1989 George Bush 56%
1993 William J. Clinton 55%

2009 Barack Obama 65%

America really was happy-go-lucky in the 50s and 60s. The national energy and outlook must have been completely different.
 
Create Ebola and ISIS

He also hit 37% years earlier trying to cut Social Security with chained-CPI and ending up with the sequester while the economy was still pretty terrible.

That one is totally on him.
 
What % of America is rich people and corporate executives?

Curious how much of that 36% is made up of those people.

A small minority.

Best thing about this, is he's now officially hit a lower low than Obama ever did, and there's no undoing that.

Sure, he'll keep hiding behind approval polls based on likely voters handled by the right leaning Rasmussen, as if that's the same thing (it's not), but now, no matter whatever else happens, he was factually more disliked than Obama was at any point of his time in office.
 
It might be a low rating for Trump but the highest since Reagan, or possibly ever. People are saying the White House is doing so much progress in making America great again, a lot of progress.
 
Isn't it people realizing that he wanted to fuck them over?

Considering how GOP approval of Russia skyrocketed...nah. They just really enjoy getting fucked by the rich and corrupt and are probably sad they still have health care that values human life. With Republicans always expect the worse, and prepare for it because you'll get worse than that.
 
"Emperor Palpatine gets low approval ratings"

He's loving it though

And the Russia shit hasn't even hit the fan yet.

That's gonna be a fun day.

That's been the Rep's long con. They saw what Putin did and decided to plant the seeds. The teabaggers, the neo nazis, the 'muricans, that's Trumps faithful. And they're all just happy setting their own homes on fire just as long as 'libtards' are upset. This is a game of chicken for the Republicans, and the margins are getting slimmer faster and faster.
 
Don't insult mah queen you misogynist!

And just think, Hillary lost to this guy.

You two are just too cute

@ the "its still too high" folks, see...

Trump's approval rating at this point in his presidency is completely unpresidented. He's absolutely going to smash GW Bush's 25% marker especially if/when the Russia stuff really hits the fan.

Probably not intentional and yet still true heh.
 
George W bottomed out at 25% approval.

Yup, but it's reassuring that Trump is reaching it 10x faster. He's reaching lame duck territory. Even though The GOP has the house and Senate, Trump is so bad at working with them and soon they're going to be thinking about staying in office next election cycle. If they keep in line as Trump reaches 25%, there's going to be a mass exodus next election cycle.

Pretty much. This is horrible for Trump.

And given how he has completely blown almost all of his political capitol already, and threatened half of the republicans in congress, who are now likely completely uninterested in working with him at all is bad news for him.
 
I just don't see a modern president now going below 25-27%, so if he bottoms out, that'll probably be where.

I can see Pence or Ryan if it comes to that and the Russia scandal blows up going even lower than that.

Trump will no matter what get a large chunk of base support that won't abandon him, but Pence/Ryan won't, and might even be blamed by the Trump loyals for his failures
 
I mean, 36% is actually pretty high when you look at the non stop steam train of destruction that is the Trump administration. It's still in the realm of being salvageable when public expectations are apparently so low.

I think it's pretty low.

People are stubborn. Even if they regret voting for Trump, it's telling that so quickly people have flipped. Usually people will cling to bad choices for a while.
 
1. FBI investigating trump campaign for possible treason
2. Failure to repeal and replace obamacare, a massive campaign promise.

I'd say it's a huge win for Trump to through a week like that and only lose 1 percent.

That presumes the this represents the full effects of the failure, which is hard to say from only 2 days following the bill being shut down.

Next week we will have better numbers IMO

If Trump's rating at 100 days is 35%, then looking at Obama's, I think we know what's going on.
 
Rasmussen is solidly disapprove, and Rasmussen is pretty consistent truth +5 GOP. Only Reuters is mixed, and I don't know how reliable that poll is.
 
1/3rd of the country are various shades of Diablos.

Is that guy still around?

Defending Trump would have to take the utmost dedication at this point - though it always required ignoring morals, facts, and reality.

I hope wherever he is it is dawning upon him that he made a terrible mistake.

Yes. Last I saw he was drooling over Bernie's healthcare bill while ignoring that he keeps rooting (and likely voting) for people that want to take healthcare away from the people.
