Per an AP-NORC poll, 32% of Americans approve of President Trump's response to hurricane-ravaged Puerto Rico, while 49% disapprove. The poll was conducted before Trump's Tuesday trip to the island.
For context: 32% is in line with the president's general approval rating, but a Huffington Post/YouGov poll from August found that just 24% of Americans were dissatisfied with Trump's Hurricane Harvey response.
