For a minute there, things were looking up for President Donald Trump. By late last week, his approval rating was hovering around 40 percent, which isn't great but marked an improvement for the former reality TV star. But then Trump spent the holiday weekend railing against the press and blasting off tweetstorms—and the president's approval rating took a plunge.
Gallup's tracking poll pegged Trump's approval at just 37 percent to start off July, while disapproval stood at 57 percent. Last week, Gallup found the president's approval rating had briefly climbed to 40 percent before the fall-off back into the 30s.
The Gallup poll interviewed 1,500 U.S. adults and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points. Trump's 37 percent approval rating is dismal, especially for a president so early in his tenure, when the American people typically afford the office a grace period of sorts. Around this point in his first term, for instance, former President Barack Obama had a 60 percent approval rating.
Things have gotten so bad for Trump that far more people support impeaching him than support the job he's doing in the Oval Office. A survey in recent weeks from Public Policy Polling—a firm that does public surveys as well as polling for Democratic candidates—found that 47 percent of voters supported impeaching Trump. Americans could, perhaps, feel that way because 49 percent believed the president had obstructed justice in the ongoing investigation into his ties to Russia, according to the Public Policy Polling survey.
Even Trump's average approval rating is a long ways off from the support for his impeachment. The weighted average from data-focused website FiveThirtyEight pegged his approval rating at just 39.5 percent Monday, while 54.4 percent disapproved.

When Dems are in power, they spend their time trying to overthrow foreign governments. When Republicans are in charge, Dems spend their time trying to overthrow their own government.
Resist we much!
Polls taken in the Unisex bathroom at CNN don't count.
They get it, but refuse to accept it. They are in the business of trying to convince as many gullible people as possible to support the Leftist agenda. Polls are merely one weapon in their arsenal to accomplish their goals.
President Trump has been amazingly successful in pulling the Leftist media's mask off. "Fake News" will stick, as will the example he's made of CNN.
Robert Mueller has brought in lawyers, who are fat cat Hillary donors to investigate Trump. So far he has brought in at least a dozen lawyers. There is no Russian collusion. He, obviously is doing the democRATS work in achieving their goal of destroying the Trump presidency. This guy is not “independent” and must be fired forthwith!
Thay get it, but their hatred for all that Trump represents prevents them from thinking rationally.
Newsweek would be dead if it wasn’t for liberal members of the Library Ass. who keep stocking it in schools and public libraries.
Do doctors’ waiting rooms still get it?
I get a variety of free magazine subscriptions and seem to have a much better selection of titles than I see at the doctors’ or even barber’s.
Last time I saw a copy of Newsweek was 6 years ago...in my dentist’s office.
Dear goldstategop,
re: “He’s not afraid of them and will do what he thinks is right for the country.”
That is my favorite thing about him. Let them chatter.
Its all they have folks, until the shooting starts. Inevitable !
5 Jul: Dick Morris: Trump’s Polling Solid, Steady And Good
One of the most common items of “disinformation” in the media these days is the assertion that Donald Trump’s presidency is drawing negative reviews from the American voter.
The Guardian, for example, reports that Trump’s approval ratings “fall off a cliff” and goes on to wonder why he “sees no reason to course-correct.”
But, the fact is that Trump’s poll numbers are steady, fluctuating in a narrow range, and are higher than Obama’s were during most of his tenure.
Rasmussen, the only pollster who surveys “likely voters” shows the marks of a successful presidency...ETC

I think some leftist high school kid bought it for 25 cents and runs it as a hobby.
“...former reality TV star...”

Go for it stupid liberal person.
...based on a survey of my cow-irkers here at NewSpeak...
California, where Hillary got twice the votes that Trump did, skews all these polls leftward and makes the Democrats think they’re winning.
A current Newsweak, or a 5 year old copy?
