WASHINGTON, D.C. -- President Donald Trump's job approval rating has fallen to 39% amid nationwide protests about racial injustice. His ratings this year had been the best of his presidency but are now back near his term average of 40%.

The decline in approval returns the metric to a level last seen in October, shortly after the House of Representatives launched an impeachment inquiry into Trump's dealings with the Ukraine government.

Trump's latest job approval rating fell significantly among all party groups, and by similar margins among each. This includes drops of seven percentage points among Republicans (to 85%) and independents (to 39%), and nine points among Democrats (to 5%).

Republicans' approval of Trump is the lowest it has been since September 2018 (also 85%).

57% disapprove.

Trump does better on his handling of the economy, but that's declined sharply as well, from 63% in January and 58% in February to 47% now, his lowest since late 2017.

1. Anything above 25% is anathema to sentient beings...knuckle dragging deplorables excluded... (n/t)

[mucifer]

4. It's batshit insane that the numbers are this high

more than a third of the people think he's doing a good job

[Alacritous Crier]

8. Yep.

This is nuts and a terrible indictment on the USA.

I'm waiting to see approvals around 25-27%. That's where they belong.

Those brainwashed/braindead 25% magats will never trun.

[Lock him up.]

17. They have absolutely no objections to treating COVID-19 patients by...

... injecting disinfectant.

How sickening. 40%. 4 out of 10.

2. A little mean-spirited man with a shriveled up soul cowering in the White House.

He blew off the pandemic, people, because he was TIRED of it! Not to mention fanning the flames of these protests with his disgusting tweets.

Now people are FINALLY, FINALLY getting tired of him.

3. Let us all learn to WHINE LIKE TRUMP and tell the world about how unfair it is to us

Trump's whining is most valuable to us as a widely known fact. To just allow it to pass along unnoticed is to allow it to be effective among MAGAts.

5. Let's get him below Nixon's 24%.

[Tetrachloride]

6. Adding perspective to the story: the past 15 months

In the story, there is a pale green graph. It shows the Cheetos approval rating between 37 to 49 %, mostly around 44 percent last year. This year the number was as high as 49 % due to Pandemic $ 600 subsidies and economy "re-opening". That was last month: 49 %. Now 39 %. In the space of a month.

And if there is no pandemic check after July, I foresee expanded drama.

9. a ten percent DROP. cheers-

[thucythucy]

7. Still about 38% too high. nt

[beachbumbob]

10. need below 35% and lower consistantly, that will keep the acid flowing in the guts of the GOP

[flibbitygiblets]

11. 2nd wave of CV hitting red states and subsequent death toll coming soon

By the time we get to vote this pustule out of our house, even the dumbest of the dumb should have been impacted. Tragically, it's the only thing that seems to work.

[Steelrolled]

24. What makes you think it will work?

I'd be surprised.

[Scruffy1]

12. IMHO handling the economy shouldn't be on a poll.

First define "handling". Politicians always take credit when things are good and get blamed when things go bad but there are so mny dynamics at work that I don't think the President has any control over it. True, i haven't taken an economics course in over fifty years but I've lived long enough to be very skeptical of most of these claims. To me the very question feeds into an uncostitutional area and reinforces the idea that the Presidency has unlimited power.

13. And every time, I think HOW CAN IT STILL BE SO HIGH??? nt

[alp227]

14. Guess what else 39% of Americans do?

Stat News reported about a recent CDC online survey about adults who use cleaning products to combat coronavirus:

Thirty-nine percent had misused the cleaning products, and one quarter reported “an adverse health effect that they believed was a result” of the products.

[Lonestarblue]

15. Well, there you have Trump's 39% approval group.

[LiberalLovinLug]

16. I still think that IF we win in November it will be by the slightest margin

[Brainfodder]

18. 27% for Faith, 39% Job Approval; Republicans suck at paying attention & following current events?

Can believe anything told to them by perceived authority figures?

[Ford_Prefect]

19. I am becoming convinced that the polling will NEVER go below 39% no matter who does it.

It feels like the polling has a built-in floor at that level somehow. I begin to think the polling is flawed in the form of the questions they are using or they aren't asking the right people. It is my perception of it, I know.
I am no statistician and I realize that polling is sometimes more arbitrary than the press would have us believe. That it depends as much on who commissions the poll, who they choose to respond to it, and whether they articulate the questions thoroughly.

20. I agree it won't go down much, if any.

His cult is locked in at that number and NOTHING will budge them...even if they get Covid and go bankrupt.

[LiberalLovinLug]

21. Yawn. The only time I'd honestly be surprised is if it fell below 25%

[LanternWaste]

22. Chip, chip, chip. Drip, drip, drip

Idiot-trump will be rage-tweeting over a bucket of fried chicken tonight.

23. kR!
