reform should reflect the views of the generation that will actually serve.1000
Donald Trump2026-08-20 15:53:51Poll finds most Americans see Trump family crypto investments as inappropriateA Reuters/Ipsos poll of 1,166 Americans found that most respondents do not think it is appropriate for US President Donald Trump and his family to profit from cryptocurrency investments while he is in office. The survey, conducted Aug. 14-17, showed 63% opposed the arrangement. The partisan split was sharp: 69% of Republican respondents said it was appropriate, while 92% of Democrats said it was not. The findings add fresh data to a debate that has already drawn scrutiny in Washington. A June disclosure from the US Office of Government Ethics said Trump earned $1.4 billion in 2025 from crypto-related investments, including through the family-backed World Liberty Financial and his memecoin, Official Trump (TRUMP). The White House has said there were no conflicts of interest. Meanwhile, lawmakers have sought investigations and more information, and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said in July that he introduced legislation to create a federal anti-corruption agency, citing the president’s highly profitable crypto ventures. Trump also addressed crypto at a White House press conference on Wednesday and urged the Senate to pass the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act ahead of a cloture vote scheduled for Sept. 15.490
