New Poll Sees Bad Milestone for Trump

A new poll from the Washington Post and ABC News finds that President Trump's disapproval rating has hit 60% for the first time. That's the percentage of overall voters who don't approve of Trump's performance, though the partisan split remains enormous. Among Republicans, 78% approve of Trump's performance, while only 6% of Democrats feel the same way. Independents are roughly in the middle of those extremes at 35%. Overall, Trump's approval rating is at 36%. Some of the other numbers:

• 63% support Robert Mueller's investigation; 61% of Republicans oppose the probe, while 85% of Democrats and 67% of independents support it
• 64% say Trump should not fire Attorney General Jeff Sessions, a sentiment backed by 47% of Republicans
• 23% of college-educated white women approve of Trump, which is down 17 points from April 2017
• 49% say Congress should begin impeachment proceedings
• 45% of whites support him versus 19% of non-whites
