Only 36 percent of American voters approve of President Donald Trump's performance, according to a new Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday.

His disapproval rating was 58 percent among the 1,078 voters surveyed between Thursday and Tuesday.

The new results compare to a 40-56 percent approval rating in an April 19 poll that followed Trump's decision to unleash 59 Tomahawk cruise missiles on Syria in response to President Bashar al-Assad's use of chemical weapons.
