(CNN)As he approaches the first anniversary of his election victory over Hillary Clinton, President Donald Trump's approval ratings have hit historic lows.

According to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll, 59% disapprove of Trump's handling of the presidency — the worst of any president at nine months in office since modern polling began. Of those who disapprove, 50% say they do so strongly. Only 37% of those polled approve of Trump's performance in office.

Registered voters break about 45 percent Dem and 45 percent Republican. Yet this poll had 31 percent Dem, 23 percent Republican, and 46 percent independent/other/no opinion. And they asked for the youngest adult in the household, which in many cases would be a millenial living at home - and they break over 50 percent socialist/communist. So this poll is complete and utter bullbiscuits.

These polls are of questionable value. All they serve to give the media something to hype. Most people could care less about politics now. Maybe just maybe in about eight months the general public will take notice of politics.

“..Next time, they’ll probably sample 90% Democrats....”

Every time Nobama hit an all time low the numbers were still worked to be a point or two higher than the previously announced all time low.

And the same 37% who still say that Bill and Monuca didn’t have sex (because that’s what Hill and Bill told them) are the 37% base of any Rat poll.

ABC Election Night on YouTube - Stephanopoulous to Nate Silver: “So you’re changing your forecast”?? Irritated Silver: “No, I wouldn’t call it changing my forecast”, just that Trump is now favored to win.

Polls can be fixed by sampling, they type of questions that are asked, and how they are asked.

If the WP came out with a poll right before the next election saying that President Trump had the lowest approval rating in the history of the Presidency, I’d place a big wager that he’d win a second term.

The left is more delusional than ever. They think that Manifort is a giant scandal for Trump while not paying any attention to the multiple Hillary revelations I know that when Trump shows his hand they will not be able to comprehend it.

That kind of sampling makes the poll meaningless.
