I have heard some pundits on cable news recently remarking that Donald Trump's job approval has improved recently. That's wishful thinking on their part. They are talking about a point or two in some polls -- movement that is within the margin of error of the polls. Their has been no significant improvement in Trump's job approval for months.
Note in the top chart that Trump's approval has been in the 38% to 41% range for the last three months, and currently he has a negative approval rating of 15 points. And in the second chart, we see that almost all groups have larger disapproval numbers than approval numbers. The only group that has a bigger approval number is those over 65 -- and that is only by 2 points.
This remains a presidency in deep trouble.
These charts reflect information in the newest Economist / YouGov Poll -- done between April 15th and 17th of a random national sample of 1,500 adults, with a margin of error of 3.1 points.
