Polls

The Hill -   President Trump’s job approval is hitting the danger zone. For the first time in his second term, his approval dipped below 40 percent in the Real Clear Politics average, slipping to 39 percent.  It’s not just one metric: His approval rating sits at a low 36 percent in CNN’s average of recent polls. And it’s hovering around 38 percent, according to Nate Silver’s Silver Bulletin...

And he’s losing ground on one of the biggest issues that won him the presidency — the economy: Just 33 percent of voters approve of how the president is handling the economy. And just 28 percent of voters approve of his handling of the cost of living.  

Nearly half of voters rate economic conditions today as “poor.”
