Trump's disapproval hits a record 60 per cent as Republican insiders brace for a US midterm drubbing

A CNN poll described as an "earthquake" survey shows just one in four Americans approve of Trump's handling of the economy, with overall disapproval now at a record 60 per cent on the eve of the midterm elections. GOP insiders are privately blaming Trump for what they fear will be a heavy defeat, with one quoted as saying: 'We all know who the problem is.' The White House has added to the turmoil by conducting strikes on election eve that critics are calling 'deeply alarming.'

Republicans warned the CNN polling amounts to an 'earthquake' ahead of Tuesday's vote.

GOP insiders are openly turning on Trump, fearing a midterm drubbing they say he has brought on himself.

Trump's election-eve strikes drew fury from critics who called them a deliberate distraction.
