Donald Trump’s approval ratings have plumbed new depths as less than a third of Americans now back his leadership, a poll has suggested.
Just 32 per cent of voters say they approve of the way the billionaire is handling the pressures of the Oval Office, while 67 per cent disapprove, according to a survey by the Associated Press and the NORC Centre for Public Affairs Research.
Less than a fifth – 19 per cent – said they believed the President understood their needs and problems, while only 23 per cent said they thought he was honest.
The findings showed Mr Trump’s approval rating had slipped a full 10 points since March.
The analytics website FiveThirtyEight’s poll tracker showed the President’s average approval rating sitting at about 38 per cent.
More than 60 percent of Americans disapprove of how Mr Trump is handling race relations, foreign policy and immigration.
His stock is falling even among Republicans, AP-NORC’s survey said. In March 80 per cent believed he was doing a good job but this has now slipped to just 67 per cent.
Voters also had a low opinion of Mr Trump’s response to the devastation wrought by Hurricane Maria on Puerto Rico, it was reported this week.
Again only 32 per cent approved of the way he was handling the disaster, AP-NORC found, though 48 per cent had backed his response to earlier hurricane damage in Texas and Florida.
Before a visit to the US territory, Mr Trump lashed out at the mayor of San Juan, Carmen Yulín Cruz. Once on the island he urged officials to say positive things about his administration and threw rolls of paper towels into the crowd at a relief centre.
Whatever Mr Trump’s troubles, Congress was held in even lower regard among those surveyed by AP-NORC.
Only 18 per cent approved of how it was working, with 81 per cent actively disapproving. More than half, or 51 per cent, strongly disapproved.
The gloomy outlook was encapsulated by the proportion of voters who said they were confident the US was headed in the right direction – a mere 24 per cent.

It's pure stubbornness that it's not already at 0%. Even his supporters realize something isn't right w/ this dude - and it seems like he's becoming more unhinged by the day w/ the NK talk.
What a mess. People shouldn't be so careless w/ a great country like this.

ONLY a moron / racist would support this total disaster of soulless man/boy.
AMERICAN HISTORY ITSELF IS A TESTAMENT TO THE STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE OF AFRICAN PEOPLE. WE, ALONG WITH THE COURGE AND SACRIFICES OF CONSCIOUS WHITE AMERICANS, LIKE VIOLA LIUZZO, EVERETT DIRKSEN, AND MANY OTHERS, HAVE FOUGHT AND DIED TOGETHER FOR OUR FREEDOM, AND FOR OUR SURVIVAL.
In America, rights are are not determined by what is just, fair, equitable, honest, nor by what Jesus would do. Rights are determined ONLY by what you can DEMAND.

I never would have thought that just in my lifetime, one political party would provide us with three of the worst, and most historically unpopular presidents in our great nation's 200 year history. It really does not get much worse that George Dumbya, Tricky Dick, and Donald J. Drumpf.Donald Trump's approval rating slips to all-time low in new poll
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
- -- The Buddha
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

Can't just blame the voters. Worth noting is that the GOP has only won the popular vote once, in the last 25 years of presidential elections.
The GOP also knows that the democratic process is not favorable to it - thus all the laws they pass to make voting more of a hassle, disenfranchising people likely to vote democratic, plus the inherent advantage given to sparsely populated, rural conservative states and the electoral college.
2 lies in the OP. Not all time low. and he's at 39.9% according to RCP average. Which is only down 2 points.
Keep changing the names. It doesn't change the meaning.
