As his Asia trip ends, Trump's approval ratings dip - hit new low
Half of Americans disapprove of his handling of foreign affairs
Presidents often return from foreign trips with a boost in approval. But that hasn’t happened for President Trump. In this week’s Economist/YouGov Poll the President’s approval rating dropped to what is now his all-time low. Just 34% of Americans approve of the way Donald Trump is handling his job; 55% disapprove.
Only 17%, matching the lowest percentage ever, say they strongly approve. More than twice as many, 43%, strongly disapprove. That also matches the highest strong disapproval percentage.
Of course, the President retains support from Republicans, three-quarters of whom approve of his performance, as do 71% of conservatives. The President also has support from those 65 and older, a majority of whom approve of his performance in office, with a third of senior citizens strongly approving.
Not only did the President’s approval rating drop this week, but so has the President’s overall favorable rating, which is also at its lowest level ever. Just in the last week, the President’s favorable rating dropped five points, while his unfavorable rating rose by four.
