President Trump’s approval rating remains steady among all Americans (45%) and registered voters (46%) this week.

This week, as President Trump revealed his drug price reduction, healthcare remains the nation’s biggest problem (17%). Four in ten Americans (41%) approve of Trump’s handling of healthcare reform (54% disapprove), relatively unchanged from the past few weeks.
