Donald Trump's approval rating at 40%, lowest of any incoming president in decades
NY Daily News ^ | January 17, 2017

Posted on 01/17/2017 4:58:29 AM PST by Zakeet

When President-elect Donald Trump takes the oath of office Friday, he'll be the most unpopular man to do so in decades, two new polls showed.

A majority of Americans - 54% - have an unfavorable opinion of the incoming president, a Tuesday Washington Post/ABC News poll showed. A second survey, conducted by CNN and ORC, reported that 52% of people do not approve of the way the president-elect has been handling the transition.

In each poll, just 40% of respondents said they view Trump and his transition team favorably.

The ink-barrel dirtbags never go outside the 57 blue counties (the high crime districts that Hilary won).

From the people who said Hillary couldn't lose. This stuff makes me want to watch the Young Turks Meltdown again.

Me neither, but it went there again.

Probably the Russians.

Wow—I so clearly hit the ‘enter’ and saw its effects, that I didn’t even check what was posted the second time.

Oh, well—people can get the idea—despite the politicized intelligence agencies getting some last licks in.

:: save his tweets for people and events that actually matter ::

That’s unpossible.
Trump’s tweets are the modern day equivalent of the “whistle-stop” campaign of Lincoln

http://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/lincolns-whistle-stop-trip-to-washington-161974/

Trump takes it to the vox populi and lets them decide.

I imagine that he has a personal phone reserved for his “tweets” and opinions...then a secure phone for the ^business end^ of governing. I see him tweeting something new every evening to the “interwebz-world”.

Hopefully, Kellyanne is vetting the former, prior to hitting send...yet, DJT might over-rule.

This tells me that there are way too many America-hating, freeloaders and foreigners living in our country who don’t want to see America great again. It’s “Me, Me, Me” and all about free stuff.

While I personally like his direct-to-the-public tweets, I also agree with you.
We know he is a hardworking person with tremendous energy.
President Trump can reduce his tweeting by 50% and likely obtain even greater impact from them.

Don't trust a poll of "adults."

Polls of "adults" include illegal aliens, permanent resident aliens, and others who may not have voted.

Polls like this will not match the actual recent election because only citizens presumably voted, but a poll of "adults" can include anyone.

And yes, it looks like they are using the same over-weighted turnout model that failed them in predicting the election results.

"The same polls that said Hillary was going to be President"

The polls said that Hillary was ahead nationally. But that's not how the pundits interpreted the polls. They made a big leap to predict that the national polls would reflect individual state election results. The real polling, on election day, confirmed what the national polls showed -- that Hillary was ahead. What the news media (and probably the majority of citizens and non-citizens in the US) have not yet gotten their brains wrapped around is that the popular vote and is NOT how US presidential elections are determined ... and that (of course!) is exactly what approval polls are going to reflect.

The Democrats became pretty sore about losing their supply of cheap labor after the Civil War, too. The Old South became reliably Democrat for 100 years.

Polls are fake, agenda driven propaganda ..... see 2016 election for proof.

MSM is toast ..... voting every election, city, county, state and with my dollars.

Hopefully DJT does NOT squander the next two years before the mid terms because these socialist rat bastards are gonna double down on getting liars elected to congress to stop him.

Must act with every minute available. In the case of business time wasted is money. In the case of a nation time wasted is perilous to liberty.

My opinion. Stay Safe !

Actually, the polls had Hillary ahead in the battleground states. She was a lock. That’s why everyone was so shocked.

However, I think the polls made assumptions about minorities that were wrong. Trump got more of the black and Hispanic vote than expected.

The polls were unbelieveably and criminally cooked just 2 months ago.

But ALL BETTER NOW, let’s forget that, LOOK, A SQUIRREL!
