WASHINGTON (CNN)President Donald Trump's approval rating has fallen 6 points in the last month and stands at a new low among political independents, according to a new CNN Poll conducted by SSRS.

That's 4 points below his previous 2018 low of 35% approval among political independents in CNN polling, and 1 point below his previous all-time low among independents in CNN polling, reached in November 2017.

Trump's numbers have slipped amid the release of an op-ed in The New York Times and reports about the Bob Woodward book that will be released Tuesday. Both paint a picture of a White House in chaos, with staffers actively thwarting the President's agenda. A majority of Americans say the writer of the op-ed, an unnamed senior administration official, ought to publicly identify themselves (58% say so), and 55% think it is inappropriate for an administration official to work against the agenda of the president for whom he or she works.

There are sharp partisan splits on both questions, with about 8 in 10 Republicans calling it inappropriate for a White House official to act against the president. About half of independents and about a third of Democrats say such behavior is inappropriate. Similarly, 85% of Republicans, 55% of independents and 43% of Democrats say the writer of the op-ed ought to identify themselves..........................................

1. It would be even lower were it not for Faux News and hate radio

Reagan knew was he was doing (or rather, knew a 'good' thing when he saw it).

3. Sweden and Germany proved the racist base is no more than 18% anywhere in the Western

world where Fox propaganda does not exist...in America reaching for 30%... the difference is the unrelenting hate speech allowed to be broadcast.

4. +1

As Goebbels understood so well.

[mountain grammy]

6. Yep!

[Fred Sanders]

2. Calling Rasmussen! Calling Rasmussen...and where are the other fake R polls, time is short, there is

another election to steal!

P.s. And I think folks want the op-ed writer to identify themselves because it would be fun, not thinking of what the op-ed said...the guy he is working for is insane. Maybe the poll question should have been:

If the president is clearly insane do you believe anyone writing an op- ed opposing the insane one should reveal themselves?

7. if the blue wave manifests in Nov

I guarantee you Ras will show a precipitous drop in approval ratings in the day or two following the election. In fact, I bet they start lowering it at least some in the days before the election.

5. Good! Still waaay too damn high though :-(

8. 31% w independents.

We'll see if these independents get their independent assess to the polls.

9. Hard times for the GOP

Their orange albatross is putting on weight.

[Equinox Moon]

10. What I want to know is how in the world do these polls change anyway?

Who the hell would fluctuate in their opinion on the worst president in history? It seems clear to me and has always been clear to me.

Who the hell are these people that fluctuate? What is wrong with these people?

11. Stop bothering us with all of the opinion polls

Let me know when he drops below 27%.
