President Donald Trump has the lowest approval rating among voters of the opposition party since modern polling began more than six decades ago. Just 8 percent of Democrats approve of the job Trump is doing, according to extensive polling by the Pew Research Center.
Under Trump that divide has gone to far greater extremes. Republicans responding to the Pew poll gave him an 88 percent approval rating, meaning there was an 80-point gap between the two parties.
There is little sign that Trump’s base is expanding, however. In the most recent polling by Gallup, Trump’s approval rating among Democrats stands at 7 percent. Meanwhile, his number among crucial independents has shrunk to 31 percent from the 42 percent he had when he entered office. His base may be shrinking too. The president’s support among Republicans stands at 80 percent (Gallup polling.)
Trump’s approval rating is lowest among opposition party since polls began (and it’s not even close)
