Donald Trump Approval Falls to Record LowSeveral major pollsters released surveys this week showing that Trump’s approval rating has fallen to a record low, raising red flags about his standing among independent voters and even parts of his base. A CNN poll also found a record low in Trump approval at 34 percent. Presidents often see their approval rating reach its lowest point in their sixth year, Stebenne told Newsweek. “If it gets better, and I'm not saying it will, but in the last two years, that is an approval rating that would likely rise,” he said. Trump’s Future Approval Could Depend on Next PresidentLonger term, whether or not Trump’s approval rating rebounds could be tied to his successor, according to Stebenne.
