Kellyanne Conway Admits Trump's Ratings Are Tanking

Although Kellyanne Conway rarely says anything that could depict President Donald Trump in a negative light, the White House adviser during a recent appearance on ABC’s This Week did acknowledge that the president’s approval ratings were slipping among Republicans voters.

A Quinnipac University poll released last week showed the president’s approval rating at just 33 percent. And while the poll still showed support among Republicans as relatively strong—some 77 percent found Trump favorable—the 17 percent of Republicans who said Trump was “unfavorable” is an eight point increase from poll figures released in June.

Conway suggested that the dip in Republican support may have been voters’ way of reminding the president to stay focused and dedicated to the promises he made during his campaign, such as strengthening the economy and carrying out tax reform.

“His approval rating among Republicans and conservatives and Trump voters is down slightly. It needs to go up. They are telling him just enact your program. Don't worry about a Congress that isn't supporting legislation to get big ticket items done. And don't worry about all the distractions and diversions and discouragement that others, who are trying to throw logs in your path, are throwing your way,” she said. “Focus on the agenda. And he's doing that.”

Trump can't do anything lasting unless Congress passes legislation. That includes all the 'big ticket' items: tax reform, infrastructure, etc.
