(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

3. Can't wait to see how low it goes

4. Seems that I recall...

that Trump's approval rating just before he took office was 43 percent, lowest of any incoming president. Which would mean in one week on the job he managed to lose one percentage point of approval for each day in office. At this rate, he'll reach zero approval rating long before he crosses the 100 day line.

6. "They lie! They lie all the time."

"Well, we're gonna do something about it folks. Such dishonest people, the media - except Fox! They've been very good to me."

7. This message needs to be disseminated far and wide

The last thing we need is for Trump supporters to start believing that Trump is actually fulfilling his promises because of one week of executive orders.

What about 'draining the swamp?' He hasn't executed anything on that.

9. tRump at -8% versus +24%. Dramatic and clear. . . nt

10. LOL @ 36% ....

Because pastes eaters.

[C_U_L8R]

11. And that's his big inaugural bump

Give Trump another week and he'll be in negative digits.

13. We survived a week

207 more weeks to go.

Hold on for dear life.

14. Trump is more incompetent than George W. I thought no one could be as bad as he was.

Trump is the worse.

15. So, the take-away being that aprox. 1/3 of Americans are complete and utter morans!! [sic] (n/t)
