President Trump’s approval rating dipped slightly to 44 percent in December amid a partial government shutdown, according to a Harvard CAPS/Harris Poll survey released exclusively to The Hill.
The poll was conducted earlier this week during a tumultuous period for the White House, as a partial government shutdown now stretches into its seventh day. At the center of that shutdown is a bitter standoff between the president and Congress over $5 billion in funds for Trump’s border wall.
All told, 44 percent of poll respondents said they at least somewhat approve of the job Trump is doing in the White House — 20 percent strongly approve, while 24 percent somewhat approve.
That’s a two-point fall from a Harvard CAPS/Harris poll conducted last month that put the president’s approval rating at 46 percent.
Most voters surveyed — 56 percent — still disapprove of Trump’s performance in the Oval Office. Out of that total, 19 percent said they somewhat disapprove, while 36 percent strongly disapprove.
The polling numbers come as Trump finds himself under siege on multiple fronts…
