Trump has reached his highest disapproval rating and lowest approval rating yet.

By which metric?

538’s average has him at 38.2% approval, lowest since early June when he was at his true low of 38.0%.

Similarly, RCP has him at 39.2% approval, lowest since mid-June when he was at his true low of 38.6%

Apparently this headline is using the Rasmussen poll (yes, the same Rasmussen all the other pollsters like to point at and laugh). It may still be a useful data point because Rasmussen is always so heavily skewed toward Republicans that it may actually provide a metric of what Republicans are thinking. In other words, Trump’s approval among Republicans may be at its lowest point ever.

That said, trying to ferret out usable data from a crap pollster is at some level hopeless. Man, I wish Mason-Dixon would do more polling, they were great.
