A new AP-NORC poll finds nearly a year into President Donald Trump’s second term, his work on the economy hasn’t lived up to the expectations of many people in his own party.
In the link I sent, his approval average hasn’t moved more than .2% in the last week. RCP is actually showing a higher approval rating than my linked one from Nate Silver. If there’s any meaningful difference it just looks like it’s because RCP has a shorter time window they average over.
His net approval rating in our average dropped from -12.0 on Monday to -12.9 today.

In RealClearPolitics’ straightforward polling averages, Trump’s net job approval dropped from minus-8.6 percent on January 9 to minus-13.2 percent a week later.

We really need him to break through the 40% approval threshold. That’s where impeachments tend to happen.
