Democrats need to pick up at least 24 House seats to gain a majority in the lower chamber.

While the party would need to pick up fewer seats in the Senate to win a majority, Democrats face a tough election map for the upper chamber and must defend 10 seats in states that Trump won in the 2016 presidential election.

Trump’s approval rating currently sits at 43 percent, according to the Politico/Morning Consult poll — a figure that is largely consistent with other recent approval surveys. 

The Politico/Morning Consult poll surveyed 1,989 registered voters from June 22-24. The margin of error is plus or minus 2 percentage points.
