Trump fav  50/43

If election held again Trump 40 Clinton 36 Other 17

37% say U.S. headed in right direction, while 49% say it’s wrong; August survey showed 25%-68%

51% say they’re mostly or very confident Trump will put U.S. interests ahead of his company, family interests when dealing with foreign leaders while 47% say mostly or very skeptical

26% say Trump should sell all businesses so neither he nor family could profit from actions while in office; 69% say that would go too far

48%, say Obamacare should be repealed only with replacement; 27% say leave law alone; 19% say repeal first

No, a majority of Americans say that his family should not sell all their businesses. Big difference, in that one is legal and one isn't.

I'm sure the polling companies, which did so well this period, will find their prefered D+15 sample to have Trumps Favs underwater over the full 4 years.

The national polling average was actually better this year than in 2012.

Source?

Final RCP average this year: Clinton +3.3
Result: Clinton +2.1
Error: 1.2

Final RCP average in 2012: Obama +0.7
Result: Obama +3.9

Trump's approval rating according to Gallup is 45%

The quickest any elected president has fallen below 45% was Bill Clinton, who hit 45% in May 1993. If we include Truman, LBJ, and Ford, it still took Ford four months to get it that low. It's taken Trump only a week, and god knows how far it'll plummet now.
