NEW YORK: US President Donald Trump has hit a new low in the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll following weeks of defections from Republican senators and verbal bouts over sympathy calls to the families of fallen soldiers in Niger (Africa), according to a report published in USA Today on Saturday.
Mr Trump’s approval rating dropped to 38 percent compared to 58 percent who disapproved of his job performance.
That topped his previous low of 39 percent approval in the same poll in May. The report appeared as the president embarked upon his Asian trip last week.
Donald Trump has sunk even lower in other polls – as low as 33 percent in a poll conducted in August.
The latest poll of 900 adults comes as a warning sign for congressional Republicans a year before the mid-term elections.
