Poll shows Trump's approval rating at near-historic lows and contains an ominous warning about the midterm elections
Congressional Republicans could be in serious trouble in 2018, according to the latest Quinnipiac poll.
Trump's approval rating stood at 36% in the poll, the second lowest approval rating the survey has measured during his presidency. On April 4, Quinnipiac found Trump's approval rating at 35%.
Republicans' standing may have taken a hit after the House passed leadership's unpopular Obamacare repeal measure last week. Approval for the legislation hovers around 38%, according to recent polls.
Trump's support has taken a nose-dive among his base in recent weeks. His approval rating among independents is just 29%, down from 38% on April 19. And, among white voters with no college degree — a group instrumental to his victory over Hillary Clinton in the general election — his support has plummeted from 57% on April 19 to just 47%.

Also, 66% of voters say Trump isn't "level-headed," and 61% say that he isn't honest, according to the poll.
