Trump’s approval rating negative with every pollster for first time ever
President Donald Trump’s approval rating is negative with every pollster for the first time.
As of Wednesday morning, Trump currently has an average disapproval rating of 55 percent, while 41 percent approve, according to The New York Times‘ polling aggregator.
A new poll by J.L. Partners, conducted between November 19 and 20 on 1,244 registered voters, found that 49 percent disapproved of Trump, while 41 percent approved. The poll had a margin of error of +/- 3.2 percent. The pollster’s previous poll, conducted in mid-October, showed Trump with a 46 percent approval rating.
Even Rasmussen Reports – a pollster said to be supportive of Republican candidates that The New York Times does not aggregate – shows Trump with a negative approval rating. Its latest poll, conducted between November 12 and 20 on 3,000 registered voters, shows that 51 percent disapproved of Trump, while 46 percent approved. The poll had a margin of error of +/- 1.8 percent.
