AP-NORC poll: 62% disapprove of how Trump’s handling his job
Dang -- 62% disapprove? Wow. Hopefully, this is a window into how the election next year will end up.
My view is that Trump is melting down and it is becoming clear to all to see. Some voters don't care but only care about the economy, which is slowing.
If those numbers remain, it really doesn't matter what his loyal base thinks.

NEW YORK (AP) — About 6 in 10 Americans disapprove of President Donald Trump’s overall job performance, according to a new poll released Thursday by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, which finds some support for the president’s handling of the U.S. economy but gives him weak marks on other major issues.
Just 36% of Americans approve of the way Trump is handling his job as president; 62% disapprove.
The numbers may be ugly for a first-term president facing reelection in 14 months, but they are remarkably consistent. Trump’s approval rating has never dipped below 32% or risen above 42% in AP-NORC polls since he took office.
No other president has stayed within so narrow a band. Since Gallup began measuring presidential approval, Trump is the only president whose rating has never been above 50%.
