Like a limbo, how low can he go? Trump's approval rating just entered a league of its own http://www.cnn.com/2017/12/19/politics/trump-approval-new-low-history/index.html President Donald Trump's approval rating sank to a new low in CNN polling on Tuesday, earning the approval of just 35% of Americans less than a year into his first term. That's a significant drop from the 45% approval rating that Trump had in March, shortly after taking office. It marks the worst approval rating in a December of any elected president's first year in the White House by a wide margin — and only the second time since the dawn of modern polling that a president's approval rating sank under 50% at this point. A broad 59% of Americans said they disapprove of how Trump is handling his job as president. George W. Bush ended his first calendar year at 86% approval, John F. Kennedy hit 77%, George H.W. Bush reached 71% and Dwight Eisenhower hit 69%. Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama all finished their first calendar year with approval ratings in the mid-to-high 50s. Ronald Reagan, previously holder of the worst approval rating in December of a first year in the White House, finished his first calendar year at 49%. (Note: There's time to recover; Reagan cruised to a landslide reelection despite this distinction.) This is according to a half century of available polling data from CNN, CNN/ORC, CNN/USA Today/Gallup and Gallup. Trump maintains strong approval numbers among those in his own party — 85% — but struggles with independents at 33% and Democrats at just 4%. The CNN Poll was conducted by SSRS December 14-17 among a random national sample of 1,001 adults reached on landlines or cellphones by a live interviewer. Results for the full sample have a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.8 percentage points, it is larger for subgroups.
Not on topic really but what the heck. Just heard a republican rep from New York state call AARP a "liberal organization." I was like, what did that lady just say? So as I suspected, literally anyone who criticizes anything done by the GOP is automatically "liberal" now. Good luck w that big tent, brosephine.
Still better than Trump. lol Gallup: Hillary Clinton's favorability rating hits new low More than a year after the 2016 presidential election, former Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton's favorability rating has dropped to a new low, according to a Gallup poll released Tuesday. The poll showed 36% of respondents rated Clinton favorably compared to 61% who rated her unfavorably, which is a new high for that measure. Gallup said this beat out her previous low of 38% at the outset of the general election last year and in 1992 when she was not yet a household name. Gallup's poll marked a five-point drop in the former secretary of state's favorability rating since June, when a poll of national adults showed 41% rated her favorably. Clinton's favorable rating reached a high-point in Gallup polling late into her husband's presidency and around her tenure as secretary of state. Former President Bill Clinton also saw his public image worsen in the same poll: 45% of respondents rated him favorably compared to 52% who saw him unfavorably. Gallup said this was the lowest level for him since shortly after the end of his presidency, when a March 2001 poll showed only 39% of respondents viewed him favorably. The former President has drawn renewed controversy in light of the nationwide discussion about sexual harassment and assault. New York Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand said in an interview last month that if Clinton's affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky had happened today, it would be appropriate for him to resign. The Gallup poll comes as President Donald Trump continues to receive low marks in public opinion surveys compared to his modern predecessors at this point in their presidencies. A CNN poll released Tuesday placed Trump's approval rating at 35%, the worst rating the President has received in CNN polling. Almost a full year into Trump's presidency, Gallup found his favorability rating was higher than his former Democratic opponent, with 41% of respondents in a December poll rating Trump favorably compared to his 56% seeing him unfavorably. Gallup's polling results were based on interviews with 1,049 adults from December 4-11, 2017, with a margin of error ±4% points.
hahaha, your deity Trump having record low approval ratings can't be possible right? Esp not in your little echo chamber.
Talk about self ownage... you are touting the guy with even lower favorability than the very unlikable candidate that lost.
Trump's approval rating is meaningless to me. His approval rating could be 20% or 80% for all I care. It is not going to change the fact that he is an extremely stupid, brash, insulting, petty, narcissistic, juvenile, hypocritical, lying, ill-mannered jackass.
Dream? Nightmare you mean. trump is like Freddie Krueger... most Americans are now too afraid to go asleep.
