Trump Approval Rating On Par With Obama’s After One Year In White House
December 28, 2017
Much has been made about President Donald Trump’s relatively low approval ratings, but Trump has ended his first year in office on par with his predecessor Barack Obama.
A Rasmussen poll released on Thursday put Trump at a 46 percent approval rating and a 53 percent disapproval rating.
On the same date at the end of Obama’s first year in office — December 28, 2009 — Obama was sitting at a 47 percent approval rate and a 52 percent disapproval rate. Just one day later, on December 29, Obama’s approval rating dropped to 46 percent.
Tracking approval ratings from their inaugurations, Obama had a much longer way to fall to get to his end-of-year approval rating.
On his inauguration day, January 20, 2009, Obama enjoyed 67 percent approval and just 32 percent disapproval. Meanwhile, R asmussen marked Trump with 56 percent approval and 44 percent disapproval when he was sworn into office on January 20, 2017.
Presidential approval ratings are generally high during inaugurations, and Trump only topped his on January 26, 2017, when he hit 59 percent approval. Obama was never able to beat his inauguration approval rating during the first year of his presidency.

Don't worry, I've already done some of the work for you.
Obama Approval Index History
So lets see Obama tracked at over 60% approval rating for the first 6 months whereas Trump tracked at a little over 50% for the first 2 months but somehow his approval rating is on par?!
Boy! It must be nice and breezy with that spin going on!
The amazing part is that @sixpack is limited to trying to claim Trump is equal to Obama, even though he is using Rasmussen! Normally Rasmussen is so biased to the right that it is off by 10 - 20 percent in favor of the Republican.
Gallup Poll
By the way Ozzwald, don't call me sixpack again.
Trump's composite approval rating is somewhere around a 33-34% bottom for Presidents historically after one year in office. Barack Obama remains respected and admired both here in the US and around the world. Donald Trump does not. In denial? Not me. Butthurt? We have had time to get over it. Election day 2018 is just ten months away with all the primaries between then and now. Vote Early! Vote Often! Vote Democratic...
Barack Obama is The Most Admired Man in the World and Donald John Trump is not...
Barack Obama is The Most Admired Man in the US. I'll note that Donald J. Trump is not.
Barack Obama could be re-elected today. Donald Trump could not be and would not be.
That is all I have to say on it. Any incapable of reading between those lines are blinded.
Vote like yours and posterity's viability depends on it. Vote Early. Vote Often. Vote Dem!
Election day is just ten months away. We can turn this ship around before it is too late...
LOL!!!
Same song that the left sang the entire time Donald Trump ran for office.....Bwahahahahahaha!
Rasmussen translates from the Danish to "Nose up Trump's Ass." It's the one and only poll showing anything like this and, of course, it would come directly from Trump's asshole.
That's right. We need to use reliable poll trackers like this one was on November 8, 2016. LOL
Rasmussen was the closest in 2016.
January 20, 2009, Obama enjoyed 67 percent approval and just 32 percent disapproval.
Amazing how badly he fucked up. To start from a rating like that and just bleed it away because he was such a mindless, partisan hack......
As they say, never go Full Pelosi.
And to think all this happened while Obama had a loyal lapdog media providing cover for him and Trump has to deal with 93% negative news coverage.
