Donald Trump Is The Most Unpopular First Year President In U.S. History
http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/365548-cnn-poll-trump-approval-rating-hits-new-low
President Trump ’s approval rating has dropped to a record low in a new CNN poll .
Just 35 percent of Americans in the poll released early Tuesday say they approve of the way Trump is handling his job as president.
Trump's approval rating slipped 1 point since November and is a full 10 points lower from his highest approval rating — 45 percent — in March.
The findings are lower than any of his predecessors at this point in their presidencies, the network noted.
All first-time presidents since Dwight Eisenhower have had approval ratings of at least 49 percent in December of their first year in office, according to CNN.
Other polls have listed Trump as the least popular first-year president in history . An Associated Press–NORC poll released last Saturday found that more than two-thirds of respondents said they disapprove of Trump, while only 32 percent approve.
The new CNN poll of 1,001 respondents was conducted between Dec. 14 and 17. It has a margin of error of 3.6 percentage points.

Poll: Trump's approval rating makes him least popular first-year president on record
President Trump 's low approval rating has made him the least popular first-year president on record, according to an Associated Press-NORC poll released Saturday.
The survey shows the president's approval rating sitting at 32 percent, while 67 percent disapprove. Trump's approval rating has remained steady in the poll from September, but is down 10 points from March.
Another AP-NORC poll conducted this month found strongly pessimistic attitudes among Americans toward the president in his first year in office.
Only three in 10 Americans polled said the U.S. is headed in the right direction, while 52 percent said the country is worse off since Trump entered office in January.
Forty-five percent of Americans polled said they did not believe that Trump has kept his campaign promises, compared to 23 percent who said he has.

The only thing I find interesting about this is how the Republicans and Trumpsters ignore this terrible truth.
The most unpopular president in history. Think about it.
The right wing dingbats will simply take the position that the polls are lying. It doesn't matter how many polls in a row show Trump to be WAY under water either.
Hillary won by how many percentage points?
Maybe if we show them the map:
There seems to A LOT of red in there. And look at that, even the liberal havens of California and New York have a majority of RED.
The polls count people. Your map counts prairie dogs.
Those prairie dogs elected President Trump.
They will re-elect him in 2020.
The posted map does not represent people, it represents geographical locations. If it represented people it would be slightly more blue than red, representing Clinton's narrow popular vote plurality.
And apparently they can't get that right. They gave President Trump's opponent what, a 95% chance of winning? Do they go out asking questions like they do for Family Feud? At least they are honest - "We ask 100 people...". What you seed here isn't even trying to be honest.
2.1% or 2.9 million votes.
Think about what? He is president now and will be till 2020, maybe beyond. Being unpopular is not an impeachable offense. And Trump will never step down. So you're stuck with him for three more years. And the best thing of all is that Hillary lost and the Democrats are in total disarray, reduced to whining and crying on message boards.
Maybe, we'll see what Mueller comes up with.
Trump should IMMEDIATELY stop saying he is doing this or that because the people wanted it.
There has not even been a day when he has had the majority of the people behind him.
His best known legislative plans such as health care repeal and the tax bill are very unpopular.
The reason his terrible polls matter is because they show he is full of shit. He needs to start acting like he realizes he is full of shit.
Trump is beyond help. But you know that.
I expected this as soon as the primaries converged. Given the two who somehow emerged as our crappy choices, whoever became PotUS was very likely to be historically unpopular.
Kind of amazing that 35% of Americans are dumb enough to approve of what Trump is doing.
It's astonishing.
an arrogant fucking asshole.
I'd rather be an arrogant fucking asshole than a fucking idiot.
