President Donald Trump’s approval rating has dropped by 11 points among Republicans since his 100th day in office, according to a poll by CBS News released Tuesday.
Seventy-two percent of Republican respondents to the poll approved of Trump’s job performance, while just 9 percent of Democratic respondents approved.
That statistic represents an 11-point drop from Trump’s job approval on his 100th day in office, when 83 percent of Republicans approved of his performance (and 10 percent of Democrats did the same).
Overall, 36 percent of respondents approved of the job Trump is doing, in the President’s lowest rating in CBS News polls since his inauguration.
The CBS News poll was conducted by telephone and surveyed 1,117 adults nationwide from June 15–18, with a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.
It’s depressing to think that more than about 10% would approve of him. He’s completely nuts and one of the worst leaders/managers at any level of government.
After witnessing what’s going on in WH, it’s not surprising that almost every business he ever started went bankrupt.
Donnie’s going for the golf score approach to popularity. Low numbers win!
It is hard to imagine why anyone would approve of the job that Trump is doing: he hasn’t kept campaign promises, he’s failed at just about everything he’s tried, his regime is in chaos, and he already has a special counsel looking into his affairs. The only notable feature of Trump’s presidency has been that it has failed in under 1000 days.
This is the only approval numbers that matter. Until Trump’s numbers become toxic for elected GOPers, they will continue to carry his water and defend him. Once republican support crosses a threshold (which will vary by district or state) that put their own re-election chances at risk (and that means less than a third of the Senate this coming cycle) nothing will change.
