President Trump’s disapproval rating has hit a high point of 60 percent, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll that also finds that clear majorities of Americans support the special counsel’s Russia investigation and say the president should not fire Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

At the dawn of the fall campaign sprint to the midterm elections, which will determine whether Democrats retake control of Congress, the poll finds a majority of the public has turned against Trump and is on guard against his efforts to influence the Justice Department and special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s wide-ranging probe.

Nearly half of Americans, 49 percent, say Congress should begin impeachment proceedings that could lead to Trump being removed from office, while 46 percent say Congress should not.

Oooh. A poll.

Just like the thousands of other liberal polls that said Hillary was going to win.

More Fake News.

Utter nonsense! He has an approval rating of 50%. It’s not possible 60% disapprove and the impeachment thing is a joke, too. If that was such a winning proposal, why are the Dems running away from it and telling their candidates not to mention the “I” word?

What lying piece of crap. Trump is now over 50% favorable, so how can he be 60% unfavorable?

I would like to see the questions asked. Must be a push poll.

Looks like Dems outnumbered Reps by 8 points - 33% vs 25% in the “all Adults” survey population. It’s 7 points in the “registered Voters” population.

These people actually think Rs make up only 25% of the population??? Really??

Washington Post-ABC News poll

The only way this could be less reliable is if NYT and CNN provided the data.

When one poll is far outside the others, it’s called an outlier.

When its THAT far outside the others, it’s called fake and laughable.

60%?

He’s created a roaring economy and he has a 60% disapproval rating?

Only from the few lefties that still read this fish wrap.

They must have polled a bunch of illegal immigrants and Hillary’s campaign staff.

Even many Democrats support President Trump.

as usual, significant over-samples with skewed mathematics used for correction. Not surprising at all, given the source.

Good link! Note ‘detailed view’ by party ID ... once you see that you realize they’ve normalized to 2012 -style party affiliation numbers ( aka overweighting Dims)
