A new ABC News/Washington Post poll that was conducted between August 26-29 shows Trump’s approval and disapproval ratings to be at their worst for Trump since he took office.
His disapproval rating is at its highest, with 60% who disapprove of his job performance, and a mere 35% who approve of it.

According to ABC:
Sixty percent in the national survey disapprove of Trump’s performance in office, numerically the highest of his presidency, albeit by a single point; that includes 53 percent who disapprove strongly, more than half for the first time. Thirty-six percent approve, matching his low…
Trump’s average approval rating since taking office is the lowest for any president in modern polling since the 1940s. One factor: Contrary to his “drain the swamp” rhetoric, 45 percent say corruption in Washington has increased under Trump, while just 13 percent say it’s declined.
Of course poll numbers change from poll to poll and from day to day, but hey, let us enjoy this snapshot moment while it lasts.
