Trump’s approval hits low in new CNN poll

Just over a third of the country approves of the job President Trump is doing as commander in chief, according to a new poll released by CNN on Monday.

Just 38 percent said they approve of the job Trump is doing, while 56 percent said they disapprove. The latest poll, completed by SRSS, has the president’s approval rating down 6 points from an April survey in which 44 percent approved of the job he was doing as commander in chief. Five percent in the recent survey said they had no opinion on how Trump is doing in the job.

Taking stock of the first 200 days of Trump’s term, 36 percent said they consider it a success, while 59 percent consider it a failure.

Forty-three percent said they trust some of it, while 19 percent said they trust most of it. Only 5 percent said they trust all of the information coming from the administration.

The survey was conducted Aug. 3–6, polling 1,018 adults across the country over cellphones and landlines. It has a margin of error of 3.6 percentage points.
