http://www.cnn.com/2017/08/07/politics/poll-trump-approval-down-amid-distrust/index.html(CNN)Six months into his presidency, Donald Trump's overall approval rating stands at its lowest point in CNN polling, while three-quarters of Americans say they can't trust most of what they hear from the White House.
Overall, 38% say they approve of Trump's handling of the presidency, according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS, with 56% saying they disapprove. Just one other newly-elected president has held an approval rating below 50% at this point in his presidency since modern polling began: Bill Clinton, whose approval rating stood at 44% at this point in 1993.
Enthusiasm breaks against Trump by a 2-to-1 margin. Nearly half in the new poll say they strongly disapprove of Trump's handling of the job (47%), while just a quarter say they feel strongly positive about Trump's performance (24%).

about politics. But, each of them, at some time, will happen to catch some crazy thing Trump does. so, it will take time for more to do this. It's trending down - which is great

this nation, or else they will just move on to the next obnoxious republican without learning anything from thier mistake if they perceive it as such .
Some could be changing to disapprove because he didn't kill Obamacare, there are still Mexican and Muslim looking people around, or he didn't use his secret plan to defeat ISIS yet.
