NBC News/WSJ Poll: Trump's job approval drops to lowest point in his presidency Just 38 percent of Americans say they approve of the job President Trump is doing, according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll, while 58 percent disapprove. That’s the lowest approval rating for any president at this point of his term in modern times. Looking ahead to next year’s midterm elections, 48 percent of respondents say they prefer a Democratic-controlled Congress and 46 percent say their vote will serve as a check on Trump. “This is his worst showing of his young presidency so far,” said Democratic pollster Fred Yang of Hart Research Associates, who conducted this survey with Republican pollster Bill McInturff and his team at Public Opinion Strategies.
The drop for Trump has come from independents (who shifted from 41 percent approval in September to 34 percent now), whites (who went from 51 percent to 47 percent) and whites without a college degree (from 58 percent to 51 percent). “Are we starting to see the fraying of the Trump base … after this week of [Republican] infighting?” Yang asked. Trump’s job approval rating of 38 percent is the lowest in modern times for a president at this stage of his presidency. The NBC/WSJ poll had George W. Bush at 88 percent, Barack Obama at 51 percent and Bill Clinton at 47 percent in the fall of their first year as president. In this new survey, Trump also has seen a decline in his personal rating, with 36 percent viewing him positively and 54 percent negatively.
