"SNIP...........

Trump’s approval has hit a new record low of 32% according to a new AP poll, which means that this president is worse than unpopular. He is being soundly rejected.

The AP-NORC poll found, “Thirty-two percent of Americans say they approve of the way President Trump is handling his job and 67 percent disapprove. His approval rating is down from 42 percent in March and 35 percent in June. While 67 percent of Republicans still approve of the job the president is doing, support among Republicans has decreased significantly since March when 80 percent of Republicans expressed approval. Twenty-eight percent of independents and 5 percent of Democrats say they approve of Trump’s handling of his job. Among Democrats, this also represents a decline since March when 11 percent said they approved.”

Additionally, just 24% of Americans think the country is moving in the right direction, only 26% think Trump is a strong leader, and 23% think he is honest. The floor for Trump support with Americans is 23%-26%, which means that Trump could lose another 6-9 points of approval before he hits rock bottom. Trump is losing is losing his Republican base. The standard Republican level of response in public opinion polls has been 34%-37%. Trump is five points below the high end of the range, which suggests that he is losing members of his own party.

The American body politic is rejecting the Trump presidency like a bad organ transplant, and unpopular decisions like rolling back contraceptive coverage are designed to appease the 32% that still support him, but if Republicans go into elections in 2018 and 2020 with Trump at 32% approval, they will lose and lose badly.

1. The dirty thirty percenters still heart Trump.

[PJMcK]

2. Surprise, surprise, surprise (n/t)

[Wounded Bear]

3. Still too high...

[D_Master81]

4. yes!

until it's below 1% we could say this

[marlakay]

5. Really...who are the 32%?

Scares me that that many people in this country like someone that awful. Beyond the pale.

[beachbum bob]

6. will take more than just one poll at the low 30% level to kick gop in the ass

...as 2018 approaches, there do or die time is shrinking with trump....

[malaise]

7. Come on I want 29%

I plan to celebrate below 30% and soon

[Zambero]

8. Same here, although...

it's a bit of a double-edged sword. In order for his poll numbers to drop further, he will need to sink to a new low on the basis of what he does and says. Surely enough, it will happen, and words and actions have consequences. And therein lies the danger.

13. I might even have to have a beer

and I'm not much of a beer drinker. LOL

9. georgee used 9/11, what w/ twitler use.

[bdamomma]

10. The time is now

for us to be very LOUD. We have seen through history how unscrupulous very unhinged sick men can do to it's citizens. This guy is a sick son of a bitch and we need to remove him as soon as possible. Oh Congress are you listening????

This man is a threat to all of us. He is very unpredictable, that comment "the calm before the storm" last night sounded very ominous, I really think he couldn't care less who gets killed.

[smirkymonkey]

11. He's going down in flames.

I can't wait to see that miserable motherfucker impeached.

[uponit7771]

12. 67% disapproval

[Dan]

14. I would have to see

actual voting results (that would confirm that level of disapproval) before I would believe poll numbers again - about the orange thing.

[Whiskeytide]

15. Call them "ratings", not approval numbers...

... He can't stand getting low ratings.

[Garrett78]

16. What was his approval/disapproval percentage when he was running for POTUS?

Probably not a whole lot different than it is right now, yet he's POTUS. It seems to me that Trump's ceiling (and floor) has always been in the 30s. Those who truly wouldn't care if he shot someone on 5th Avenue in broad daylight.

And Republicans, as batshit crazy as they are, control most state legislatures, governorships, the US House, the US Senate, etc.

I just can't relish in the low approval ratings, as it doesn't seem to matter.
