CNN Poll: Trump approval slides, matches lowest point of presidency

Source: CNN

WASHINGTON (CNN)President Donald Trump's approval rating in a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS stands at 35%, down five points over the last month to match his lowest level yet.

The slide follows a January bump in approval for the President, a finding that appeared connected to a bullish stock market and strong reviews for the economy. His new rating matches a December poll, which marked his lowest approval rating in CNN polling since taking office in January 2017.

The President also earns his lowest rating yet among Republicans, though he is still viewed positively among his own partisans. Overall, 80% of self-identified Republicans say they approve of the President, one point below his previous low mark of 81%, hit in late September of last year. Just 13% of Republicans say they disapprove of the President's performance. Approval for the President stands at just 5% among Democrats and 35% among independents.

...snip...

Beyond partisan divides, the President's ratings continue to be marked by sharp divisions by gender, race and age. Among women, just 29% approve of the way Trump is performing, compared with 42% approval among men. Only about one in five Americans under age 35 approve of the President (22%), compared with 43% approval among those age 50 or older. And while 42% of whites approve of the way Trump is handling his job, just 23% of non-whites agree.

I don't get it, but some women remain unenlightened and accepting of oppression. For some on the right it's all about abortion.

"He says if I voted for the Democrats I'll cancel out his vote," she told me. "It's a secret ballot, you know," I said, "He'll never know how you voted." "Oh, yes he will. He just knows these kinds of things," she told me in all earnestness.

But women also fought the 19th amendment and put the brakes on the ERA. Not the majority, but enough.

Must still be a lot of people out there who care more about annoying libs than they do about improving the lives of future generations. Only explanation I can come up with.

for a minority, the full on rightwingers who now make up the GOP, Party identity takes priority over everything.
They cannot bring themselves to say they disapprove. He should be well below 30% but i doubt the polls will ever reflect that.

And welcome to DU.

thank dog. I was in shock when approval supposedly went up a few points last month. Whhhhhhyyyy? He just scammed most 'Muricans and looted the Treasury with his insane tax cuts. I wondered whether people were really so stupid.

This is much better.

They control the "news" in 50% of the country. Until their propaganda outlet is completely gone it will be the same. We should boycott Fux like we are doing the NRA. When Bill-O the clown was ousted it was due to boycotts. That is the only thing that effects anything anymore...$$$$$$$$$$$$$$!
