Trump vows to spend more than $400 million rescuing Republicans in the midterms while his approval rating slumps
President Donald Trump says over $300 million has already gone on adverts, rallies and get-out-the-vote drives before the 3 November vote. His super PAC MAGA Inc. ended August with $415 million in the bank. Billionaire Michael Bloomberg is reportedly countering with roughly $80 million for Democrats. The Republican National Committee has also moved $50 million to party-affiliated groups.
A poll puts Trump's approval at just 33 percent.
CNN data analyst Harry Enten called the slide 'a five-alarm Trumpster fire'.
Forecaster Decision Desk HQ gives Democrats a 77 percent chance of taking the House.
