Trump Job Approval Slides to 39%
Source: Gallup
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- President Donald Trump's job approval rating has fallen to 39% amid nationwide protests about racial injustice. His ratings this year had been the best of his presidency but are now back near his term average of 40%.

The decline in approval returns the metric to a level last seen in October, shortly after the House of Representatives launched an impeachment inquiry into Trump's dealings with the Ukraine government.
Trump's latest job approval rating fell significantly among all party groups, and by similar margins among each. This includes drops of seven percentage points among Republicans (to 85%) and independents (to 39%), and nine points among Democrats (to 5%).
Republicans' approval of Trump is the lowest it has been since September 2018 (also 85%).

57% disapprove.
Trump does better on his handling of the economy, but that's declined sharply as well, from 63% in January and 58% in February to 47% now, his lowest since late 2017.

I'm waiting to see approvals around 25-27%. That's where they belong.
Those brainwashed/braindead 25% magats will never trun.
Lock him up.

Now people are FINALLY, FINALLY getting tired of him.

This year the number was as high as 49 % due to Pandemic $ 600 subsidies and economy "re-opening". That was last month: 49 %. Now 39 %. In the space of a month.
And if there is no pandemic check after July, I foresee expanded drama.

(3,258 posts)First define "handling". Politicians always take credit when things are good and get blamed when things go bad but there are so mny dynamics at work that I don't think the President has any control over it. True, i haven't taken an economics course in over fifty years but I've lived long enough to be very skeptical of most of these claims. To me the very question feeds into an uncostitutional area and reinforces the idea that the Presidency has unlimited power.

(7,947 posts)It feels like the polling has a built-in floor at that level somehow. I begin to think the polling is flawed in the form of the questions they are using or they aren't asking the right people. It is my perception of it, I know.
I am no statistician and I realize that polling is sometimes more arbitrary than the press would have us believe. That it depends as much on who commissions the poll, who they choose to respond to it, and whether they articulate the questions thoroughly.
