Trump's Approval Rating Drops To Record Low Of 39 Percent In Poll

President Donald Trump has dropped to a new low in his approval rating, according to Rasmussen Reports Monday. The polling outfit said that he slumped to a low 39 percent approval rating and high 61 percent disapproval rating. The Rasmussen poll, which usually sees higher marks for the president than other polls, has never dropped below 40.

The poll surveys by landline 1,500 people that Rasmussen considers likely voters and supplements its findings with online polling. The poll has a 2.5 percent margin of error.

Trump has touted the results of Rasmussen’s polls before. In May, Trump tweeted out a photo when the poll indicated that he had a 48 percent approval rating and thanked his supporters.

“Thank you for your support. Together, we will MAKE AMERICA SAFE AND GREAT AGAIN!#POTUSAbroad #USA,” tweeted the president.

Trump also tweeted out the poll's approval rating in June, when Rasmussen showed him at a 50 percent approval rating.

“Great news!” wrote Trump.

Trump’s low numbers come after a tough week for the president. He forced out on Friday his chief of staff, Reince Priebus, and the Republican-controlled Senate failed to pass a late-night bill Thursday to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act (ACA), otherwise known as Obamacare.

Trump’s former communications director, Anthony Scaramucci, caused a stir last week when he called New Yorker reporter Ryan Lizza and threatened to fire all of his communications staff if Lizza didn’t reveal the source of a leak. He also complained vulgarly about fellow White House staff. After only 10 days on the job, Scaramucci was dismissed from the White House on Monday.

In a series of tweets, Trump also blasted Republican senators over the weekend for not passing a health care bill, which many considered an embarrassing loss for his administration. Repealing and replacing Obamacare was a campaign promise that Trump assured voters would be his first order of business if he won the presidency.

“Republican Senate must get rid of 60 vote NOW! It is killing the R Party, allows 8 Dems to control country. 200 Bills sit in Senate. A JOKE!,” tweeted the president Saturday.

In another Twitter tirade, Trump threatened to end federal subsidies to insurance companies that help keep the cost of ACA plans down and threatened Congress’ own health care plans.

“If a new HealthCare Bill is not approved quickly, BAILOUTS for Insurance Companies and BAILOUTS for Members of Congress will end very soon!,” tweeted the president.

Despite all this, Trump tweeted on Monday that there was no rockiness at the White House.

“Highest Stock Market EVER, best economic numbers in years, unemployment lowest in 17 years, wages raising, border secure, S.C.: No WH chaos!” said Trump on Twitter.

Gallup’s own polling showed Trump at a 37 percent approval rating Sunday, with a 59 percent disapproval rating. Real Clear Politics’ average of several polls on Sunday put Trump’s approval rating at 39.2 percent and his disapproval rating at 56.1 percent.
