New Quinnipiac poll contains 'zero good news' for Trump

President Trump's approval rating dipped to a dismal 34 percent in the latest Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday. A whopping 57 percent of Americans now disapprove of the job Trump is doing as president, marking a "new low" for Trump in the poll. Quinnipiac's findings are about on par with FiveThirtyEight's average of Trump's disapproval rating, 55.9 percent, and 38.3 percent approval number.
Trump's atrocious approval rating is just the beginning of the bad news for the president. Quinnipiac also found that 68 percent of Americans do not believe Trump is level-headed, and one-third of Trump's own party questions just how level-headed he is. Only 32 percent of voters believe Trump "did nothing wrong" with Russia, while 31 percent say he did something "illegal" and 29 percent say he did something "unethical." Sixty-eight percent of voters reported being either "very concerned" or "somewhat concerned" about Trump's relationship with Russia.
Quinnipiac University Poll assistant director Tim Malloy likened this poll to the moment in a "prize fight" where "someone in [Trump's] corner might be thinking about throwing in the towel." "There is zero good news for President Donald Trump in this survey, just a continual slide into a chasm of doubt about his policies and his very fitness to serve," Malloy said.
