More job approval numbers

[tommyjo]

The preponderance of the data continues to point to a President with low and falling approval ratings. That Independent disapprove by a 46-36 margin is pretty telling. The number of independents continues to grow. Mr. Trump's presidency and the re-election of Ms. Pelosi as minority leader should only hasten the growth of independents.

President Trump’s Job Rating

Amidst a flurry of far-reaching executive orders signed during his first two weeks in office, President Trump’s first recorded job approval rating in the CBS News Poll is at 40%. 48% of Americans disapprove, and 12% don’t have an opinion yet. Views of the 45th President are strikingly partisan: more than eight in 10 Republicans approve and more than eight in 10 Democrats disapprove of how he is handling his job. Independents are more likely to disapprove (46%) than approve (36%).

President Trump’s first approval rating is a historic low when compared with other presidents during their first month in office, and he is the first president since 1953 (when Gallup started measuring the job performance of presidents just after their first inauguration) to have more Americans disapprove than approve of the job he is doing so early in his term.

Ratings of the most recent U.S. presidents were far less partisan. About a third of Republicans approved of the job Barack Obama was doing at the start of his presidency, and a similar percentage of Democrats approved of George W. Bush at the start of his first term.

Oh Gee. Does this mean Trump can't be President any more??

LMAO, get a life you poor pathetic loser.
I hate to laugh at the handicapped, but you are getting funnier by the day with your constant crying and abuse of posters.

Your obsession with ratings makes you look like a fool. They were wrong prior to the election because they were manipulated; and their wrong now.

So, nobody cares.

After 8 years don't you find it refreshing to have a President that doesn't give a #### about approval ratings and polls and more about what's best for the country??


IMAGINE parenting by approval ratings... how ####ed up your kids would be. THAT's What Trump is dealing with now.

Barack Obama's *average* approval rating - according to Gallup- over his terms in office never broke 50.
Second term average was 46.7.

I guess it doesn't matter WHAT you do so long as you look good doing it.
