President Donald Trumps popularity is in free fall.
A new poll released on Monday by Gallup found that Trumps approval rating has plummeted to 36 percent 2 points lower than President Barack Obamas nadir of 38 percent, which he hit in both 2011 and 2014.
Trumps 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 Ryans American Health Care Act was polling at around 17 percent before it collapsed.) Trump also faced a barrage of negative publicity over his campaigns ties to Russia, including an announcement from the FBI that it was investigating whether his associates colluded with Russian agents to influence the election.

(42,757 posts)1. I really don't think he wants to last four years.
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.

(960 posts)2. Why'd Obama hit those lows?
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.

(10,500 posts)4. That includes Friday polling. His numbers probably started tanking in Saturday. So by tomorrow
the numbers will probably be down to 34 percent.
