According to a new ABC/Washington Post poll, President Trump’s disapproval rating has hit a new high.
Sixty percent of the 1,003 adults surveyed said they disapprove of the president’s job performance, with 53 percent saying they do so strongly.
Trump also hit a new low with an approval rating of only 36 percent.
Furthermore, 63 percent voiced support for the unimpeded continuation of Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation and 64 percent said that Attorney General Jeff Sessions should not be fired.
The poll was conducted from August 26 to 29, the week following the tax and bank fraud convictions of former Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort and the numerous guilty pleas—some of which implicated the president—of former Trump attorney Michael Cohen.
Notably, Trump has said that his decision-making process does not include consideration for poll numbers.
“I don’t do it for the polls. Honestly — people won’t necessarily agree with this — I do nothing for the polls,” the president told reporters on Wednesday. “I do it to do what’s right. I’m here for an extended period of time. I’m here for a period that’s a very important period of time. And we are straightening out this country.”

This tells us that 40% of Americans are simple-minded.

I read somewhere this morning that that number is higher than Nixon's disapproval rating during the Watergate hearings.

Re: Poll: Trump disapproval rating hits 60 percent, a new high
Does the approval rating really matter? We know it is low. We know Trump will dismiss it as fake news, on twitter and more important in his mind. America is divided, even with a low approval rating, it does not mean the Republicans will lose the house.
As i recall Trump didn't win the popular vote either, so here we are.

Some but it is also what we agree on, Americans chose the wrong form of govt,, it isn't that 40 percent like or support Trump, it's the republican party and their platform, holding the House & Senate.

Yes. It matters. It matters that those of us who are fearful of what he's doing to our country KNOW that most of us feel the same way.

He won the majority of votes among white voters, including women. That's what I find most interesting. Not winning the most votes among minority voters wasn't surprising.

That seems to be a better description of them than simple-minded because they seem to believe whatever the Republicans say, especially Trump. It's not like none of them have any intelligence. They just seem highly programmed to accept as true any Trump BS.
And as I have mentioned, a lot of that facility to believe Republican BS seems to derive from their pro-life beliefs. They can't believe anything good about those who are pro-choice and tend to believe the worst about them.

Re: Poll: Trump disapproval rating hits 60 percent, a new high
Thinking they have no intelligence is the wrong assessment, as long as their party passes their legislation and gets rid of Obama's legislation which has happened at rapid speed, they are happy campers, that he is gross is something most are aware of and don't care, which is far worse than being "simple minded." Most conservatives in my life care less about abortion and stats do show that, what they care about is conservative economics, immigration,
welfare and healthcare, as get your own.
