Poll: Trump losing support among backers who also voted for Obama

Nearly one-quarter of voters who backed both President Trump in 2016 and former President Obama in 2012 say they disapprove of Trump’s job performance, according to a new poll released Wednesday.

A survey by Democracy Fund Voter Study Group found that 22 percent of those who voted for both Obama and Trump disapprove of the current president. In comparison, just nine percent of all Trump voters disapprove of him.
