Trump Slipping with His Base

January 17, 2019 · 7:09 am ET · Leave a Comment

A new NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll finds President Trump’s approval rating down by a net 7-point change to 39% to 53% over the last month.

The movement has come from within key portions of his base: He’s down significantly among suburban men, a net-positive approval rating of 51% to 39% to a net-negative of 42% approve, 48% disapprove. That’s a net change of down 18 percentage points.

He’s also down a net of 13 points among white evangelicals and down a net of 10 points among Republicans.
