A new poll shows that President Donald Trump’s approval rating has fallen after his public feud with Elon Musk over the spending bill he is trying to push through Congress.
Trump’s approval rating is now at 47 percent, according to the latest Daily Mail tracking poll conducted with J.L. Partners.
It is down three points from May when Trump was at 50 percent approval.
In the latest poll, 53 percent said they disapprove of the president’s job performance.
The poll included 1,006 registered voters questioned on June 6, and had a 3.1 percent margin of error.
Musk is also now less popular with all Americans as 56 percent have an unfavorable view of the eccentric billionaire.
Just 34 percent of those polled view Musk favorably with 10 percent undecided.
Despite Trump’s ugly blowup last week with Musk, a plurality of Americans remain supportive of the president over the founder of Tesla.
The poll found 31 percent say they support Trump while just 23 percent side with Musk in the feud, and 46 percent were unsure.
The majority of Republicans, 59 percent, side with Trump, while just 12 percent side with Musk. Twenty-eight percent of Republicans remain unsure.
Twenty-six percent of unaffiliated Americans also support Trump, with 20 percent siding with Musk.
President Donald Trump continues to maintain support from his Republican followers
A plurality of Democrats now side with Musk, with 35 percent now backing him rather than just ten percent who support Trump.
The majority of Democrats and unaffiliated Americans, each at 54 percent, are also uncertain about who to side with, suggesting room for each figure to grow their support.
Despite Musk’s threat on Thursday to create a new political third-party, there is still minimal support among American voters for the idea.
Just four percent of voters signal support for a Musk party while 42 percent support a Democratic candidate and 35 percent support Republicans.
After hardcore Trump supporters publicly called for Musk to get deported, just 30 percent of Americans support the idea while 35 percent of opposed.
Musk left the White House at the end of May ending his time as a special adviser to Trump and spearheading his efforts to cut government waste, fraud, and abuse with his DOGE team.
But voters are increasingly skeptical about the success of his efforts.
Forty-one percent view Musk’s DOGE as a failure and 33 percent view it as a success. Twenty-five percent are now unsure about DOGE.
A majority of Republicans, 57 percent, view the DOGE effort as a success while 60 percent of Democrats view it as a failure. (Mail Online)
