Why Are Trump's Approval Numbers Low? Ask The Haters
Investor's Business Daily ^ | 2/16/2017 | Staff

Polls: There several conflicting polls out about President Trump's approval rating. But one thing is clear in all of them: The only reason his numbers are low is because Democrats despise him.

The latest approval numbers come from the Pew Research Center, which found that Trump's overall approval rating in his first month in office is just 39%. That's far below every other president since Reagan. His approval rating was 55% at this point. Obama's was 64%, Clinton's 56%, Bush I's 63% and Bush II's 53%.

Pew's number is lower than the IBD/TIPP poll, which has Trump's approval rating at 42%. Rasmussen's latest poll is much higher, putting Trump's approval at 55%.

Still, looking at the Pew numbers it's abundantly clear why Trump's numbers are low.

Since Reagan, every president has gotten sky-high approval ratings from their own party -- from the high 70s to the mid-80s. Trump is no different. Among those Republicans and Republican leaners, 84% approve of the job he's doing. That's actually a higher score than Reagan got from Republicans at this point in his first term.

What's dramatically different, however, is the unique level of hatred for Trump by Democrats.

Here is what I know. I live in S. CA.

Since last June I have been driving all over in my Red Dodge Challenger that has “TRUMP 45” Vanity License Plates on it.

In all that time I have been flipped off by only two people, a Mexican guy in Escondido in a beat up Honda Civic and an a SUV driving Soccer Mom in Yorba Linda a few weeks ago.

(when I waved back at the Soccer Mom she was obviously embarrassed that I saw her, especially since her Daughter was sitting in the Passenger Seat taking a picture of my Plate with her iPhone) Wonderful Parenting by example.

EVERY DAY I have people waving, honking their horns giving me a Thumbs up, saying hello and talking to me in Parking Lots and taking pictures while I sit at Traffic Lights. I love looking in my rear view mirror seeing people’s reactions. It is quite entertaining.

If there is the general hatred of President Trump, I have yet to encounter it in my daily travels. Just sayin’...
