Just 36% say they approve of the job President Trump is doing, a 5-point drop from last month, according to the latest IBD/TIPP poll. Fifty six percent disapprove of Trump's job performance, up from 53% the month before.
The drop in Trump's approval rating comes after a spate of bad news, including the conviction of his former campaign chairman on eight counts of fraud and a guilty plea on campaign finance charges by Trump's former lawyer, which sparked a torrent of impeachment talk. Trump also caught flak for his handling of Sen. John McCain's passing.
The sharp decline also comes with the midterm elections now just over two months away.
The broader IBD/TIPP Presidential Leadership Index plunged 11.6% to 40.4. That's one of the biggest monthly drops since IBD started tracking this index in January 2000. The proprietary Leadership Index combines results from several questions on approval, favorability and strength of leadership.

(14,565 posts)3. I don't know what happened on August 29th
But in looking at the approval polls on 538, the one commonality seems to be a drop in Trump approval among polls that include August 29th.
Not all of them -- Rasmussen, cough -- but a significant majority. Even the YouGov polls dipped into the high 30s more often than not, if they include August 29th

He said the ABC poll was but a single poll.
He is wrong, yet again.
