Trump 'sinks like a rock'
“President Donald Trump’s popularity is sinking like a rock,” said the assistant director of Quinnipiac, Tim Malloy.
He pointed out that Trump "gets slammed on honesty, empathy, level-headedness and the ability to unite." Malloy added, “This is a terrible survey one month in.”
Trump's Vice President, Mike Pence, received an "even" favorability rating, with 41 percent approving of his job performance and 40 percent disapproving of his job performance.
The Gallup Daily Tracking poll shows Trump at a 42 percent approval rating and last week a Pew Research Center poll had Trump at 39 percent.
