A conservative-leaning poll released Monday showed President Trump with his lowest approval ratings in almost a year.
The Rasmussen poll found that 43 percent of likely voters polled approve of Trump's job performance, his lowest mark in the poll since January of 2018, when his approval was at 42 percent.
The poll also found that 55 percent of respondents disapprove of Trump's performance, including 46 percent who strongly disapprove. Another 32 percent strongly approve the job Trump is doing.
According to Rasmussen, Trump's approval rating has slipped since his prime-time address last week in which he claimed that a border wall is necessary to confront a "humanitarian crisis" at the border.
The poll's daily results are based on telephone surveys of 500 likely voters each night. The poll has a margin of error of 2.5 percentage points.
Trump has in the past touted the results of some Rasmussen polls, which generally show him with a higher approval rating than other polls and surveys.
