Trump hits new negative milestone in polls that he never did in his first term: analysis

President Donald Trump has hit an ominous new milestone in polling that he never sunk to when he was last in office, Newsweek reported on Wednesday.

"As of Wednesday morning, Trump currently has an average disapproval rating of 55 percent, while 41 percent approve, according to The New York Times' polling aggregator," wrote Jordan King. "A new poll by J.L. Partners, conducted between November 19 and 20 on 1,244 registered voters, found that 49 percent disapproved of Trump, while 41 percent approved. The poll had a margin of error of +/- 3.2 percent. The pollster's previous poll, conducted in mid-October, showed Trump with a 46 percent approval rating."

The article is called, "Trump’s Approval Rating Negative With Every Pollster For First Time Ever."

At this point, he noted, even Rasmussen, a MAGA-friendly outlet that frequently shows Trump doing far better than contemporary polling, has Trump down 5 points.

Trump's polling has been steadily getting worse for several months, after a honeymoon period at the start of his presidency.

His recent numbers have been called "atrocious" by CNN data analyst Harry Enten, who said of recent surveys, “When your best poll has you still 14 points underwater, you know it's truly bad and it's as bad as 26 points underwater! We're talking about an average well, well underwater with the deep blue sea swimming with the fishes!”

All of this coincides with a series of devastating election results for Republicans, and an upcoming special election in a Tennessee congressional seat where polling is nearly neck and neck despite Trump having carried the district by 22 points.
