Gallup Poll: Trump Job Approval Slips 6 Points In Past Month

Mod: The immensity of Trump's many failures is rapidly taking a toll on his diminished reelection prospects. Who is there left for him to blame now?

Gallup Poll: Trump Job Approval Slips 6 Points In Past Month(MSN link): President Trump's job approval rating has slipped 6 points in the past month and now sits at 43 percent as his administration handles the fallout from the outbreak of the novel coronavirus, according to a new Gallup survey.

The survey, released on Thursday, found that 43 percent of American adults approve of the way Trump is handling his job as president, while 54 percent say they disapprove. The findings represent a significant drop from a March 24 Gallup poll that found Trump's approval rating had climbed to 49 percent, which matched a personal best for his presidency.

Trump's approval rating also sat at 49 percent in late January and early February, around the time of the Senate impeachment trial that concluded with his acquittal.

The president's approval rating experienced another boost in mid-March as his administration began implementing social distancing guidelines to help slow the spread of COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus.

The latest Gallup survey found that his approval declined among Democrats and independents. Just 7 percent of Democrats approve of Trump's job performance, a 6-point decrease from mid-March. Trump's approval among independents also declined by 4 points and now stands at 39 percent.

Trump supporters fear Bill Gates wants to make a COVID-19 vaccine to secretly implant them with brain chips (Raw Storylink): Some supporters of President Donald Trump have latched onto a new villain to attack during the COVID-19 pandemic: Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates.

As The Daily Beast’s Will Sommer reports, Trump-loving social media personalities Diamond & Silk this week uncorked a bizarre conspiratorial rant about Gates working to develop a vaccine for the coronavirus to use unsuspecting Americans as “guinea pigs” in a plan to “rule the world with vaccines.”

And Diamond & Silk are far from their alone in their suspicions about Gates— Newsmax White House correspondent Emerald Robinson said he believes that Gates is going to use the vaccine to “track” people, while Trump ally and convicted felon Roger Stone has flat-out said that Gates will use the vaccine to “microchip” people.

Brooke Binkowski, the managing editor of fact-checking site Truth or Fiction, tells Sommer that Bill Gates is rapidly becoming the right’s biggest bogeyman after financier George Soros. “These are all just recirculated, warmed-over stories—they’re just switching the names around,” she said. “George Soros was the bogeyman, now it’s Bill Gates.”
