Trump Begins Third Year With Dismal Approval Rating

A new Pew Research survey finds President Trump begins his third year with a 37% job approval rating while 59% disapprove of his performance.

The survey also finds “that a growing share of Americans say they trust what Trump says less than what previous presidents said while they were in office. Nearly six-in-ten (58%) say they trust what Trump says less than previous presidents, up from 54% last June and 51% in February 2017, shortly after he took office.”

“The public also continues to fault the ethical standards of top administration officials. Just 39% rate their ethical standards as excellent or good, while 59% say they are not good or poor.”

For comparison, FiveThirtyEight shows Trump’s approval at 39% to 55%.
