'Six-in-10 Americans disapprove of the job Donald Trump is doing as President, according to a Gallup poll out Monday. Thirty-eight percent approve of the President.
The last time his approval rating dipped under 40% was just a few weeks ago, but his disapproval hasn't been at 60% or higher since around this time last year, in December 2017, when the guilty plea of his former national security adviser, Michael Flynn, and his endorsement of Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore (who was accused of sexual misconduct) were in the news.
Trump's most recent approval rating is down five percentage points since last week's Gallup poll and reflects a slight decrease in almost every demographic group, but especially among those aged 18-29, who went from 35% approval of the President to 28%. The disapproval rating increased seven percentage points since last week.'

28% among 18-29's? Excellent and no surprise.
While mostly uneducated, 'white'. old, hicks in the sticks love Trump. The young people of America - the future - see him as a pathetic, laughing stock. And that is with the economy appearing to be strong (though it is far from it).
Barring a war, Trump is TOAST in 2020.
It is no wonder that Trump's popularity is declining. He is a disgrace.
At the Helsinki summit regarding Russian interference in our election, Trump rejected American intelligence and agreed with the communist dictator of Russia, Vladimir Putin. Trump said he did not "see any reason why" Russia would be responsible. "I have great confidence in my intelligence people, but I will tell you that President Putin was extremely strong and powerful in his denial today," Trump said.
Speaking at a rally, Trump explained how he fell in love with the North Korean communist dictator, Kim Jong Un. "I was really tough and so was he, and we went back and forth. And then we fell in love, OK? No, really, he wrote me beautiful letters, and they’re great letters. We fell in love.”
"We have the tape, I don't want to hear the tape, no reason for me to hear the tape," Trump said in the interview broadcast on "Fox News Sunday." When Wallace asked why he did not want to hear the recording, Trump said: "Because it's a suffering tape, it's a terrible tape. I've been fully briefed on it. There's no reason for me to hear it."
He is bowing to the communist dictator of Russia again. Russian ships opened fire on and seized three Ukrainian vessels near Crimea. The Ukrainian ships were traveling on the high seas from one Ukrainian port to another Ukrainian port. Clearly, this is an example of Russian aggression.
As world leaders denounced Russia's aggression against Ukraine, Trump waited more than a day before offering a muted response about the clash, leaving the task of criticizing Moscow to the outgoing US ambassador to the UN.
When asked how he felt about the Russian seizure, Trump said, "not good. Not happy about it at all." He was reluctant to blame Russia, adding, "we do not like what's happening either way. And hopefully it will get straightened out."
Which, of course, says nothing. The comment is pure Trumpian, talk but don't say anything. Putin is pleased with his choice for the American Presidency.
Trump told the Washington Post, “I don’t like that aggression. I don’t want that aggression at all.”
Regarding a meeting with Putin at the G-20 summit beginning Nov. 30th, Trump said, “Maybe I won’t have the meeting. Maybe I won’t even have the meeting.”
Which, of course, says nothing. The comment is pure Trumpian, talk but don't say anything. Putin is pleased with his choice for the American Presidency.
Once again, Trump is proving himself to be an embarrassment. Other leaders are laughing at him, most joyfully, Trump's benefactor, Putin.
