Trump's Approval Rating Drops to New Low of 36%
www.gallup.com ^ | March 27, 2017 | Frank Newport

Posted on 03/27/2017 6:56:55 PM PDT by boycott

President Donald Trump's job approval rating fell to 36% for the three-day period of March 24-26, following Republican House leaders' failed effort to pass a new healthcare bill that would have replaced the Affordable Care Act.

Trump's three-day reading prior to Friday's events was 41%. His previous low point was 37%, recorded March 16-18. His highest reading was 46% in the week following his Jan. 20 inauguration, and he has averaged 42% for his term to date.

Trump's current 36% is two percentage points below Barack Obama's low point of 38%, recorded in 2011 and 2014. Trump has also edged below Bill Clinton's all-time low of 37%, recorded in the summer of 1993, his first year in office, as well as Gerald Ford's 37% low point in January and March 1975. John F. Kennedy's lowest approval rating was 56%; Dwight Eisenhower's was 48%.

Presidents George W. Bush (lowest approval rating: 25%), George H.W. Bush (29%), Ronald Reagan (35%), Jimmy Carter (28%), Richard Nixon (24%), Lyndon Johnson (35%) and Harry Truman (22%) all had job approval ratings lower than 36% at least once during their administrations.

I really don't stress over low poll numbers at this stage of the game. This has a way of backfiring on the media and the left.

The media and liberals have made him seem incapable of accomplishing anything. They've created low expectations. When things are better than the left made possible, people will say that he's not doing such a bad job. Timing is what matters most when it comes to polls. If he bottoms out now, his future numbers are more likely to be increasing.

Trump won the only 'poll' that mattered, on November 8.

It's funny the media is still clinging to polls, and are trying to us they're relevant after they blew up in their faces so spectacularly.

We know that in any poll hardcore democrat support level will always be in the 30s. No dem can lose them, no republican can ever win them over. If we assume it's the same for the GOP this poll would imply that Trump is losing everyone but bis base. The whole country is now ant-Trump except the true believers.

I don't buy it.

Gallup’s last poll had Trump at 37%.

At the time, another polling outfit had him at 52%.

Gallup, whose presidential polling was so atrocious it quit polling presidential elections, now tells us about Trump’s approval.

Add about 20 to this.

Any conservative who participates in these polls is helping the dark side of America.
