Fox News Poll: Trump Approval Rating Plummets To New Low

More bad news for Donald Trump – and this comes from the very Trump-friendly Fox News.

The Trumpster’s job approval rating dropped to a new Fox News poll low of only 38%, down 4 points from last month’s 42%.

Additionally, his disapproval rating jumped up 4 points to a high of 57%.

Interestingly, among those Trump has lost favor with are white men without a college degree. Trump dropped 12 points in one month in that particular demographic, and they were a big part of his election win.

White evangelicals are also taking a dimmer view of the president as he plummets 8 points from last month’s poll to only 56% of those voters giving him a thumbs up. On election night last November, he got 80% of their vote.

Voters also give the Trump administration negative ratings regarding how it responded to the Puerto Rico hurricane (-32), mass shooting in Las Vegas (-23), and the California wildfires (-21).

Democrats Lead Republicans In Generic House Poll 51%-37%

A new CNN poll has good news for the Democrats regarding the 2018 election cycle.

Dems have a 14 percentage point lead over Republicans in a generic House ballot.

Of those surveyed, 51% say they would cast a ballot for the Democrat in their district; 37% say they would vote for the Republican.

Also, while 88% of Repubs say they would vote for the GOP candidate in their congressional district, while nearly all – 98% – of Democrats say they plan to vote for the Dem candidate.

Currently, Republicans control the House with a 240 seat majority. Dems will need to flip 24 seats in the 2018 midterms to regain the majority. There are 23 GOP House members in districts won by Hillary Clinton in 2016.

The same poll shows Donald Trump’s approval rating languishing at a low 37%.

Survey: Trump Has Lost Support In Every State Since Inauguration

Bad news for Donald Trump in the latest Morning Consult survey which shows Trump’s approval rating has failed to improve in a single state since Inauguration Day. And that includes those states he won easily last November

Based on 472,032 interviews of registered voters across each state and Washington, D.C., over 8 months from January 20 to September 26, and the survey provides insight into how Trump’s approval has changed each month since Inauguration Day.

That’s a very large survey sample, not just a few thousand.

Just a few samples from the survey:

In states where Trump won by the thinnest of margins, his approval has dropped significantly. This should really concern Team Trump as there will be no reelection if this trend continues:

• Michigan: -22% net percentage point change
• Wisconsin: -18%
• Pennsylvania: -16%
• North Carolina: -18%
• Arizona: -26%

Where Trump’s approval has dropped most since January:

• Illinois: -30 net percentage point change
• New York: -30%
• District of Columbia: -29%

Where Trump is most popular:

• Wyoming: +26% net approval
• West Virginia: +24%
• Alabama: +23%

Where Trump is least popular:

Donald Trump Has Dismal Average Approval Rating Of 36%

As Donald Trump reaches Day 200 of his presidency, it’s interesting to note how he’s faring in terms of Approval/Disapproval.

FiveThirtyEight averages the latest polls tracking how Americans feel about Trump’s performance. And the news isn’t good.

Trump currently has an aggregated 36% approval rating, coupled with 57.5% disapproval.

Compare that with both Presidents Obama and George W. Bush who averaged about 55% approval at their 200-day mark.

Throw in Bill Clinton’s 41% approval, George H.W. Bush’s 67% approval, and Reagan’s 59% approval, and you get a sense at how dismal Trump’s numbers are.
