President Donald Trump’s approval rating dipped slightly to 44 percent in December amid a partial government shutdown, according to a Harvard CAPS/Harris Poll survey released exclusively to The Hill.
The poll was conducted earlier this week during a tumultuous period for the White House, as a partial government shutdown now stretches into its seventh day. At the center of that shutdown is a bitter standoff between the president and Congress over $5 billion in funds for Trump’s border wall.
