Fox News poll: Trump disapproval rises to near record

Source: The Hill | August 14, 2019 | Rachel Frazin

President Trump’s disapproval rating has jumped to 56 percent in a Fox News survey released Wednesday, just one point shy of the record high in Fox News polling.

The survey found a 5 percentage point increase in Trump’s disapproval from last month. The only time his disapproval rating was higher, according to Fox News, was when it reached 57 percent in October 2017.

Forty-three percent of respondents said they approve of Trump’s job performance, down from 46 percent last month. The record low for Trump approval in Fox News’s polling is 38 percent, also from October of 2017.

Trump has the disapproval of a record number of men, at 53 percent, white men, 46 percent, and independents, 64 percent, according to the survey.

Researchers surveyed 1,013 registered voters nationwide from Aug. 11 to 13. The results have a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points. 

The poll comes at a tense political moment following two mass shootings earlier this month, one of which appears to have been racially motivated. 

Approval for Trump’s response to the incidents is just 37 percent, and 46 percent said they believe his administration has made the country less safe from mass shootings.

    EVERYDAY #31254

    I was reading today about a small business owner in NH who voted for Trump.in 2016, but says he won’t vote for him again in 2020. He says he has “Trumpgret.”

    I suspect many of Trump’s voters, other than his cult followers, are experiencing the same Trumpgret and won’t vote for him again in 2020
