Trump's Approval Rating Drops to New Low of 36%

I want to know where all the "he's just doing what he said he was going to do!" people are at now, because he's not even doing that.
 
If the budget and tax reform are as bungled as everything else him, his goons and the GOP have tried to do since Trump took power I expect it to be in the 20's by the time Summer rolls around.

It was 41% in the 3-day period prior to the Friday healthcare bill cancelled vote. It dropped to 36% now, which is an all-time low (previously, his all-time low was 37% in the 3-day period of March 16-18th).

So, it dropped 5%, not 1%, in that 3 day period.

My point was only 1% drop from last week after being announced under investigation by the FBI and botching the medical bill.. it is interesting that his approval rating went up throughout the week even after the hearing..
 
Considering that Trump probably has a floor at 25% of irredeemable racists/ misogynistic White Nationalists, still 11% too high.

I'm thinking there's a little bit of sympathy with R's who think the Russia stuff is just Dem sour grapes/conspiracies, so it may lift things slightly for him when it gets in the news, feeling he's being 'unfairly' attacked.

Margin of error, rolling day averages. His approval rating could have plumetted 15% yesterday, but you wouldn't know, because the three-day rolling average in this case only shows a 5% drop.

See it like this:

Day 1: 50% approval (3-day rolling average: 50%)
Day 2: 50% approval (3-day rolling average: 50%)
Day 3: 50% approval (3-day rolling average: 50%)
Day 4: 20% approval (3-day rolling average: 40%)

In a 3-day rolling average, you would see that his approval saw a 10% drop (from 50% to 40%), when the data actually saw a 30% drop for that day. Now I'm not saying his approval rating did drop a lot, but you can't tell from the data provided. A 5% drop in a 3-day rolling average is huge nonetheless, unless they were overestimating (margin of error/outliers) to begin with.

Give it time. The guy hasn't even passed his first 100 days and his ratings are already lower than Obama and Clinton's lowest points.
 
Wait so Orange Fuhrer failed to fuck people over, and his approval decreased? Must be salty Republicans.

I don't see it hitting below 25% under any circumstance besides absolutely and concrete evidence that he personally was involved in illegal negotiations with Russia before he was sworn into office. And even then, only if the Republican's in the House/Senate get on board with the evidence and don't try to label it as "Liberal lies" or some other crap.

But I mean, this scenario isn't seeming overly unlikely, so, it might just be a matter of time now.

Like I've said in other threads, there is always a hard floor of conservatives that would rather die than see a liberal succeed at anything.

I wouldn't really expect anything under 25% under any circumstance.
 
So his rabid cult of personality who worships him and everything he does is one freaking third of the US population!?

I agree with you, the people he is losing now are the moderate gop. He will still have his far to large core group no matter what

I was referring to the poster's lamenting that we're still 11 points above 25 percent. I think we can get there. I agree with both of you that there's a floor that Trump is unlikely to go below. I think Bush is a good model to look to. At his worst in the tail end of his second term, how low did his approval go?

I think this is more than likely demonstrating that there's a fairly set floor unless some really bad stuff goes down just simply because around 40% of people probably aren't even paying attention enough to know that you're terrible and/or will support you no matter what.

It seems like even Republicans are breaking ranks to hate him.
 
I wonder if this dip was caused by his lack of ability to pass healthcare overhaul, the fact that the ACHA was awful and he still wanted it passed, or a combo of both. I would imagine passing a bill that would kill his constituents would be worse, but I figured not doing anything woukd upset the far right of the base who've been sold a bill of goods the last 6 years.

George W bottomed out at 25% approval.

I imagine it is from those people that believe Obamacare is the devil, and him not getting rid of it soured them. There are people that just want Obamacare gone, for no real reason other than Obama created it
 
Failing to deliver on a primary campaign promise does that.
 
1. FBI investigating trump campaign for possible treason
2. Failure to repeal and replace obamacare, a massive campaign promise.

I'd say it's a huge win for Trump to through a week like that and only lose 1 percent.
