Democrats' numbers are going down because people who are more on the left or liberal side want the Democrats to fight harder. 
They want to see more resistance to what Trump and the Republicans are doing.
None of this is good news for anyone.  We are becoming more divided.

Mike, I have heard that and the argument and it's stupid. Most of the people are agreeing with Trump in the white house. They should not fight harder against what the majority of people want.

You need to read more liberal forums. Approval rating can absolutely be affected by the base. Leftists, many of whom are radical, do not like Trump or his policies. Democrats are powerless to stop him, so their inaction is riling up their base, even though Democrats in power understand that many moderates have grown tired of their bad policies and are trying to move back to the center. It will take a combination of bad will from Trump and a return to center for moderates to embrace the Democrats again. That doesn't fix their base, though. They are still radical and are NOT moving back to the center. Dems have a problem that can only be fixed by Trump failing to do what he says he'll do.
