(CNN) -- President Donald Trump enters office facing low job approval ratings and skepticism from voters, according to a new Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday.
The survey found that 36% of American voters approve of Trump's handling of his job after his first week, while 44% say they disapprove. By comparison, former President Barack Obama received a 59%-25% approval rating in the first Quinnipiac poll taken after his inauguration in 2009.
Asked how they expected Trump's presidency to turn out, 43% say they think Trump will be a "good" or "great" president, while 52% said they expect Trump will be "not so good" or "bad" -- with 36% expecting the worst.
The Quinnipiac poll also found that American voters are critical of Trump's personal qualities. Large majorities say that he is not level-headed or honest, and 53% say that he "does not care about aver Americans."

(7,814 posts)cause such polarization that facts don't matter, to manipulate voting districts, to trash science/education/knowledge, demonize the vulnerable, and find a way to get a third of the country to vote against their own interests. Now...everything has aligned including enough sociopathic elected representatives to actually implement the plan. Golden opportunity.
Erasing the New Deal has been a top priority, and Limbaugh has admitted as such. The GOP has no problem telling people they are saving Social Security and Medicare while they destroy two of the most successful government programs ever. They will simply lie about what they are doing...and I'm not sure what effective defense the American people have.

(19,066 posts)The end game is Trump and his cabal raiding social security. The want that money for themselves and the idea of the peasants getting to retire and stop working at any age appalls them. Work until you drop dead they will push, and if you are too old or sick to work you have no value so you can die in the streets.
There is zero hyperbole in my post, this is exactly what they are working towards.
