Presidential approval remains on a downward trend. Thirty-two percent of Americans say they approve of the way President Trump is handling his job and 67 percent disapprove. His approval rating is down from 42 percent in March and 35 percent in June. While 67 percent of Republicans still approve of the job the president is doing, support among Republicans has decreased significantly since March when 80 percent of Republicans expressed approval. Twenty-eight percent of independents and 5 percent of Democrats say they approve of Trump’s handling of his job. Among Democrats, this also represents a decline since March when 11 percent said they approved.

Congressional approval remains even lower. Eighteen percent of Americans say they approve of the way Congress has been handling its job and 81 percent disapprove, including 51 percent who say they strongly disapprove.

Few Americans express confidence in the direction the U.S. is headed. Just 24 percent of Americans say things in this country are headed in the right direction, down from 34 percent in June and 37 percent in March of this year.

The nationwide poll was conducted September 28-October 2, 2017 using the AmeriSpeak® Panel, the probability-based panel of NORC at the University of Chicago. Online and telephone interviews using landlines and cell phones were conducted with 1,150 adults. The margin of sampling error is plus or minus 4.1 percentage points.

Absurdly high.

 

[Betty]

Absurdly high.

But a decrease none the less, great news!

 

[SpaceWolf]

HOW

IS

IT

THAT

HIGH

 

[Gutek]

I don’t believe it. This has to be an outlier. This is way too low.

 

[StopMakingSense]

Absurdly high.

For a same-party president, its actually incredibly low.

 

[Big Blue]

That's actually insanely low.

 

[Killthee]

Party before country.

 

[Permanently A]

HOW

IS

IT

THAT

HIGH

Because black people aren't allowed to protest, anywhere, anytime, in any capacity.

 

[Forward]

67% of Republicans hate poor people, minorities, and basic human decency?

I wa shock.

 

[PeskyToaster]

Isn't that really low approval for the party to have of their party's president?

 

[Veelk]

It's only gonna rise come election time. Nothing unites the Republican party like a democrat enemy.

 

[Shard]

For a same-party president, its actually incredibly low.

Yea, this is actually really fucking bad for the Rs.

 

[Aequitas]

Trump sure does love breaking records

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

Absurdly high.

Keep in mind most of the other 33% are just mad Hillary isn’t in jail and ObamaCare still exists.

67% of Republicans hate poor people, minorities, and basic human decency?

I wa shock.

Nah, it’s 100%.

 

[Maxim726X]

For a same-party president, its actually incredibly low.

.

Guys- It was in the 90's not even a year ago. This is huge.

 

[Escape Goat]

Partisanship how does it work

 

[gabbo]

For a same-party president, its actually incredibly low.

Truly uncharted waters for this kind of thing

 

[Plinko]

That's actually insanely low.

This. It's been regularly in the 80s with republicans.

Anecdotal, but I've noticed a lot of my right-winger Facebook friends have voiced disgust about his near total disregard and lack of compassion for the Puerto Rican people.

 

[Zap Rowsdower]

HOW

IS

IT

THAT

HIGH

Because white Americans are willing to slit their own throats so long as African-Americans have it worse.

 

[chadskin]

Bush hit <67% in December 2006 after the GOP lost the House FWIW.

 

[PJV3]

Not even a year, just need a few more to accept they fucked up and then it's just the fanatics that will be left.

 

[HTupolev]

Whoa, that's actually pretty low.

 

[Aztechnology]

Because black people aren't allowed to protest, anywhere, anytime, in any capacity.

Lol they wouldn't care even if they could. It's because conservatism is most firmly entrenched in extreme levels of meritocracy bullshit. AKA things that support white supremacy.

 

[Nafai1123]

Isn't that actually a historically low approval among his party for this time in his presidency?

 

[Shard]

Yea, the Post-Maria response has been acrid like nothing else just like it was with Katrina.

 

[Mesoian]

HOW

IS

IT

THAT

HIGH

"Fuck you"
"Got Mine"

This is not shocking. Things are harder for brown people in this country now more than any time in the past decade. Which is what the majority of Trump supporters were hoping for.

 

[Neoweee]

Isn't that actually a historically low approval among his party for this time in his presidency?

Yes, but it is also an extreme outlier compared to all other recent polls. Be wary.

 

[Zolo]

Damn. That's insanely low. These stats are even worse from the same page.

Yes, but it is also an extreme outlier compared to all other recent polls. Be wary.

Yeah. This is what I'm wondering about.

 

[Rockandrollclown]

I mean that seems promising. Especially compared to the poll I saw posted this morning putting him at 88% approval with Republicans.

 

[ianpm31]

good news. Hopefully that number continues to decrease. This man will be a one term president whether he gets impeached or lose elections. He already lost the swing voters a long time ago so the rest is a bonus

 

[Cat Party]

Damn. That's insanely low. These stats are even worse from the same page.

Yeah. This is what I'm wondering about.

Lmao

 

[Gutek]

I mean that seems promising. Especially compared to the poll I saw posted this morning putting him at 88% approval with Republicans.

Yeah, this has gotta be an outlier. Statistical noise. His overall approval has been pretty steady, maybe even trending up since the end of August.

 

[Monkeyball]

A good old war will bump that back up.

 

[PR_rambo]

You guys are lying if you're shocked

 

[SolidSnakex]

Damn. That's insanely low. These stats are even worse from the same page.

Yeah. This is what I'm wondering about.

5% for Democrats? There are that many "classical liberals" out there?

 

[Dash_Riprock]

Damn. That's insanely low. These stats are even worse from the same page.

Yeah. This is what I'm wondering about.

I need to have words with those 5% of Dems.

Please tell me they're trolling/didn't hear the questions right.

 

[Plinko]

A good old war will bump that back up.

A war will actually probably drop his overall ratings into the 20s. People are sick of it.

This poll is probably an outlier, though. Way too different than others.

 

[Aztechnology]

Damn. That's insanely low. These stats are even worse from the same page.

Yeah. This is what I'm wondering about.

He's just too amazing, no polls can properly encapsulate the way Americans feel about the Donhald. It's why anyone who tries is just fake news.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

They elected him to do what he’s doing

 

[Exile20]

The fuck????? Why is this not zero?

Twenty-eight percent of independents and 5 percent of Democrats say they approve of Trump's handling of his job. Among Democrats, this also represents a decline since March when 11 percent said they approved.

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

C'mon baby, I want a sub-30 country-wide approval rating for Christmas

 

[Sobriquet]

5% for Democrats? There are that many "classical liberals" out there?

I'm assuming they're elderly Southern Democrats. Lifetime Democrats that vote Republican in every election.

 

[gutter_trash]

67% of Republicans, that is pretty considerable

 

[Fenderputty]

Absurdly high.

The reason this is news is because that's not absurdly high.

 

[Jorok Goldblade]

Now tell me what the difference in the percentage of Americans who identify as Republican is. There's probably a lot more "Independents" than there were at the start of his term.

 

[Mattlikewhoa]

It's still unfathomably high...

 

[LordRaptor]

HOW

IS

IT

THAT

HIGH

&#10004;&#65039; Not Obama

 

[Gutek]

He has stabilized the last 2 months. Nothing will take his approval down, except for maybe a war of aggression in the Middle East/Korea.

 

[rjc571]

For a same-party president, its actually incredibly low.

For an incompetent buffoon it's incredibly high
