President Donald Trump's approval rating has fallen to 37% — a new low, according to a Quinnipiac University national poll released on Wednesday.

The poll found that the president is losing crucial support among Republicans, men, and white voters.

The survey of 1,056 voters from across the country found that Trump's approval among Republican voters dropped to 81%, from 91% of those surveyed in a similar Quinnipiac poll two weeks ago. His disapproval rating jumped from 5% to 14%.

The poll showed those in Trump's most supportive demographics — male and white voters — are increasingly unhappy with his performance. Forty-three percent of men approved of Trump — down from 49% in the last poll, while 44% of white voters approved, also down from 49%.

1. Is it because Trump keeps providing material for liberals to taunt them on Facebook with?

3. No, it's fake news

You know, the stuff that calls bullshit on the real fake news.

5. Real fake news is REAL

Don't ya know?


HRC lost Michigan because she didn't promise to get rid of their sharia law like Trump did

14. I know people that really believe this shit

At first you think it's funny someone is actually that stupid, then it's scary because you realize they aren't the only ones.

2. it's tuff to love a republican draft-&-tax dodging compulsive liar

You know what I mean?

4. How the hell can it be 37% ???

It should be ZERO!

[leftynyc]

6. Even Nixon never got below 29%

Neither did bush/dick. There are truly some that will die before they admit they made a mistake.

[Equinox Moon]

8. And they even have a phone that people call to poll them on.

Unbelievable.

7. Ignorance.

11. That's his base. Nihilists, Talibornagains and GOP Team Players.

The Talibornagains believe he's "God's Emissary", the GOP team players are either Randriod true believers or Birchers just want an excuse to yell "Loser" at the Democrats and Liberals, and the Nihilists just want everything to blow up, and are happy with the confusion the Drumpf administration is sowing all over the world.

As long as he's with the GOP, he'll always end up with 25% - 30% support between the Talibornagains and Team Players. As soon as he starts losing power, the Nihilists will wander off and support the next shiny destructive tool as soon as one pops up; they're never going to stick with anything but their own egos in the long run.

9. Yes but with Trump supporters they would tell you they would vote fro him again

because he is still better than anyone else...Just ask any Rrepublican
That seems to be their level of thought.

10. same low as last week with gallup, so not really a "new" low

a new low would be like 35% or 33%

[Sunlei]

12. So what.40% of Republicans voted for him & now they're ready for Pence to take over.

2% of his voters realized he lied for their vote. To late, no "do-overs".

[J_William_Ryan]

13. And again,

how anyone can support the likes of Trump remains a mystery.

15. It's not about Trump

It's a rejection of changes they have seen in the last decade or so that they don't like. Dems and most Repubs promised to continue the status quo.

Trump promised to smash the status quo, smash the establishment, reject the media, make America great again, or at least do something completely different from all the other politicians they've been hearing from.

If you don't like the way things are, vote for change. A lot of them won't like what happens to them. but they feel powerful knowing that they caused it to happen in defiance of all expectations.

It's also a major rejection of us as liberals: diversity, feminism, gay rights, transgender, environment, globalization, education, etc.

16. I can't believe it is still that high.

[riversedge]

17. Gets smelly at the bottom of the tank.

[adigal]

18. Well, there are no Dem or Independent approval to lose, so must be Repubs

Cause we all already hate him.

[Grizzled Ol Granddad]

19. Even a Fool Can Only be Fooled So Many Times

'cept in Florida, natch.

[NeoConsSuck]

20. Where is my small violin when I need it?

I am a white male, and so to my fellow white males who voted for Trump, how are all those new imaginary jobs that Trump has brought back from China? Is the rust belt experiencing full employment? Oh, and by the way, if you're not happy now, I can assure you it's only going to get worse from here on out.
