Trump’s Approval Rating Drops to Lowest Level Yet in New NBC News/WSJ Poll
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump’s job approval rating has declined to the lowest point of his presidency, and nearly half of voters want their vote in the 2018 midterms to be a message for more Democrats in Congress to check Trump and congressional Republicans, according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.
Thirty eight percent of Americans say they approve of Trump’s job performance — down five points since September — while 58 percent disapprove.
Trump’s previous low in approval in the national NBC/WSJ poll was 39 percent back in May.
“This is his worst showing of his young presidency so far,” said Democratic pollster Fred Yang of Hart Research Associates, who conducted this survey with Republican pollster Bill McInturff and his team at Public Opinion Strategies.
The drop for Trump has come from independents (who shifted from 41 percent approval in September to 34 percent now), whites (who went from 51 percent to 47 percent) and whites without a college degree (from 58 percent to 51 percent).

To be honest here, I have seen his numbers dropping since before the election and, yet, the GOP and, Congress are still defending him, I believe that the GOP has become the party of Trump. This is truly sad.
Sorry Galen, I love ya buddy, but I am so sick of this 'Trump's numbers are dropping' nonsense. Trump's numbers have been holding steady for a very long time now, and they still are. 4 out of 10 Americans approve of the job he is doing. What Trump stands for does not represent the majority of who we are, but it is a big part of us. We are, to a significant degree, greedy, selfish, ignorant, unintelligent people.
