DONALD TRUMP'S APPROVAL RATING PLUMMETS TO NEW LOW AS REPUBLICANS GROW WARY AMID RUSSIA INVESTIGATION
BY TIM MARCIN ON 6/20/17 AT 10:11 AM
Another day, another low point for Donald Trump. The president's approval rating, which has proven historically bad since he took office, has sunk again.
The latest survey from CBS News out Tuesday found his approval rating had hit a new low of 36 percent, while 57 percent disapproved of the job he is doing. Trump's approval rating has declined over the last few months in the CBS News poll. Forty-three percent approved of him in early April, a number that dropped to 41 percent by late April and now has hit the new low of 36 percent in late June. The previous low for Trump was 39 percent in February.
Trump's support among Republicans might have been a factor in the drop. Seventy-two percent of GOP respondents approved of the president's job performance—which sounds like a lot, but actually represents an 11-percentage-point fall compared with April.
The poll found that the investigation into Trump's potential ties with Russia, the country that interfered in the 2016 election as it aimed to help get the GOP candidate into office, has dragged down his popularity. His firing of FBI Director James Comey and comments suggesting the move was connected to the bureau's Russia probe, as well as his near-constant focus on the investigation, might not be helping him with the American people. Just 28 percent of respondents approved of the way he's handled the probe, according to CBS, while 63 percent disapprove. About one-third said Trump's approach on the process has left them thinking less of the president. Fifty-seven percent of GOP respondents approved of Trump's handling of the Russia investigation.

Poll: Trump's Approval Down By Double Digits Among GOPers Since 100th Day
ByESME CRIBBPublishedJUNE 20, 2017, 10:41 AM EDT
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.

And remove those polyps now! 
well morally, ethically, as a rabid racist/narcissist, he's already gone lower than low....so.....who knows
They have no trouble seeing what an idiot Cheeto 45 is.
But they're using him to get the tax breaks they want, and that's all they care about. The super-wealthy could care less about Trump's Russian foolery because they don't see it as a threat to their lifestyle. Those of us who still consider ourselves in the Middle Class (whatever that is) we're the ones getting screwed 6 ways to Sunday.
We can see how Trump's followers are getting screwed, but the sad fact is that they can't see it. Or they won't until it's too late. I see this as a failure of the Democratic Party to reach out to those who needed help, going back to the days of Ronald Reagan. It's not going to change overnight, or in one decade.
