President Donald Trump’s approval rating has dipped to a new low of 37 percent in the Quinnipiac University poll.

A majority of American voters surveyed by Quinnipiac between March 16 and 21 — 56 percent — said they disapprove of the president’s job performance. Quinnipiac’s last survey, on March 7, had Trump’s standing at a slightly better 41 percent approve, 52 percent disapprove rating.


In more bad news for Trump in the most recent survey, 60 percent of voters said they believe he is dishonest; 55 percent said he does not have good leadership skills; and 57 percent do not think he cares about average Americans.

The large majority of voters surveyed also said they do not believe Trump’s unsupported and publicly refuted claim that former President Barack Obama ordered an illegal wiretap of Trump Tower last year (only 19 percent believe it happened, while 70 percent do not).

The poll found that 73 percent of those surveyed, meanwhile, believe that Trump and his administration “make statements without evidence to support them ‘very often’ or ‘somewhat often.’”

The poll’s administrator says it also shows that the president’s base is becoming more skeptical of him. Trump’s support among Republicans, men, and white voters dipped compared to Quinnipiac’s last survey. A slight majority of men now disapprove of him, and 14 percent of Republicans do as well (compared to just 5 percent who said they were unhappy with Trump on March 7).

“Although taking a beating, he keeps on tweeting to the point where even his fiercely loyal base appears to be eroding,” Tim Malloy, the poll’s assistant director, said in a statement.

The survey had a sample size of 1,056 and a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.
