Trump approval lower than any president in decades

WASHINGTON : A new poll released a year after Donald Trump’s stunning electoral victory shows the US president suffering historically dismal approval ratings as the Russia investigation casts a continuing shadow. The Washington Post, which conducted the survey with ABC

News, said Trump’s approval rating was “demonstrably lower than any previous chief executive at this point in his presidency over seven decades of polling.” Just 37% of Americans approved of his handling of the job. Trump’s disapproval rating was 59%, with half of those saying they strongly disapproved, both the worst marks of his presidency.
