President Trump approval rating falls to 38 percent: Poll

https://poll.qu.edu/national/release-detail?ReleaseID=2431

American voters today give President Donald Trump a negative 38 - 55 percent job approval rating, his worst net score since he took office, down from a negative 42 - 51 percent approval rating in a February 7 Quinnipiac University national poll.

President Trump's negative scores are 36 - 59 percent among women and 41 - 50 percent among men, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University Poll finds. Republicans approve 83 - 10 percent, while negative approval ratings are 5 - 91 percent among Democrats and 38 - 55 percent among independent voters.

Trump gets a negative 39 - 55 percent favorability rating, also his worst net score since taking office. Vice President Mike Pence gets a split 41 - 40 percent favorability.


He is pushing record lows and dropping. Apparently even a healthy percentage of his own voters are getting fed up. About a third are just plain stupid and will believe anything he tells them.

Is this the bottom limit, the fools who will support him whatever he does? Or can it go lower?

The folks between that 38% and the roughly 50% who voted for him. Would they vote D in 2020, orceill ygru continue to vote Addi st their own interests?

55% who disapprove of him came out and voted against him last November. If anyone of them didn't, they brought this on themselves.

But as long as it's falling, I suppose we are headed in the right direction.

There is a solid one-third of the country who are simply deplorable, full stop. Party over principle, hate over maturity. The kind of people who tip 2%, steal everything from their hotel rooms, and then vote to eliminate the minimum wage because "muh socialism."
