President Donald Trump's approval rating hasn't improved since he became the most unpopular modern president at the six-month mark of his presidency.
A series of new polls on Wednesday showed that the president is becoming even more unpopular following a series of setbacks including the defeat of Senate Republicans' proposed healthcare law and the departure of his chief of staff and yet another communications director.
A Quinnipiac University poll conducted between July 27 and August 1 and released on Wednesday showed the president had a 33% approval rating and a 61% disapproval rating. The telephone poll surveyed 1,125 voters, and had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.4 percentage points.
In a Politico/Morning Consult poll that was also released on Wednesday, Trump's approval rating dipped slightly to 42%, down one point from the 43% who said they approved last week, but within the plus or minus 2 percentage-point margin of error. The poll was conducted last week online among 1,972 registered voters before the firing of then-communications director Anthony Scaramucci.
Excluding the Politico/Morning Consult polls and the Quinnipiac survey, Trump had a net 37% approval rating and a net 57.5% disapproval rating, according to 538's approval tracker, which calculates the president's approval rating while factoring in the quality of the poll.
