Republicans are noticeably beginning to lose faith in President Donald Trump, a new survey shows, as he crisscrosses the country selling Americans on his economic record while dealing with growing civil unrest over his illegal immigration crackdown.
A new Pew Research Center poll released Jan. 29 shows the populist-fueled president's approval rating sits at around 37%, which is down by about three percentage points when compared to the fall.
There is growing discontent with Trump's plans, the survey finds, with only 27% of U.S. adults saying they support his policy prescriptions. That is down from 35% when he returned to the White House a little over a year ago.
A two-to-one margin of Americans also say the administration's actions have made things worse, Pew found.
What might be more troubling for the president than the dip itself is where it is coming from and that is exclusively from an uptick in frustration among Trump's usually loyal base, researchers say.
