Trump's Immigration and Overall Approval Rates Hit New Low

U.S. President Donald Trump is experiencing an all-time popularity plunge: as of April 2, his approval rating was at 39 percent, down from 41 percent during March, according to Morning Consult.

This is Trump's all-time administration low, beating his own disapproval rating slump from October and November where 42 percent of those polled didn't like how the president was governing.

Trump's approval has progressively slumped over the past year in the very states that supported him during the 2016 presidential race. He's registering a nine percent drop in Iowa, and a six-point dip in Tennessee – states currently discussing whether or not to incite a teacher strike for higher pay.

The March poll interviewed 97,693 registered voters in every state and Washington, D.C.

As Trump has sounded off against the migrant caravan of some 1,500 Central Americans traveling through Mexico, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll his approval on immigration has also dipped.

By March of this year, the public approved seven percent less than in February 2017 of Trump's immigration policies. Thirty-eight percent of those polled last month said they 'strongly disapproved' of his immigration policies, up from his 31 percent disapproval rating from February of last year.

Latin Americans living in the United States also increasingly disapprove of the president's immigration policies. In February 2017, 38 percent liked how Trump was handling immigration policy. That number fell to 27 percent in March of this year. As of last month, only 10 percent 'strongly approved' of Trump's immigration policies, down from his February 2017 rate of 19 percent.

Last month, only 38 percent of women approved of Trump's stance on immigration, down six points from his 44 percent February 2017 approval rating.

Organizers of the migrant caravan, which began at the Mexico/Guatemala border on Good Friday, have now announced the group will disperse upon reaching Mexico City. They had intended to collectively reach the U.S. border to ask for asylum, but the Mexican government blocked the group's movement after Trump called their immigration laws "lax."

The U.S. president is now threatening to send U.S. troops to the border, and claims that women on the caravan are being raped "at levels that nobody's ever seen before."
