Iowans believe the country’s headed in the wrong direction and that President Donald Trump isn’t doing a good job.

Sixty percent of respondents to this month’s Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa Poll say the United States has gotten off on the wrong track, and 60 percent likewise disapprove of the job Trump, a Republican, is doing as president.

Trump’s 35-percent job approval rating marks a sharp decline from earlier this year in Iowa. In the July Iowa Poll, 43 percent of respondents approved of Trump’s effort, while 52 percent disapproved, a differential of 9 percentage points. Now, he’s 25 points under water.

Sixty-nine percent of women, 68 percent of Iowans making less than $50,000 a year, 67 percent of city-dwellers and 62 percent of independents disapprove of his performance.

1. -9 to -25 disapproval since July is a disaster for Republicans.

"Across all the demographics recorded in the poll, just two show a majority approving of Trump: Republicans, at 78 percent, and evangelical Christians, at 51 percent."

3. I have to think it's much higher.

People in general, and Republicans in particular, hate to publically admit when they are wrong.The real question is would they vote for another one like him.

Maybe they are slowly awakening.
