President Donald Trump’s job approval rating is slipping among independent voters in a new survey from Gallup, spurred in part by disapproval of how the president is handling key issues including the federal budget, economy and immigration.
A
July poll from Gallup found that Trump’s job approval rating has dipped to just 37 percent among all American adults, the lowest of his second term. Self-identified independents gave the president a 29 percent job approval rating. The 17-point decline since January matches his lowest rating with independents in either of his terms.
Sixty-four percent of independents said they have an unfavorable opinion of the job Trump is doing. Just 7 percent of Republicans said the same, while 97 percent of Democrats said they had an unfavorable view.
