President Donald
Trump's job approval rating has dropped to 37%, while 58% of Americans
disapprove of his performance so far as president, new Gallup figures show.
The approval ratings,
Trump's worst since taking office two months ago, come as FBI Director James
Comey is expected to tell lawmakers that there is no evidence for the
President's unverified claim that former President Barack Obama wiretapped
Trump Tower during the election.
Trump's approval rating
hovered in the mid-to-low 40s in the weeks following the beginning of his
presidency.
Aside from the
controversy over Trump's wiretapping claim, the latest poll numbers suggest
growing dissatisfaction with his performance following the chaotic rollout of
Republicans' plan to replace the Affordable Care Act and reaction to his travel
ban that has faced stiff legal opposition.
Gallup tracks
daily the percentage of Americans who approve or disapprove of
Trump's job performance. The daily results are based on telephone interviews
with about 1,500 national adults and have a margin of error of 3 percentage
points.
