CNN: Poll: Trump's approval rating down to 33%

(CNN)Just 33% of American voters approve of how President Donald Trump is performing as president, a new Quinnipiac University poll has found.

The findings mark Trump's lowest approval rating and highest disapproval rating in the Quinnipiac poll. Sixty-one percent of respondents say they disapprove of the President's performance, with 55% of people saying they strongly disapprove -- the highest share of respondents yet.

Trump's numbers declined more among Republicans than they did among Democrats, who had already viewed the President unfavorably. In late June, 84% of Republicans approved of Trump's performance -- now, 76% of Republicans say the same. Seventeen percent of Republicans now say they disapprove of the way Trump is performing in the job.

The President also reached new lows on a number of other measures. The poll found that 63% of voters say they don't believe Trump has good leadership skills and that he does not share their values. Sixty-two percent do not believe that the President is honest, and just 26% say he is level-headed. The findings are the worst yet for Trump in the Quinnipiac poll.

His enemies just make those numbers up. Trump says he has the highest ratings ever of any president since Abraham Lincoln. His ratings are bigly. Got it?

Will start shutting up completely whilst democrats start the impeachment process. Then they are just bystanders to the inevitable. Remember, for the most part impeachment is totally a political process. You don't necessarily need a crime. Crimes, or mistermeaners could be anything

about politics and world affairs. Makes for boring conversations - but it is a fact.

If they hear something it might be every month or two at the most.

I see this steady downward trend as a great sign. And, it will go down more as apolitical types eventually hear more and more about how crazy this lunatic "president" is.

For these type people, we can only hope they watch the late night comedians
