***** BREAKING ***** Trump Approval Plunges To 34% *





Just 34% of the public approve of the job President Trump is doing, as his support among Republicans and independents tumbles, according to the April IBD/TIPP poll. Fifty six percent disapprove of the job he's doing. Approval ratings for a president haven't been this low President Bush's last months in office.

Last month, 40% of independents approved of the job Trump is doing; just 29% approve today. Among Republicans, Trump's job approval is 74%, which represents a 14-point decline from last month.

The latest IBD/TIPP poll was taken from March 24-30, and includes responses from 904 people across the country, giving it a margin of error of +/-3.3 percentage points.

Of course, since he wants to run the government as a subsidiary of the Rump Organization, that's probably to be expected.

LOSER.

At this rate, he could be a lame duck president by late June.

The one thing he should be investing all his time and energy in to pass any legislation-- forming a coalition of both moderate and extremist GOP members-- is simply another sandcastle for him to kick down.

nothing like a war to make a president popular, or so goes conventional wisdom.

Mon Apr 3, 2017, 02:58 PM

The reason it was good news that he fell so low is because it indicated that when he rebounded he probably wouldn't rebound beyond the high 30s. And that does seem to be the case, at least for now.

He lost significant support among his strongest backers: white men (which dropped from 58% in March to 49% today), and rural America, which went from 56% to 41% today.

To throw their support behind a Republican president running about 30% in the polls. It may not be such a wise move?
