Public Opinion: The reaction to the latest IBD/TIPP poll showing President Trump's approval ratings taking a big hit has been, well, depressing. Liberals are shamelessly cheering it on while some Trump backers are blaming the poll. Both responses are misguided.
The poll shows that only 34% approve of the job Trump is doing, which is a low not seen since the last months of the Bush presidency, when the financial crisis was in full swing.
Clearly, the left's total war against Trump has taken its toll. Every day it is wall-to-wall attacks in news, entertainment, academia and every other corner of daily life. Rather than argue and debate Trump's policies about which the public is largely in agreement they've resorted to their favorite weapon: the politics of personal destruction.
So, congratulations, Trump haters. You've managed to drive down his numbers before he's had a chance to actually get much done.

Oh, please!
Looks like GOOD news to me! The more unpopular one is in a corrupt swampville, the more indicative one is on the right track!
his approval is low because:
1. there are no obama administration indictments
2. he didn’t tell the 9th circuit to go fk themslves
3. Ryan is still speaker
If I was an ignoramus and believed the crap CNN puts out I would hate Trump also...........but I have a brain and see what is going on and stand with Trump 100 percent.
Look at the internals. His approval among republicans is above 80%. This is the only number that matters.
The independents go back and forth and they are overpolling democrats ike hell. Overall the poll is good. It will be even better after the Gorsuch confirmation.
What a crock...... the only way the approval rate is pertinent is that it is writer’s fodder
He has my approval and that’s all that counts.
True. He is not there to be popular, he is there to get the job done.
I agree with all 3 points there.
Good point. In 2000, Steve Jobs probably had a 10% or less approval rating among the employees at Apple. But he was doing what needed to be done to turn Apple around. If the new boss is popular in a failing company, it might be an indicator he is not doing what must be done and taking the difficult steps that are necessary.
Rassmussen has him at 42%, not bad at all when LSM and Soros are spending hundreds of hours and millions of dollarsmhttp://www.breitbart.com/texas/2017/04/04/illegal-immigration-fell-67-percent-trump-says-fmr-border-chief/ againt DJT.
Economy better, illegals coming here down 67%, deficit scrank for a change, balance of trade down 10%.
I think the Red baiting having fizzled to being a laughable ruse, and the Mega Watergate spying on Trump just starting to be exposed POTUS Trump is going to make
a comeback.
Now lets just wait for the recess appointments.
Yeah, see, the thing is, TRUMP isn’t going to be stopped. He has been through this before, many times.
No one since Reagan has been as adept at surpassing the media. He also keeps pursuing his agenda.
The polls today are hostile. Poll takers admitted just four months ago their failures. Have they suddenly fixed everything?
Just imagine if we had an honest press. Front page articles featuring President Trump’ s frequent meetings with leaders in many fields as well as leaders of many countries instead of phony Russia collusion articles would give a very different impression. Most Americans probably don’t even know these meetings are happening.
Yeah, those ‘poll’ numbers got Jezebel elected, right?
Here is a clue to the low ratings: Principled defenders of liberty number about 33 out of 435 seats in the House.
Only idiots pay attention to polls after Brexit and the last election.
Well actually it IS something to ignore because while the media is using made up and/or meaningless polls that STILL don’t talk to US, Trump is keeping promise after promise and the Democrats are busy making fools of themselves like monkeys dancing in the streets to beg for money from crazy people.
