Trump’s approval rating down to 40% with a majority of Americans also opposing troop deployments, new poll shows

Donald Trump’s approval rating has plummeted, with a majority of Americans opposing the deployment of the National Guard to US cities, according to a new poll.

Only 40 percent of people surveyed have a favorable view of the president, after he told a gathering of US military leaders that troops should be used to target an “enemy within” American society.
