Trumps approval rating in the Gallup survey, conducted last Friday through Sunday, opens at 45 percent the same percentage of Americans that said they disapprove of Trumps first weekend on the job.
In fact, Trump is beginning his presidency with the lowest initial approval rating in the modern polling era, according to Gallup.
But while Trumps first approval rating is improved from the poor reviews Americans gave to his presidential transition, it is also lower than previous presidents a sign Trump has entered the White House without the same support from Americans that others have enjoyed. Barack Obamas opening approval rating in January 2009 was 67 percent, George W. Bushs was 57 percent in 2001, Bill Clintons was 58 percent in 1993, George H.W. Bushs was 51 percent in 1989 and Ronald Reagans was also 51 percent in 1981.

Lowest in the modern era or not, it's still too high. We need to be vigilant to point out the negative impact of his deeds, because Americans are easily confused and distracted.

(743 posts)If they had polled people that voted for him, he would have had the highest rating ever. More than 100%. An internal White House poll of most some of his family showed that he polled at 1000%. 1000%! But the media won't even mention that now, will they? They've been against Dear Leader President Trump from day one and it's just not fair. The media in this country needs to learn to be fair to Putin the President or they wil pay a price.
