American voters today give President Donald Trump a negative 38 - 55 percent job approval rating, his worst net score since he took office, down from a negative 42 - 51 percent approval rating in a February 7 Quinnipiac University national poll.

President Trump's negative scores are 36 - 59 percent among women and 41 - 50 percent among men, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University Poll finds. Republicans approve 83 - 10 percent, while negative approval ratings are 5 - 91 percent among Democrats and 38 - 55 percent among independent voters.

Trump gets a negative 39 - 55 percent favorability rating, also his worst net score since taking office. Vice President Mike Pence gets a split 41 - 40 percent favorability.

Opinions on most of Trump's personal qualities also are negative, as American voters say:
  • 55 - 40 percent that he is not honest;
  • 55 - 42 percent that he does not have good leadership skills;
  • 53 - 44 percent that he does not care about average Americans;
  • 63 - 33 percent that he is not level-headed;
  • 64 - 32 percent that he is a strong person;
  • 58 - 38 percent that he is intelligent;
  • 60 - 37 percent that he does not share their values.
Trump is doing more to unite the country, 36 percent of American voters say, while 58 percent say he is doing more to divide the nation.

"President Donald Trump's popularity is sinking like a rock," said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll.

"He gets slammed on honesty, empathy, level headedness and the ability to unite. And two of his strong points, leadership and intelligence, are sinking to new lows.

"This is a terrible survey one month in."

A total of 38 percent of American voters think they can trust Trump to do what is right "almost all of the time" or "most of the time," and 61 percent think they can trust Trump to do what is right "some of the time" or "hardly ever."

In contrast, 58 percent of voters think they can trust U.S. courts to do what is right "almost all of the time" or "most of the time," and 40 percent think they can trust the courts to do what is right "some of the time" or "hardly ever."

From February 16 - 21, Quinnipiac University surveyed
1,323 voters nationwide with a margin of error of +/- 2.7 percentage points.

Those percentages approximate the makeup of the nation. Skewing polls to include more republicans would be dishonest.

But that's NOT True! there is NOT 9% more Democrats!

As of October 2014 , Gallup polling found that 43% of Americans identified as Democrats and 39% as Republicans, when party "leaners" were included; those figures changed to 41% Democratic and 42% Republican after the November 2014 elections.

So if Gallup found less then 4% MORE democrats then why are 9% of the polled Democrats in the above polls!
PLUS read again the above... when party leaners... MORE GOP !
So again why are people believing any polls especially when the polls ALL said Hillary would WIN?

The poll you're pointing out did not include an option for independents. So you can't compare it to your OP.

And the polls about Hillary were right. She won the vote by +2%

NO the polls were WRONG! They had her winning the states that Trump won! She won Ca/NY which made up that dumb ass 2%!
She didn't win PA/OH/etc. and that's what the polls said she'd win!

New Polls Show Hillary Clinton Leading In Most Key States

Quinnipiac University released a set of four polls Wednesday afternoon, giving Clinton the edge by 1 point in Florida, 3 points in North Carolina, and 4 points in Pennsylvania. The only bad news for Clinton in that set: She trails by 5 points in Ohio.

That was before Comey's treason and the last batch of sabotage from Wikileaks
 
You can talk about the EC all you want, but the fact is more people DID vote for Clinton than Trump, ergo there are more Democrats than Republicans.

I will be adding "COUNTER-BALANCE" to any polls anymore to this page to show how BIASED POLLING should be considered when reading the biased MSM!
Case in point:
Headline: Many Americans Disapprove of Trump but Are Open to His Agenda, Poll Finds


Many Americans Disapprove of Trump but Are Open to His Agenda, Poll Finds

YO!!!! How "many" is "MANY"???? Another example of BIASED headline writing!
REALITY:
Headed in right direct .... 2/17 40% Yet in 1/17 37%
Off on the wrong track.... 2/17 51% Yet in 1/17 52%

So instead of pointing out the FACT that MORE people think heading in right direction then a month ago the headline: "Many americans..."

NOW DO YOU PEOPLE ON THE FENCE UNDERSTAND HOW THE BIASED MSM CONTINUES TO COLOR YOUR PERCEPTIONS???


So the facts as to who made up this poll??
40% of polled Strong Democrat to Independent leaning Democrat
35% of polled Strong GOP to independent leaning GOP.

AGAIN... WHY are there more Democrats polled when in reality there are less then 3% difference?

Democratic, Republican Identification Near Historical Lows
