Trump's job approval rating drops 3 points in NPR poll

President Trump

Trump’s approval rating stands at 39 percent, down 3 percentage points from last month, according to a new poll released Friday.

The NPR–PBS NewsHour–Marist poll found that 39 percent of American adults approve of Trump’s job performance, compared to 53 percent who disapprove. Eight percent of respondents were unsure.

That rating is a 3-point drop from his 42 percent approval rating the same day last month, which is his personal best in the Marist poll.

Trump's approval ratings throughout his presidency have been historically low compared to past commanders in chief, though recent surveys have shown his figures climbing into the mid-40s — just in time for the midterm elections.

The new poll found that 85 percent of self-identified Republicans said they approved of Trump’s job as president, compared to 11 percent who disapproved. Only 4 percent said they were unsure.

1. I saw one yesterday that measured "strongly disapprove" and it was tipped toward that...

...in the Republicans who disapproved.

2. It's a start.

Only 39 more points to go until it's defensible.

4. All things considered, it should be around

1-2% and consist only of the most moronic knuckle draggers out there. Very disheartening to think that nearly 40% of our fellow citizens are willing to admit to approving of the terrible, embarrassing "job" (hate to even call it that) this orange pile of human excrement is doing.

7. they have been programmed

I'd like to see a poll that asks each respondent where they get their news. There is a likelihood that the approval rating will track with Fox and Limbaugh.

It might be that some small percentage of those approving of TrumPutin are simply, woefully uninformed, but I suspect the bulk of them get their news from RWNJ sources. To them, government is the enemy and must be destroyed. These are my neighbors.

5. Russians are hacking these polls. There is nothing else to explain it

Either that or we are a nation of mindless, bloodthirsty zombies.

6. I like that better than the NBC poll last week that had him at 47%

I just didn’t buy that nearly half the country approves???
