8/16: Trump at Lowest Point With 35% Job Approval Rating Crack at the Base
Source: Marist Poll
President Donald Trump’s job approval rating is at its lowest point since taking office with only 35% of Americans giving him a positive score. 55% disapprove of the job he is doing which is his highest negative rating as president. Although still popular among his key constituency, notably, his job performance rating has dropped among strong Republicans from 91% in June to 79% now. In addition, by more than two to one, Americans who strongly disapprove of his job performance, 42%, outnumber those who strongly approve, 20%. In June, his overall approval rating stood at 37%, and 51% disapproved. At a similar time in President Obama’s tenure, 55% of registered voters approved of the job he was doing, and 35% disapproved.
“While Republicans are still largely in Trump’s corner, the cautionary tale for the president lies in the softening of support at his base,” says Dr. Lee M. Miringoff, Director of The Marist College Institute for Public Opinion. “Since his numbers among Democrats and independents are weak, a crack among his most ardent supporters is something Trump can ill afford.”
More Americans also have a negative impression of the president. 60% of residents, including one in five Republicans, view Trump unfavorably, representing his most unpopular standing since assuming office. Only 34% have a favorable view of him. When this question was last reported in June, Trump’s negative score was 56%, and his positive rating was 37%. There has been a drop in the proportion of strong Republicans who have a positive view of the president from 94% in June to 80% this time.
Many Americans, 60%, do not believe the president is honest and trustworthy. 37% think he is. Not surprisingly, most Democrats, 86%, think Trump is not truthful while 78% of Republicans say he is. Still, a notable 21% of the GOP think the president is deceptive. Nearly two in three independents, 64%, think the president is not trustworthy.

The guys says that people in a F-ing NAZI RALLY are "very fine people," and 3 out of 10 Americans still think he's doing a great job. The guy puts Robert E. Lee on the same moral level with George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, and 80% of Republicans (the party of LINCOLN) still think he's doing a great job.
