I Like Politics

“President Trump” has on average the lowest presidential approval ratings of at least the last twelve presidents. I stopped at Truman because I got bored.

PER https://www.factcheck.org/2018/04/presidential-approval-numbers

"The latest Rasmussen figures show Trump at 49 percent on April 17 and Obama at 45 percent at the same point in his presidency.

Trump frequently cites Rasmussen, which Newsweek has called the president’s “favorite poll.” But Trump is cherry-picking.

Among 88 polls released this year, Rasmussen has the highest approval rating for Trump, according to Real Clear Politics. Three other recent polls have Trump’s latest approval as low as 39 percent: Gallup, NBC News/Wall Street Journal and Reuters/Ipsos. All three polls were taken this month.

If we look at Real Clear Politics’ average of polling data, Trump’s latest approval rating is 42.1 percent, a bit below the average of 44.3 percent on Jan. 27, 2017, a week after he took the oath of office.

Obama, meanwhile, had an average approval of 63.3 percent on Jan. 27, 2009, and an average of 47.7 percent on April 17, 2010, according to RCP.


(Not that big of a spread between the idiot Obama and Trump it looks like to me)

FiveThirtyEight provides a weighted average of presidential approval polls and compares Trump’s figures with those of past presidents, going back to Harry S. Truman."

Because normal people who work for a living are outnumbered by lazy ass liberals, illegal immigrants and just plain dumb asses like you. Besides I see you do not even live in this country but in the land of socialists and a place where lazy ass is considered an art form.

There's a 'but' there though.
His approval rating among Republicans is really high.
That speaks way more to culture and personality types than reality.
