Trump’s ratings recover a little after slump; Australian Labor retains large poll leads

Donald Trump’s net approval is up a little after a slump to a term low on November 23, as Republicans hold a federal seat at a special election. In Australia, Labor continues to hold large leads in federal polls, but received just 8.3% at the Hinchinbrook Queensland state byelection.

In analyst Nate Silver’s aggregate of United States national polls, Trump’s net approval is -13.5, with 54.8% disapproving and 41.3% approving. His net approval fell from -7.6 on October 20 to a term low of -15.0 on November 23. Since then, he has gained 1.5 points.

Trump’s net approval on the four issues tracked by Silver is -7.0 on immigration, -16.7 on trade, -19.8 on the economy and -32.5 on inflation. His net approval on the economy and inflation have both dropped since late October, with a slight recent rebound. On immigration, his net approval has dropped steadily since October.
