Today's Gallup: Trump's approval rating continues to nosedive.
Talking Points Memo:
President Donald Trump’s approval rating continued to drop Wednesday in Gallup’s daily presidential poll.
According to the polling company, 35 percent of respondents approved of Trump’s performance in office, down from the 36 percent approval published on Monday and Tuesday. Fifty-nine percent of respondents disapproved of his performance, beating the previous high of 57 percent on March 18.
Trump’s net approval is now at negative 24 percent, down from record of negative 21 percent set on March 18.
Gallup arrives at its numbers by averaging its previous three days of polling. Wednesday’s numbers reflect polling conducted since Sunday, two days after House Republican leadership pulled a bill to repeal and replace Obamacare, citing lack of support within their own caucus.

Terrible RATINGS. ..
fluctuate within a couple points (and there's the margin of error) so I find it hard to get terribly excited. What I look for is a downward trend of Trump's approval #s over a couple weeks.
IMO it's longer term that really matters otherwise it's too much of an emotional rollercoaster at least for me... of course YMMV... some people enjoy the 'ride'.
