    Trump’s approval hits new low for second term: Poll

    President Trump’s overall job approval reached a new second-term low in the latest Economist/YouGov survey.

    The poll, conducted this past weekend, shows Trump 19 points underwater, with 39 percent of Americans approving of his handling of the presidency and 58 percent disapproving.

    YouGov pollsters noted the president’s negative-19 net approval is also lower than all but one poll during his first term.

    Among 18- to 29-year-olds in the latest survey, Trump was nearly 55 points underwater — with only 20 percent approving of the way Trump handles his job and 75 percent disapproving.

    That represents a stark reversal from February, when Trump enjoyed a positive net approval among young adults of more than 8 points — with 50 percent approving and 42 percent disapproving.

    He’s definitely speed-running the unpopularity numbers.
