LITTLE ROCK (KFSM) — A new poll from the Talk Business & Politics-Hendrix College Poll of 784 statewide voters has found President Trump has a thin margin of approval versus disapproval.
In the survey conducted Oct. 23, voters were asked:
Q. Do you approve or disapprove of the job President Donald Trump is doing?
47.5% Approve
45.5% Disapprove
7% Don’t know
Trump now finds himself below majority support in his job performance one year after garnering 60.5% of the state’s vote.
“It’s been a rough first year for President Trump,” said TB&P Editor-in-Chief Roby Brock.
“I think these numbers and the precipitous decline we’ve seen in his job ranking among Arkansans is a reflection of the lack of political victories, the chaos and dysfunction at the national level, and the multiple self-inflicted mistakes that this first-year president has made.”
In previous polling, Trump’s job approval rating has declined from 60-35% in February to 53-39% in April to 50-47% in July to October’s 47.5-45.5% rating.
While there are a variety of national and international issues to quiz voters on regarding President Trump’s performance, the most threatening one for world stability involves a potential nuclear showdown with North Korea.
