Another Poll Found President Trump’s Approval Rating Is Historically Low
CNN ^ | Februaru 4, 2017 | Katie Reilly

Posted on 02/04/2017 8:33:26 PM PST by Retain Mike

President Donald Trump, who entered the White House with historically low approval ratings, continues to receive record high disapproval ratings compared to his predecessors. Two weeks into Trump’s presidency, a majority of people (53%) disapprove of how he is handling the job, while just 44% approve, according to a CNN/ORC poll released Friday. Those numbers reflect the highest disapproval rating for a newly elected president since such figures were first tracked, according to CNN. By comparison, former President Ronald Reagan’s initial approval rating of 51% was only slightly higher than Trump’s, but his disapproval rating (13%) was not nearly as high. The poll results were sharply divided along partisan lines, with 90% of Republicans voicing approval for Trump and just 10% of Democrats saying the same. CNN’s survey echoes the results of a recent Gallup poll, which found Trump to be the first president in the history of Gallup surveys with an initial job approval rating below 50%. Since his inauguration, Trump has faced several high-profile protests, including a swift backlash to his immigration order last week. Americans surveyed by CNN were divided in their views on the immigration ban. While a majority (53%) said they oppose the order, 47% said they favor it. The CNN survey of 1,002 adults, conducted between Jan. 31 and Feb. 2, has a margin of error of plus or minus three percentage points.

Remember, this includes criminals, illegals, resident aliens and visitors.

It is not “likely voters.”

The last poll CNN made before the election Showed president “Hillary Clinton” ahead of Trump 46% to 42%.

That does seem odd as Trump is president today? :) :) :)

Excellent link...

Per the article at the link:

Trumps chance of winning in Pennsylvania 11%

Trumps chances of winning in Michigan 6%

And that was updated for election day 2016!!!

"Most of us never answer our telephones if we don’t recognize the number.

We are working. We are busy. We don’t tell strangers who we support. Period.

You have given a perfect summary of the under polled conservatives in these polls skew the results.

...”Polls are not really News. Just a sub category of Fake News.”...

Good try, CNN. However, we believe nothing you say and have stopped watching you. You are a part of the attempt to take down our nation. Furthermore, we know that you and your anchors are the fringe with big microphones. If you dared to get out of your elite protected bubble, you might find a large majority who detest what you are trying to do and who would rejoice if you were off our airways tomorrow.

I also don’t like the idea of it ignoring the paragraphing I inserted.

From the article:

President Donald Trump, who entered the White House with historically low approval ratings, continues to receive record high disapproval ratings compared to his predecessors.

Two weeks into Trump’s presidency, a majority of people (53%) disapprove of how he is handling the job, while just 44% approve, according to a CNN/ORC poll released Friday. Those numbers reflect the highest disapproval rating for a newly elected president since such figures were first tracked, according to CNN.

By comparison, former President Ronald Reagan’s initial approval rating of 51% was only slightly higher than Trump’s, but his disapproval rating (13%) was not nearly as high.

The poll results were sharply divided along partisan lines, with 90% of Republicans voicing approval for Trump and just 10% of Democrats saying the same.
