Another Poll Found President Trump’s Approval Rating Is Historically Low

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.

Just curious. Out of those 1,002 individuals polled, were any of you Freepers included? Nobody called me.
By the way, I don't understand why the computer insists on calling this an excerpt when it is not.

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

If it says “MSNBC”, “CNN”, “NBC”, or “CBS”, I generally pay the “news” promulgated by said outlets no attention at all, unless it’s local news such as local arrests for a murder. And nobody called me for a poll either. I guess they want to stick to safe people to call, like those at an anti-Trump protest.

29% described themselves as Democrats,
25% described themselves as Republicans, and
45% described themselves as independents or members of another party.
All respondents were asked questions concerning basic demographics, and the entire sample was weighted to reflect national Census figures for gender, race, age, education, region of country, and telephone usage.
Crosstabs on the following pages only include results for subgroups with enough unweighted cases to produce a sampling error of +/- 8.5 percentage points or less.
Concrete proof here. The entire sample was modified and the error sample is through the roof.

The Media did everything they could do to boost Obama the Liar.
Now they do everything they can do to destroy President Trump.
We’re supposed to be surprised about low favorability? LOL
