WNU Editor: The reason why I posted this story is that the Harvard CAPS-Harris poll is not a Trump or Republican friendly polling company. IMHO they always under-sample Republican voters.

This poll was done before the New York Times tax story, and according to Rasmussen Daily Tracking poll, it has probably hurt President Trump Their September 28 numbers now show only 46% of of likely U.S. voters approving of President Trump’s job performance. Fifty-three percent (53%) disapproving.
