Bakersfield, CA, October 15, 2026 —

An AP-NORC poll indicates that a strong majority of voters believe President Donald Trump is failing in both domestic and international affairs. The poll’s findings also signal a desire among voters for major changes in upcoming elections.

The available summary does not provide the poll’s exact results, the number of people surveyed, when the poll was conducted, or how respondents were asked about Trump’s performance. It also does not specify what voters said should change or identify particular domestic or international issues driving their views.

The findings, as described, point to dissatisfaction across two broad areas of presidential performance rather than a single policy area. However, without the underlying figures or additional detail about the questions, the extent and reasons for that dissatisfaction cannot be assessed more precisely from the information provided.

The summary connects those views to upcoming elections, saying they signal a desire for major changes. It does not identify which elections are meant, name candidates or parties, or explain what form those changes might take. Nor does it provide evidence about how voters plan to act on their preferences.

Further details about the poll—including its timing, methodology, exact percentages and question wording—were not provided. Those details would help clarify the scope of the findings and how the reported views compare across issues or groups of voters. Based on the available information, the central finding is that a strong majority of surveyed voters consider Trump to be failing in both domestic and international affairs, alongside an expressed appetite for major changes in coming elections.
