President Trump’s approval rating dropped to a six-month low of 43 percent in the daily tracking poll conducted by the Republican-friendly Rasmussen Reports.
The survey of 500 likely voters, released Friday, found that 56 percent of voters disapprove of Trump’s job performance.
The results reflect those of the RealClear Politics polling average, where Trump hit his all-time approval high of 47.3 percent on March 31 as the coronavirus crisis took hold — but has dipped to 44.9 percent in the days since.
The Rasmussen numbers have been a day-to-day rollercoaster in the last three weeks as COVID-linked economic woes batter businesses and spark record unemployment claims.
Trump’s approval has risen to as high as 48 percent in the middle of each of those weeks, according to the poll — only to take a fresh dive as Americans absorb news of added joblessness.
