"SNIP......
Donald Trump's approval rating has reached the lowest point of his 11-month-long presidency, dropping to 32 percent this week as his embattled White House administration has shrugged off allegations of sexual assault, collusion with Russia and ineffective leadership. The president's disapproval rating was 63 percent in the Pew Research Center survey released Thursday, a new high for the survey.
The results mark Trump's lowest approval rating in any poll since he was sworn into office in January in front of a smaller than expected crowd. The Pew poll said Trump's approval rating had decreased from February, when he was at 39 percent. In October, the president saw a 34 percent approval rating. Meanwhile, just 59 percent said they disapproved of the former reality-TV star in Pews October survey, the previous high mark for that measurement.
"Since Trump became president, his job approval ratings have been more polarized than past presidents during their first year in office. That remains the case today, but his job ratings are lower today among Republicans than they were in February," Pew said in its report.
Various probes into Trump's potential connections to Russia haven't helped his popularity. Roughly 59 percent of Americans said collusion between Russia and the president's campaign ahead of the 2016 election "definitely or probably occurred." About 30 percent said "senior Trump officials definitely had improper contacts with Russia during the campaign."

Now there are a few people in the bubble who see tax cuts for the rich and up on the middle class as a bait and switch. A few souls can tell others their health care is gone. This is a crack in the base.

These numbers would be terrible, but unfortunately for trump these numbers dont matter. He was elected with that much unpopularity. His 30% based is solid and they are the people who normally vote. You take the other 70%...1/3 doesnt vote and another 1/3 would still vote for him even if they dont like him because he is a Republican.

Unfortunately, he's still President.
