Democrats have 15 point edge in generic House vote
West Long Branch, NJ - Donald Trump's current job approval rating is the lowest registered in the Monmouth University Poll since he took office, with the biggest drop coming from independent women. Most voters think that the president has not been successful at moving his agenda through Congress and feel his decision to move the U.S. embassy in Israel will destabilize the Middle East. Monmouth's initial generic House ballot match-up for the 2018 election finds Democrats holding a 15 point advantage over Republicans.
Pres. Trump's current job rating stands at a net negative 32% approve and 56% disapprove. This marks his lowest rating in Monmouth's polling since taking office in January. Prior polls conducted over the course of the past year showed his approval rating ranging from 39% to 43% and his disapproval rating ranging from 46% to 53%.
The decline in Trump's job rating has come much more from women - currently 24% approve to 68% disapprove - than from men - currently 40% to 44%. In September, Trump had a 36%-55% rating among women and a 44%-42% rating among men.
The gender gap in the president's rating crosses party lines. Republican women (67%) are somewhat less likely than Republican men (78%) to give Trump a positive rating. These results are down by 9 points among GOP women since September and by 5 points among GOP men since the fall. The biggest drop has occurred among independent women - just 14% currently approve of Trump's job performance, which is down by 25 points since September. Among independent men, 31% approve of Trump, down 10 points. Democrats' ratings of Trump have held steady at just 8% approval among Democratic men and 7% among Democratic women.

In the foreign policy arena, the president's decision to move the U.S. embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem is not all that popular with the American public............................

(2,640 posts)Her reason was she was "tired of the constant Clinton scandals", and pointed to the fact that Trump went a couple days without insulting anyone as proof of his potential to handle the job.
It was so ridiculous, it's stuck out in my mind.
