A new Reuters-Ipsos poll finds President Trump’s public approval rating edged down to 42% — its lowest level since his return to the White House — as Americans showed signs of wariness over his efforts to broaden his power.

Also interesting: Some 83% said that the U.S. president must obey federal court rulings even if he doesn’t want to.

But I know that Fox News and the right wing media on top of the hate mongers on the radio and podcasts have been brainwashed and poisoned people to be ok with destroying our democracy and freedoms afforded to us in our soon to be voided constitution.

Probably worst ever since polling began, I'm guessing second place goes to his first misadministration.

hovered around 40% for the last three years of his term, I'd say we have more work to do.

Of course, 20% of those are likely those sovereign citizens nutjobs who think nobody needs to follow court orders.
