President Donald Trump celebrates the first anniversary of his January 20 inauguration deep in negative approval territory. Trump appears to ignore it, but it has the attention of Republicans facing a very difficult mid-term election.

Trump approval downturn, begun in November, was reflected in the November 4 Republican election wipeout. The public’s souring mood has continued in spite of Trump’s best efforts on economic action, public relations, and distracting foreign adventures.

His 13 percent negative approval is from the Republican-leaning Real Clear Politics. A different respected aggregator, Fifty Plus One, has him 16 points down, 40% approval to 56% disapproval.
