President Donald Trump's historically low job approval numbers have been a persistent thorn in the administration's side since January, and now according to Gallup, Trump is the first U.S. president not to at least reach a 50 percent job approval rating in his first six months in office.

Last week Trump crossed the six-month mark with 37 percent of Americans approving of the job he's doing, according to Gallup daily tracking poll. While 58 percent of those polled said they disapprove.

Trump entered the White House with a record low job approval rating of just 45 percent, a number he has struggled to climb back to throughout the early months of his first term, only reaching it one other time back in March.

For comparison, six months into former President Barack Obama's first term he held a 56 percent approval rating. And the previous Republican president before Trump, George W. Bush, also sat at 56 percent at this same point, according to Gallup which has been tracking presidential approval ratings since Harry S. Truman.

Sixty-seven percent of Americans approved of President Jimmy Carter six months into his only term.

Cuck

 

[Acorn]

Haha loser cunt.

 

[Cake Boss]

Sad!

 

[lush]

But...

 

[theaface]

37 percent of Americans approving of the job he's doing

Shit like this will never not be my main takeaway from stories like this.

 

[Demoskinos]

But yet this chucklefuck still won because of the electoral collage.

 

[Netherscourge]

But...

"This poll, which I have previously touted as inaccurate, is showing the best rating for me at the moment, so I'm doing pretty well."

 

[Frodo]

In other news: Trump finally excels at something!

 

[T-0800]

Doesn't mean anything when you can just make up your own numbers.

 

[lush]

"This poll, which I have previously touted as inaccurate, is showing the best rating for me at the moment, so I'm doing pretty well."

For that, he knows where to cherry pick:

For that, he knows where to cherry pick:

Is the 'O' short for 'OJ'?

 

[SporeCrawler]

he still has all the constitutional powers

 

[fr0st]

Obama

 

[CrunchyB]

Obama

I think that was a joke

 

[Gloggins]

That pathetic orange fartclown.

 

[Dead Prince]

all that matters.

i saw he posted some stuff yesterday and today lol.

 

[Master Yoshi]

Considering how terrible he believes Obama was, isn't he insulting himself by directly trying to compete with Obama's numbers?

This guy is the pettiest motherfucker alive.

 

[Messofanego]

Not surprising for the Failing President, all that low energy!

 

[FyreWulff]

fitting for a ratings-obsessed president

 

[Beartruck]

Its been a rough 6 months for him, good thing he's taking August off!

 

[JettDash]

Trump probably figured that once he became president, he would finally receive the adulation and respect he feels he deserves.

LOL

 

[Pilgrimzero]

The movies and tv and books about this massive cluster fuck will be amazing.

To bad it's ruined our standing in the world.

I mean that's why he run. Dude is a narcissist.
His first days in office and his term since has been him trying to use his powers to go after anyone that's ever insulted him including Obama by trying to reverse his entire legacy.

 

[Baron Doggystyle von Woof]

Fake polls saying I'm the lowest rated president ever. SAD!

 

[Horns]

And it's still way too high.

 

[MCN]

I hope he reads it, and I hope it makes him cry.

 

[Skinny Pete]

Should be at like 10%. Wake up America.

 

[Clefargle]

Stillborn administration

 

[Linkark07]

He should be proud of that. First president ever to not reach 50% in the first 6 months. A milestone, only done by Trump. All other Presidents should be ashamed.

 

[Mahonay]

So much winning.

 

[AngmarsKing701]

This.

If we survive long enough for books and movies to be made.

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

Maybe we should do something about that voting system that makes it so someone this unpopular can even become President...

 

[GrizzleBoy]

That males him smart.

 

[Hyun Sai]

37% is worrying, frankly. Nor for him, but for the US.

 

[YesThatGuy]

Is called, joining the rest of the world in the 21st century. You know, direct vote, metric system, free universal healthcare and education. All that jazz.

Yeah but can you own an AR-15? No? Yeah I didn't think so.

 

[Oppo]

Yeah but can you own an AR-15? No? Yeah I didn't think so.

you can in Canada. need more training to get one than the US obviously.

 

[HStallion]

all that matters.

An A+ for the first 6 months? Man some people are so far up their own assholes they're coming out the other end.

 

[Frustrated_me]

Just stumbled upon this picture again and I know exactly how the conversation went before they agreed to meet.

"Don't worry Mit, there won't be media or photographers" - Trump
"Ok Mr. President, I'll be there, hoping to reach mutual agreements tonight" - Romney

Meeting occurs, Trump invites a photographer to further embarrass Romney. The picture captures it all.

 

[Theonik]

But Canada still has FPTP.

 

[Exile20]

Most accurate compared to what? What does that mean? How does he know this?

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Should be at like 10%. Wake up America.

Do we know what the lowest for any President ever is?

 

[Oppo]

But Canada still has FPTP.

sadly our PM shot down the promised voting reform on his way to the next Instagram booking.

I feel like it will come back though.

 

[kaching]

Now would be a good time to trot out those inauguration pics again. Not as many people came to his inauguration because they were working, I'm sure the same can be said of these polls.

/s

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

I'm not really that phased that about a third of the country approves of him. Republicans have already made it clear that they'll stan for anything with an (R) next to its name, and his favorables have only gotten worse as time goes on. We're only six months in and he's already breaking records in unlikability.

 

[RuGalz]

Trump should celebrate his first big win.

 

[GK86]

Finally, an achievement. I was beginning to think he wasn't going to accomplish anything in his first six months.

 

[DrkSage]

The movies and tv and books about this massive cluster fuck will be amazing.

To bad it's ruined our standing in the world.

Then he'll start saying how the movies, tv shows, and books about his failure as a president are such a huge success that everyone should go see/read them because well... "They're about me"

 

[Neuromancer]

Damn, even AOL is ragging on him now.
