The latest Harvard CAPS/Harris Poll, reported in [_The Hill_](http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/360786-poll-trump-job-approval-hits-new-low)_,_ notes that Trump’s popularity continues to fall: in September, the same poll said that 45% of Americans approved of the job he was doing. Fifty-nine percent currently disapprove, according to the newest data. The discontent appears to be drawn on party lines. The poll notes that 79% of Republicans still support him. Still, Trump is faring better than his own party. Republicans in Congress are suffering at a 29% approval rating, according to the poll. Despite controlling both houses of Congress and the White House, the GOP has failed so far this year to reach any significant legislative victories. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5029074/donald-trump-approval-rating-november/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5029074/donald-trump-approval-rating-november/"},"headline":"President Trump's Approval Rating Just Hit Yet Another New Low","datePublished":"2017-11-17T13:48:35.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-23T18:17:30.474Z","description":"It's at 41%, down 4% from September","url":"https://time.com/5029074/donald-trump-approval-rating-november/","keywords":["Donald Trump","White House","Republican Party","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt584c9aeaa5d9140b/6988e63f8fd2eebb78359aeb/gettyimages-874978596.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Nash Jenkins","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/p-nash-jenkins/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt584c9aeaa5d9140b/6988e63f8fd2eebb78359aeb/gettyimages-874978596.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"US-POLITICS-TRUMP-TAX REFORM","caption":"US-POLITICS-TRUMP-TAX REFORM","creditText":"Saul Loeb—AFP/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/donald-trump/","name":"Donald Trump"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5029074/donald-trump-approval-rating-november/","name":"President Trump's Approval Rating Just Hit Yet Another New Low"}}]}] ```
