Republicans = garbage
Republican spin: "Trump continues to make history as President"
He doesn't believe in polls. Just ratings. And he had more than 9/11, so all's good.

Bush's floor was 24%. Time to see if Trump can get that low.
Also like the recent article showing that Trump's boasting of the economy is overstated as usual
Both Bush Sr & Obama had a more thriving economy under their terms at the same point.

When Joe Scaraborough (spelling is most likely wrong) came out a few weeks ago saying he was leaving the Republican party and becoming independent, I was really confused why he was getting praised for it. His viewpoints if i'm remembering right, didn't change-he just didn't want to be associated with the current GOP. Oh well.
That was well into his 2nd term afaik. By then America had serious Bush fatigue.
I'm gonna guess that fatigue level will be matched much much sooner with Trump though, hopefully before 2020.

33% approval...? How is that even possible?
Staggering, but to not even reach 80% among the brainwashed is impressively shitty.
It shouldn't be but racism, White supremacy, complete selfishness and indifference to others, and just out right terrible people are a plenty in America.
I know that even when I was a Republican back in the day there is no way I would back this man. Even if I was willing to give him a chance I would have bailed by now because I have always actually had respect for my country and the office.

I whinny my fervor lowly, for his length is not as great as those of the Hylian war stallions
It's why it's so important for those who are not piles of shit, to get out and vote. Since I still believe good people outnumber them.
Also, I guess that means 61% of Americans approve of the job Trump is not doing! </Colbert>
Conditioning as well as most people not actually being affected by anything he's done yet.

It looks like his aggregate on fivethirtyeight has never been above 48%. I'm feeling that Trump will run away with the most consecutive weeks below 50%.

I'm sure we can go lower

This is actually very, very bad, in terms of modern politics.
(also you have to think about how many Republicans who are put off by Trump might self-identify as Independent for the purposes of these polls.

Well, at least he finally accomplished something

This is key as well. He's steadily heading into numbers where he could be primaried in 2020.

That's still an eight point drop over the last month.
Plus, as others have pointed out, this doesn't take into effect the number of people who previously identified as Republican who now call themselves Independents or Libertarians now to distance themselves from Trump.

Two things:
1) it's REALLY rare for presidents to drop by that much with members of their own party. That is not good for Trump.
2) that number could actually be lower if Republicans don't tell pollsters they're Republicans because they disapprove of Trump.
EDIT: Also the other numbers in this poll suggest Trump has an actual base of like 25%. So that many people will probably still stick with him regardless.

Still too high but I'll take it. I hope his ratings continue to fall.
In this particular poll Bush 2 hit 28/67. Not sure about others.

Is this the fastest it's fallen for any sitting president to that number?

these things will count when he finally gets booed off stage at his own rallies
Bill Clinton fell pretty good due to one of his "scandals". I think travelgate.

Because most Republicans are brainwashed idiots and/or total scum.
100. Do you know how percentages work?

33% out of 50? Hey, that's 66%!
Trump most popular president ever confirmed (ignore Dubya's 90% after 9/11)
Yea this is whats confusing to me regarding polls. Still pretty high for Republicans, so I guess they are the minority that participate in these polls? I'd imagine a lot more democrats are participating...its the only way the numbers add up for me.
He also has terrible approval ratings among independents.
Just sarcasm. Settle down.
My bad.
Ahhh, I only read the OP and not the link to be honest. That makes more sense.
Watch Fox News for 90 minutes, then realize that's the only place many Republicans get their news and commentary.
(Actually, Fox News is the least stupid part of what you'd consider modern "conservative media", because they still have enough sense to pretend to be a real news organization and not make up facts wholesale.)

Eh, still not seeing any movement in his numbers. They've always been in the low 30s. The lowest I've seen is 32%. This was months ago. The sad thing is, his poll numbers look pretty steady. Of course they're not good, but it shows idiots that support him are really dedicated.
