President Trump's approval rating has reached near-record lows, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday.

The survey of registered voters found that 36 percent say they approve of Trump's job performance, compared to 58 percent who disapprove. Trump's approval has fallen from the 40 percent recorded in the same poll released in mid-April.

"There is no way to spin or sugarcoat these sagging numbers," said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll. "[These] are red flags that the administration simply can't brush away."

I'm guessing this poll was concluded before yesterday's bombshell.

[putitinD]

1. I can't believe its even that high!

[paleotn]

5. Wait until yesterday's disaster gets cooked into the numbers.

He may go below 30% approval.

[leftynyc]

6. That's the number I'm waiting for

under 30. I'm not sure it's a Q poll but I also just saw that on generic congressional ballot, Democrats +16. That's very good news. I'm going to try and find it.

28. My prediction for some time has been

in the 20s by June. He might make it.

[Wash. state Desk Jet]

41. I think thats fairly accurate

nt

[Ccarmona]

33. I don't Think the Scophants Will

Bail out until Trump's actions, lack of actions, and/or policies directly affects them.

[politicat]

15. I'm assuming that's near the floor, given LePen's numbers.

We have to assume that a fraction of the population just gravitate towards authoritarianism. I've been estimating that between 1 in 3 and 1 in 4. It's going to take egregious pissing off to drop the numbers much more.

Not that the Trumpenproletariat aren't capable of turning vindictive, and if Mango Mussolini has one strength, it appears to be continuing to dig holes.

16. Spot on analysis

[Furious00]

30. Much higher on FOX

Can you believe Faux News had his approval rating at 50%?! And that's the poll the orange turd believes.
"So much winning!"

[rzemanfl]

35. Welcome to DU. n/t

[brucefan]

38. Why yes

I do believe it

[leftynyc]

44. That poll is almost a month old

It was released 4/17 and isn't valid any longer. Both the daily tracking polls have him down - even pathetically right wing rassmussen. And that was before this latest hot mess he's found himself in. It's like he can't get out of his own way.

[GusBob]

2. Red Flags lol

[underpants]

3. May 4-9. MOE -/+ 3%

From May 4 - 9, Quinnipiac University surveyed 1,078 voters nationwide with a margin of error of +/- 3 percentage points. Live interviewers call landlines and cell phones.

[leftynyc]

7. It would be interesting

to see the day to day numbers since yesterday was included.

[underpants]

9. I commented as such on another thread

People like the FBI. People cooperate with them out of respect not fear. Whatever people think of Comey is irrelevant. This could turn nasty really quickly.

[leftynyc]

10. If degenerate donnie

was pissed about leaks before, he better put his hip waders on now. Even according to drudge (I know, I saw it on twitter), white house staffers are the ones leaking most of the stuff.

[FakeNoose]

23. They can't stand him either

The poor staffers who work for him see the worst. Who can be loyal to that asshole? I know I wouldn't be.

As long as people aren't complicit (part of Trump's betrayal) they might as well leak stuff.
They just need to be sure they don't get caught.

I bet that's how Rachel Maddow gets some of her info.

[Freethinker65]

4. Should be some fabulous tweets coming

[meadowlark5]

8. That's about the percentage of the population that are tried and true deplorables

I think around 30% of the population, no matter what, are lock step, brain dead conservative republicans. The Rush Limbaugh, Infowars, Sean Hannity folk. If it ever drops below 30% then that's a very bad sign for dumpy. But that will never happen unless Fox News tells them to turn on him.

[StevieM]

11. Good point. This polling data is from before Comey's firing.

So now they may slip further, or at least stabilize at that point.

[leftynyc]

13. Underpants posted it included yesterday

It would be very interesting to see the day to day numbers.

[tenorly]

12. Can you imagine how low it be would be, but for Faux news and hate radio?

He'd be holed up in the Russian embassy, applying for asylum by now.

[leftynyc]

14. Even nixon didn't

go below 30 (29) until JUST before he resigned.

[tenorly]

17. And certainly not this early in his presidency.

Same for other presidents who ultimately became unpopular, such as Truman, Carter, and both Bushes.

Speaking of whom, the fat bastard must already be mulling some 9/11-style "terrorist" event.

[Feathery Scout]

18. Republicans are still in the 80s!!!

I don't know what it will take to get them to actually disapprove of this treasonous tyrant!

My God, he's already taken us to the brink of a nuclear war and is in the process of removing our healthcare.

[leftynyc]

19. I'm thinking those congressional numbers

I just posted (Dems +16 on generic ballot) will give them pause. How far down the rabbit hole do they wish to go? Far enough to get fired?

[Feathery Scout]

22. They are also scared of being primaried tho.

And they have a vindicative psychotic Chief Executive who watches everything and apparently threatens them to bend them to his will...

[cstanleytech]

21. More like early 70s but this time rather than try and break in themselves and get caught

they went out and got a partner with experience in breaking and entering to do the job.

[cstanleytech]

20. "the administration simply can't brush away." Oh yes they can and they probably will

because the only thing they and the other Repugnants care about is reducing the amount the wealthy have to pay in taxes even if it means kicking grandma out on the street and rigging SCOTUS for the next 3 decades or more.

[NRaleighLiberal]

24. 40 percent too high - he should be in negative territory!

[ProfessorGAC]

46. With More Than 80% Of R's Approving. . .

. . .the numbers make sense. Let's just say 25% are full on R's. That's 16% overall right there. Now, of the other 75% less than 24% approve, so among non-R's, his approval rating is under one-third.

I can see that, i suppose.

[Dopers_Greed]

25. The Comey firing is going to hurt him even worse

These are the numbers of a LOSER

[LisaM]

26. SLIPS to?

We should be flabbergasted if it rose to that level.

[leftynyc]

27. I really do think

that most people WANT to support their president, their commander-in-chief. They need a reason NOT to and it looks like 64% have found that reason. I pointed out in another post, even nixon didn't go below 30 until just before resignation.

[Eyeball_Kid]

29. The Comey firing will give him an additional drop in approval rating.

THAT information won't resonate in polling figures for another week or so.

[world wide wally]

31. That tells me that one out of three Americans is braindead and 3 more are just stupid

[SergeStorms]

32. The brain dead 36%.......

who would suck this guy's dick if he killed their mother. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE?

[mwooldri]

34. Too high. nt

[Honeycombe8]

36. Too high! When was the poll taken? If before yesterday, they may be worse by now. nt

[Lucky Luciano]

37. Sub-30% that holds for 4 weeks and republican thugs will start to jump ship. nt

[mgardener]

39. Still 35 % too high!

Start asking your trump supporter acquaintances when the trump family is shifting their businesses from China to the US, so their products can be made in America and give Americans .
Or if they ever will.

[hawy]

40. no bigly deal

As long as he keeps the country split, the 1% and that putz in Russia can have all the fun they want!

[not fooled]

42. Probably

Sad but true.

Welcome to DU!!

[leftynyc]

45. The entire house

and many senators are looking an election in the face. Are they loyal enough to hold a president with a 30% approval rating close to them? I don't think so.

[tavalon]

43. Why is his approval rating so high?
