Trump at 36 % approval 58 % disapproval. Near record negatives

https://poll.qu.edu/national/release-detail?ReleaseID=2456#.WRNWRZjtvwY.twitter

American voters, who gave President Donald Trump a slight approval bump after the missile strike in Syria, today give him a near-record negative 36 - 58 percent job approval rating, according to a Quinnipiac University national poll released today. Critical are big losses among white voters with no college degree, white men and independent voters.

Today's job approval rating compares to a negative 40 - 56 percent approval rating in an April 19 survey by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University and a negative 35 - 57 percent score April 4, his lowest approval rating since he became president.

The president is losing support among independent voters and groups which are important parts of his base.

"There is no way to spin or sugarcoat these sagging numbers," said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll.

"The erosion of white men, white voters without college degrees and independent voters, the declaration by voters that President Donald Trump's first 100 days were mainly a failure and deepening concerns about Trump's honesty, intelligence and level headedness are red flags that the administration simply can't brush away," Malloy added.

Reminder that this is the honeymoon phase. Approval rating in the 20s absolutely no longer out of the question by year's end.

Still too high.

 

[Kart94]

36 percent are doofuses. wonder what he is doing so far that could be approved by 36 percent? Must be lovers of golf

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Healthcare is slaughtering the GOP

Surprise surprise

 

[Nafai1123]

Won't be happy until it's 0%.

 

[tedtropy]

Half my family: "Oh you mean like those polls that said he was never going to be President?! #MAGA #deepstate"

 

[Mael]

It's probably going to need a war to convince some of his idiot base...

 

[Bronx-Man]

Dude could seriously reach 20's by the end of the year.

 

[Alcotholic]

I hope he gets angry.

 

[sphagnum]

Let's see how the Comey situation affects it in a couple days.

Remember, this is before the Comey shit storm.

Doing away with everything Obama did.

 

[2Smashed4U]

He'll never get below a 27%

That's the floor. Once he gets there, that's when you know he's fucked.

nice

 

[cdyhybrid]

We need to make him politically radioactive so GOP legislators are compelled to obstruct him.

 

[Aurongel]

His numbers dipped below 40% from certain pollsters at the height of the AHCA debacle so these numbers aren't hugely shocking. Reading some of the specifics of this one now...

 

[Foffy]

Put this poll on a news show so the orange con man can yell at the screen like he is with the Russia story.

 

[Ray Down]

Generic ballot is D+16

 

[Flying Toaster]

This is all calculated before the Comey incident. I can see him dipping to high 20's now before the mental breakdown.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Generic ballot is D+16

The biggest margin a party has ever had in a Q poll apparently.

Incoming a wave unlike we've ever seen

 

[CopperPuppy]

Maybe he thinks it's like golf.

Also before the new CBO score comes out for the AHCA.

Staggeringly low.

That's kind of nuts.

This is the number that's going to make Congressional Republicans shit their pants.

Single-issue anti-gun control or anti-choice voters. Christian voters who want a theocracy and appreciate the failed anti-Muslim and vapid religious freedom EOs. People who think science is a liberal conspiracy. People with religious faith in the free market.

That was about the average during the 2006 midterms, although Quinnipiac's numbers were more conservative (and reflected the results better) at 9% or so.

 

[Loxley]

Dude could seriously reach 20's by the end of the year.

Totally. And the thing is I can't envision any scenario, baring a complete and utter change of character, that would ever bring his approval ratings above 40-45% again. Especially since, when he's angry, Trump seems to act even more irrationally. So we're just caught in this perpetual cycle of the media calling Trump out anytime he says or does does anything stupid, and Trump saying or doing something stupid in response to the media calling him out.

Making the democrats pull their hair out. Most of his voters,don't care what happens to them selves as long as they can say " take that, liberal cucks!"

 

[iavi]

Yeah, we're gonna see some flipfloppers if these continue

His polling average is routinely in the low 40s.

If it is just Republican vs Democrat on the ballot, 16% more people will vote Democrat?

 

[Sweeney Tom]

By a 54 - 38 percent margin, American voters want the Democratic Party to win control of the U.S. House of Representatives. This is the widest margin ever measured for this question in a Quinnipiac University poll, exceeding a 5 percentage point margin for Republicans in 2013.

If Democrats had won control of the U.S. Senate in the 2016 elections, the country would be in a better place than it is now, 41 percent of voters say, while 27 percent say it would be in a worse place and 30 percent say it would be the same.

American voters dislike Democrats less than they dislike Republicans:
Voters disapprove 71 - 22 percent of the way Republicans in Congress do their job;
Voters disapprove 58 - 34 percent of the way Democrats in Congress are doing their job.

.

Ed: This has widened from 10 percent D advantage just from the GA-6 election last month.

Can someone explain this. Never mind looked up

 

[balladofwindfishes]

This is the number that's going to make Congressional Republicans shit their pants.

If the entire country swings 16 points to Democrats, we win both the House and Senate and like everything in the states.

This should have the entire GOP shaking in their boots.

Couple posts up.

Wow. If there are similar or even stronger Dem numbers as we approach the 2018 midterms, we're going to see Republicans use every trick in the book to suppress voters.

I wonder if the increased negativity surrounding the healthcare bill and Trump in general will help Ossoff win the run-off election.

 

[DonShula]

My suspicion is that the Comey firing will be a wash for these purposes. True Believers will support it and the rest will disapprove as they have been.

 

[Skinny Pete]

36% too high but we are getting there.

This is why I think the Republicans will eventually turn on Trump. They're going to turn on Trump in order to save face.

Agreed

#notgoodenough

 

[bufkus]

His approval rating is way too high and disapproval rating way too low.
I hope these numbers will continue to tank. 80%+ disapproval shouldn't be out of the realm of possibility by year's end.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

+16?!?! christ

 

[Slayven]

 

[Sephzilla]

His approval rating is way too high and disapproval rating way too low.

I really wish posts like these would stop. Trump's current approval/disapproval ratings are historically bad for this early into a presidency.

 

[7Th]

It can't fall below 30% due to the broken party over country mentality of most republicans, but once it's consistently within that margin across most pollsters he is fucked.
