President Trump’s approval rating fell to its lowest level in May since he was sworn into office four months ago, according to the results of a Fox News poll released Wednesday evening.
The May 21-23 survey found forty percent of registered voters believe the Republican leader is performing well, down from 45 percent in April. Trump received his highest mark with 48 percent in February.
Trump’s disapproval rating is also at its highest since he took office, peaking at 53 percent. His lowest disapproval numbers were at the beginning of his presidency in February.
Independent voters voiced doubt about the GOP president with barely more than one-third of those respondents voicing support for Trump.
Meanwhile, Vice President Mike Pence is not faring much better.
Pence’s approval numbers dropped eight percentage points from last month to 42 percent in May. His disapproval rating shot up 10 points to 43 percent.
The poll was conducted by cellphone and landline interviews with 1,011 random registered voters nationwide by Anderson Robbins Research and Shaw & Company Research. The margin of error was plus or minus 3 percentage points.
