President Trump's first-year average job approval rating was at least 10 percentage points lower than that of any of his predecessors, according to Gallup.

Trump's job approval rating during his first year in office averaged 38.4 percent, Gallup reported. By comparison, President Obama's first-year average approval rating was 57.2 percent.

The only other president to average below 50 percent in his first-year job approval rating was President Clinton, whose average was 49.3 percent, Gallup reported. Six out of the 10 men who have been elected president since World War II have had a job approval rating averaging at 60 percent or higher during their first year in office.

Trump's average job approval rating during his first year also falls within the top 10 worst average job approval ratings for any president since Gallup started regularly recording the measurement in 1945.

Let me guess, if we had “Weekend at Hillary’s”, she’d be at 105% or even better as per Gallup.

Most poll respondents reply with what they think is the “correct” answer.

I wonder what O’Bungholes approval rating would have been if the entire media was volume 11 hostile to him 24/7 and not only blew up every mole hill into mount everest but simply accurately reported on all of his real scandals rather than ignoring them. If the media didn’t have their tounges so far up O’Bungholes uhhh Bunghole that they were french kissing and protected him at all costs and attacked vehemently any mile naysayer, he would probably have been the most despised man in world history

Amazing numbers for one who has been relentlessly attacked for two years.

Gallup can’t even get their own polls straight.
From another page on Gallup’s site:
“Obama’s average job approval ratings were generally similar in his first (49.1%) and second (46.7%) terms as president.”

Rebecca seems to have created her own approval ratings so she could write something about Trump. After today’s standoff, his approval rating surely will exceed those who are worshipers of Hitlary or Odumbo.

Actually, considering that 99.999999% of fake news stories out of the MSM are blatant anti-Trump diatribes, that’s probably not a bad number. The totally objective approval number is reflected in the Stock Market.

Gallup: Mind telling us what the approval was on Dec. 31 of each of these. Obama was getting in the 90s in the first weeks after his election and tanked from there on out. I’d bet.

President Trump’s approval rating is 75% throughout America except for the liberal East and West coastlines.
