Overall, 34 percent of Americans approve of Trump's job performance

AP-NORC poll: Shutdown drags Trump approval to yearlong low

A strong majority of Americans blame President Donald Trump for the record-long government shutdown and reject his primary rationale for a border wall, according to a new poll that shows the turmoil in Washington is dragging his approval rating to its lowest level in more than a year.

Overall, 34 percent of Americans approve of Trump’s job performance in a survey conducted by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. That’s down from 42 percent a month earlier and nears the lowest mark of his two-year presidency. The president’s approval among Republicans remains close to 80 percent, but his standing with independents is among its lowest points of his time in office. - AP

His floor is usually 38%, but it can worse. His wounds are all self-inflicted which makes the even more remarkable.

MS-13 gang members, child sex traffickers and terrorists. So it's actually higher.
