Trump's Poll Numbers Slide To Low Point


In the latest CNN poll conducted by research firm SSRS, sociopathic demagogue Donald "Rump" Trump's approval rating has dropped 5 points since just last month, tying his lowest level since he took office. Despite receiving a ratings bump last month connected with good economic news, only 35% approve of his performance now ("you can fool some of the people all of the time...."):
"The findings follow several weeks of sharply negative news about the President's White House staff, including the revelation that several key staffers lacked permanent security clearance, the implementation of a new policy to handle interim security clearances, and news that multiple White House staffers had resigned following accusations of domestic abuse."
The poll was conducted from February 20 - 23, as the aftermath of the school massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School was unfolding:
"While the poll was in the field, much of the President's public agenda focused on gun laws, an area where the poll finds Trump earns mostly negative reviews. Just a third of Americans approve of his handling of gun policy, 54% disapprove and another 12% say they have yet to make up their minds." (emphasis added)
Let's work hard to make his approval numbers worse.
