Trump approval, Gallup: 36%, 2 points lower than ANY time in BOTH Obama terms.



President Donald Trump’s popularity is in free fall.

A new poll released on Monday by Gallup found that Trump’s approval rating has plummeted to 36 percent — 2 points lower than President Barack Obama’s nadir of 38 percent, which he hit in both 2011 and 2014.

Trump’s popularity took a particularly sharp nose-dive last week, when the president was throwing his weight behind an unpopular House health care bill, according to Gallup. (Speaker Paul Ryan’s American Health Care Act was polling at around 17 percent before it collapsed.) Trump also faced a barrage of negative publicity over his campaign’s ties to Russia, including an announcement from the FBI that it was investigating whether his associates colluded with Russian agents to influence the election.

He's been fuggen up intentionally since day one. He's backed out of campaign promises, put unqualified people in high positions, pissed off the people who elected him and insulted other world leaders. He is on a downward spiral and it looks like that is just what he wants.

Well, whatever, if Obama acted like Trump he'd have polled at 2% because Republicans need undying devotion to their Dear Leaders to be able to exist in their reality-proof bubbles.
