These new numbers came as U.S. lawmakers, the House Republicans in particular, are in the middle of revising the healthcare bill that would take over and replace "Obamacare," also known as the Affordable Care Act, according to CNBC. This is also the time when Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director James Comey is to come before lawmakers to explain to them that no evidence has been found for President Trump's claim that former President Barack Obama was involved in wiretapping Trump Tower in the middle of the previous election.
These new Gallup poll results mark the lowest point of President Trump's job approval rating since the start of his term in the White House two months ago.
