I may be slow in posting nationwide polls. They have gotten repetitive in content, and few have yet to show what support for Trump is once the news about shady deals with foreign leaders (even if they fail) get to sink in -- and "stink in". This poll is commissioned by environmentalists, and the environment has lately gone into the background of political debate.
What is new? This pollster asks about Mike Pence as a possible Republican nominee in the event that something happens to the Trump Presidency.

What is new? This pollster asks about Mike Pence as a possible Republican nominee in the event that something happens to the Trump Presidency.
Quote:A new Public Policy Polling survey finds that a majority of national voters (55%)
disapprove of President Donald Trump’s job performance, while only 40% approve. A
further 52% of voters say they would vote for President Trump’s Democratic opponent in
the 2020 election, with only 41% of voters saying they would vote for Trump. Vice
President Mike Pence is performing better than President Trump on approval, but a
plurality of voters (46%) disapprove of his job performance while only 43% approve.
Meanwhile, only 40% of voters say they would vote for Pence, if he led the ticket in the
next election, with 49% of voters supporting a Democratic opponent.
When informed about Pence’s record on climate change denial and support of policies that
endanger the environment and public health, 45% of voters say they are less likely to vote
for him (were he at the top of the ticket). This includes 19% of voters who supported
President Trump in 2016, and 1-in-4 Republicans (26%). Nearly half (47%) of
independents are also less likely to support him. Only 23% of voters say they are more
likely to support him.
Voters are concerned about the Trump administration’s environmental policies. A majority
(60%) think that Congress should investigate the appointment of corporate lobbyists to
senior government positions, including the Environmental Protection Agency. This
includes 68% of Democrats, 61% of independents, and 51% of Republicans.
A majority (57%) also say that the Trump administration’s appointment of lobbyists for
coal and chemical companies to run the EPA is concerning, including 63% of
independents, while only 34% are not concerned.
