Gallup arrives at its approval numbers by averaging the previous three days of polling. Monday’s percentages come from responses made August 11-13, during and following the deadly white nationalist rally in Charlottesville.
Gallup’s most recent poll was released shortly after Trump finally condemned the “white supremacists and other hate groups” responsible for planning the Charlottesville rally.
Gallup tracks the percentage of Americans who approve and disapprove of the President’s performance in office every day, based on telephone interviews with approximately 1,500 national adults, according to the company. The poll’s margin of error is 3 percentage points.
He’s going to hit the deplorable floor pretty damn soon.
1/3 of the Country is too stupid / racist to not support Hair Furor.
Sad!
Trump will brag about!it. “it’s the fastest anyone has ever gotten to 61. Nobody can believe it!”
Who are these 34%???
Eh… let’s wait until gas hits four bucks a gallon again and revisit this notion.
Americans’ daily lives are mostly going pretty well right now, or at least as well as they were six months ago. That Trump has managed to become so unpopular in spite of that is the real story here.
