Post-Comey Hearing, Trump's Approval Ratings in the Gutter

Donald Trump’s bizarre cabinet meeting Monday in which members heaped praise upon him comes on a day the president’s ego may need a bit of stroking.

Gallup’s latest daily tracking poll shows that as of Sunday, Trump’s disapproval rating has reached at 59 percent. His approval rating sits at just 36 percent.

That disapproval rating is the same record high he reached on March 28, according to Gallup’s daily tracker. On that day, his approval rating was just 35 percent.

The poll results were released Monday, just days after Quinnipiac poll showed that Trump’s approval rating had sunk to 34 percent, and that 57 percent disapproved of the job he’s doing as president.

The new data from Gallup follows ousted FBI director James Comey’s testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee last week in which he accused Trump of lying and “took a sledgehammer to the Trump administration’s narrative and made it abundantly clear that Trump tried to influence the FBI’s investigation into [Trump’s former controversial national security advisor] Michael Flynn and that he was fired because he refused to drop that investigation,” as one observer put it.
