President Donald Trump's approval rating continues to tank, according to a new Emerson College poll released on Feb. 25.
More than half, or 55%, of Americans surveyed do not approve of the job the president is doing, a 4% increase from January, according to the Emerson poll of 1,000 likely voters. The poll was conducted Feb. 21 through Feb. 22, just days before Trump's record-length State of the Union address on Feb. 24.
Meanwhile, 43% of Americans support Trump, the Emerson poll found, the same percentage recorded in the college's January poll. During the State of the Union, Trump boasted that he had inherited "a nation in crisis." He praised his own economic record, taking credit for reducing the prices of Americans' daily essentials, including gas and eggs.

"This is the golden age of America," Trump said. "We have achieved a transformation like no one has ever seen before. It is a turnaround for the ages."
