A new Economist/YouGov survey shows President Donald Trump's approval rating at 36%, the lowest point since late September and a sign of growing public discontent with his second term.
A fresh Economist/YouGov poll released on Nov. 7 shows President Donald Trump's approval rating has dropped to 36%, three points below the Oct. 29 survey and matching the lowest level seen since late September. The poll, conducted from Nov. 4 to Nov. 6 among 3,166 registered voters, has a margin of error of 2.2 percentage points.
The survey also found that 51% of respondents say the 80-year-old president is too old for the office, with that concern especially strong among Democrats (84%) and Independents (56%) and far less common among Republicans (17%). In addition, 58% of Americans said they see Trump's performance in his second term as worse than his first, while 19% said it has improved and another 19% said it is about the same.
Broader national tracking averages remain bleak. As of Nov. 9, RealClearPolitics listed Trump's approval at 38.9% with a 59.2% disapproval rating. The New York Times average showed 37% approval and 60% disapproval, and Nate Silver’s Silver Bulletin reported 37.8% approval and 59.1% disapproval.
