[windjammer]

His unpopularity has been quite stable.

52% Disapprove

Higher than I would've thought. Huh.

PPP always gives better popularity ratings for politicians.

[windjammer]

It has been for a long time he's in the 35-40 job approval with Gallup. I wonder if he can go down by more

[windjammer]

Why is he going down btw?

[windjammer]

Gallup, 11/30

Approve 34 (-2)
Disapprove 60 (+3)

Big movement over the last 2 days, and the worst Trump's been in Gallup for a while.  Need a few more days to see if it's a real trend or just typical daily tracker fluctuation.

What is Gallup's record btw?

Trump at 30% approval in a state he got 31% in. Great poll for him. Tax Reform Bump evident.

That's 30-66, his worst ever by this pollster, and only two other Presidents (Nixon as his Presidency was collapsing and Dubya in July 2008) ever got lower than Trump is now. Carter didn't fare as badly in California as the hostage situation dragged on in 1980 -- and then, California was a Republican-leaning state.

It's hardly surprising that President Trump fares badly in California.

This is a university poll with a heritage (University of California Institute of Governmental Studies), and the historical data is itself interesting even if another poll of California is superfluous. Of course I would rather see a poll of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Georgia, or Missouri.
