The charts above reflect information in the latest Quinnipiac University Poll -- done between March 3rd and 5th of a random national sample of 1,122 voters, with a 3.5 point margin of error.
The charts show the job approval numbers of Donald Trump and the Republican-dominated 115th Congress. Neither looks very good. Trump continues to have a negative net approval gap of 18 points, and that has been roughly true since he was sworn in. He seems unable to close that negative gap.
But the numbers for the Republican Congress is much worse. It has a negative net approval of a whopping 67 points -- and like Trump, they have not been able to improve those numbers.
These are not just bad numbers -- they are terrible numbers. It's the kind of numbers that could result in a wave election (which could flip control of one or both houses of Congress). And since Trump's numbers are also upside-down, the Republicans running for re-election can't depend on him having any coattails on which they can cling.
Trump and the Republicans have a few months to change those numbers. If they can't change them (which they've been unable to do so far), then the November election could be disastrous for them.
