Fifty percent of South Carolina residents surveyed said they disapproved of the job Trump is doing, according to a new poll from Winthrop University. Trump's statewide approval rating, 42 percent, is marginally better than his national standings of 35 percent.

Trump easily won the state's Republican presidential primary, with nearly one-third of the vote, and went on to take 54.9 percent of the historically red state's vote in the 2016 general election.

Despite the dip in statewide support, 81 percent of self-identified Republicans in the Palmetto State still support Trump, the poll found, mimicking similar trends of party support on the national level.

Disapproval for Trump in South Carolina has risen 3 percentage points since a poll last spring, as the administration has faced multiple controversies and dealt with inner turmoil in the White House.
