"Approval Ratings Plummet: Record Low Support for Trump Amid Economic Concerns As the country prepares for a crucial midterm election, a new poll is painting a grim picture for President Trump's re-election prospects. A record low 38% of Americans now approve of the President's job performance, according to a survey conducted by NPR, PBS News, and the Marist Institute. The dismal numbers are particularly concerning given the economy, a traditionally strong suit for the President, with only 32% of respondents expressing confidence in his ability to manage the nation's finances. The alarming drop in support comes as Trump faces mounting criticism over his handling of key issues, including trade policy and healthcare reform, setting the stage for a potentially contentious election season."


A new NPR/PBS News/Marist poll finds a record low share of Americans approve of President Trump's job performance and his handling of the economy heading into the summer before a key midterm election.
