A fresh Economist/YouGov poll released on Nov. 7 indicates President Donald Trump's approval rating has slipped to 36%, three points lower than the Oct. 29 survey and matching the lowest level recorded since late September. The poll, conducted from Nov. 4 to Nov. 6 among 3,166 registered voters, carries a margin of error of 2.2 percentage points.
