A Quinnipiac University poll conducted June 5-9, for example, found that only 38 percent of Americans approve of the job Trump has done as president, while 54 percent disapprove — a -16-point job performance rating.
An Economist/YouGov poll published this week also showed souring numbers for Trump, with only 40 percent of respondents giving him positive numbers and 54 percent saying they disapproved of him — a -14-point rating, his lowest yet for that poll since the president was inaugurated.
Two other polls were also the worst yet in Trump’s second term. A Gallup poll from earlier this month found Trump with a -17-point job performance rating, while a Bullfinch Group poll found him with a -13-point rating.
At RealClearPolitics, which averages an aggregate of polling data from various sources, Trump’s numbers are not the worst they’ve ever been. But as of Thursday, his average poll rating is at a net -4.1 points, whereas just a month ago it was -2.3 points. At the beginning of February, Trump had a +3.5 point job performance rating recorded on the website, indicating that, since the start of his second term to this week, the average poll has shifted negatively for Trump by 7.6 points.
Almost scared to ask…what did it take to make them the worst they’ve ever been?
