Just 38 percent of Americans approve of President Trump’s job performance, according to a new poll released Sunday.

A majority at 58 percent disapprove of Trump's performance as president in the new NBC News/Wall Street Journal Poll.

That rating is the lowest approval rating of any modern president at this point in his tenure, according to the pollsters. The same poll found former President George W. Bush had 88 percent approval at this point in his presidency, former President Barack Obama had 51 percent and former President Bill Clinton had 47 percent.

It’s also a slight drop, but within the poll's margin of error, compared to September’s poll and the lowest rating yet of Trump’s presidency by this polling group at Public Opinion Strategies.

I thought it had been down to 34% or 32% or something(?) Is it specific to who's doing the polling?

Do they live in a vacuum of denial and misinformation or are they just that stupid?

8. Most

are blind partisan Republican hacks who will approve of any Republican president no matter how unfit for office or how reprehensible an individual.

The rest are conservative ideologues who may not necessary care for Trump but approve of him anyway because he’ll sign into law failed, wrongheaded Republican legislation and appoint to the Supreme Court reactionary, hateful justices hostile to the rights of women and gay Americans.

Only 4 percent seem to have no opinion of his performance.

LOSER!





But Trump is underwater on almost every other issue. Just 35 percent approve of his handling of his role as commander in chief; 34 percent approve of his handling of North Korea; 33 percent approve of his handling of the mass shooting in Las Vegas; and 30 percent approve of Trump’s handling of NFL players protesting during the National Anthem.
