President Donald Trump's job approval rating has dropped to 37%, while 58% of Americans disapprove of his performance so far as president, new Gallup figures show. ***

Trump's approval rating hovered in the mid-to-low 40s in the weeks following the beginning of his presidency.***

Gallup tracks daily the percentage of Americans who approve or disapprove of Trump's job performance. The daily results are based on telephone interviews with about 1,500 national adults and have a margin of error of 3 percentage points.
Gallup: Trump job approval drops to 37% - CNNPolitics.com

This is the highest disapproval rating of any new President in our country's history, since we began polling.

This new low comes after the initial low of 45% approval/45% disapproval on 1/24/17 (Donald Trump Approval Ratings at Record Low for New President | Fortune.com) and the next historic low for a new President of 44% approval/53% disapproval on 2/7/17 (First Trump approval rating lags behind past presidents - CNNPolitics.com).

If this were a stock, an analyst would rate it a SELL. It's on a downward trajectory that's backed up by fundamentals, and is the lowest of all peer stocks in history. Dump this stock, take the loss, and invest in something more profitable and stable.

Will be interesting to see when our resident Trumpkins dump their stock.

Right and the stock market is almost 21000 so where is the disconnect? What exactly has Trump DONE not said that has hurt you and your family? I am surprised that with people like you and the media that the approval rating is this high. I will judge him on what he DOES not what he says, what he paid in Taxes, what he claimed about wiretapping, what he says Germany owes NATO, but how he creates economic activity, jobs and national security

I am no Trump supporter but Gallup has been claiming low Trump ratings prior to him winning the presidency.Yet he won the election despite gallop and others claiming low approval ratings for Trump. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.

[Even] Fox has his approval down at 43% on 3/15.
Though they buried that stat deep in the article.
Fox News Poll: Trump approval slips, even as more feel economy improving | Fox News
And he's probably slipped in the last few days, so 37% sounds about right.

That Fox poll also tells us the-Charles-Manson-of-Twitter has a 16% Approval rating on his use of that medium.
(aka, "Letting Trump be Trump")

It depends on when and if the Democrats can offer up a better alternative.

It's not me. It's the majority of people in the nation, as well as politicians, who have judged his performance as dismal.

How he has hurt the country, let me count the ways. He has harmed our close relationships with our allies Australia (who has fought with us in every war since forever) and Great Britain (accusing the country of illegally spying on Trump at the behest of Obama, of all things!), while continuing to have nothing but praise for America's enemy, Russia, and its brutal leader, Putin. Bizarre and mental. He has supported gutting the budget of our State Department, which bolsters our relations with other countries around the world.

He is backing the taking away of all things beneficial for the ordinary citizens (health care assistance, a clean environment, parks and green areas) while supporting massive amounts of money being given to the wealthy (millions to ins. co. executives, and then there will be the tax cut to benefit himself and other billionaires). Cutting Medicaid.

He is behaving bizarrely and unPresidential. He's a laughingstock around the world. A study out recently said that trust of our country has gone to less than 25%.

There are no jobs of any note forthcoming that HE brought us. None. There is no health care, as promised.

What a sad state of affairs it is when people judge the leader of the our country by whether he has personally harmed you or you or you. That's a pretty low bar. Even so, he has. All the ways mentioned above.

Additionally, the stock market now is sliding. The immigration issues have hit our tourism and travel business. Conventions are going to Canada instead of here. Businesses are finding it increasingly difficult to hire needed workers via work visas...people scared to come here for fear they'll be killed or harassed or have trouble going home.

Then there are the killings of those who look foreign ("Get outta of my country!" one of the murderers yelled). Let loose by a leader who stokes the flames of hate, segregation and fear.

There's something wrong with him mentally. He's not right in the head. The repeated delusional statements: That Obama was wiretapping him (he even mentioned that bizarre fixation on national tv when there was the visit by Germany's Merkel, suggesting that SHE was wiretapped, too), that he had the largest crowd at his inauguration (he wouldn't let go of that...he talked about that to anyone he could, including the Japanese P.M., oddly enough), that thousands of illegals were bused into Pennsylvania or somewhere to illegally vote which means he won the popular vote. Yeah...there's something wrong with him in the head. These are not things that normal human beings say or do.

Someone should say it. Maybe it will take a child, like in the children's story: "The Emperor has no clothes on." while all the adults around were pretending that the Emperor was clothed, to go along with the Emperor's delusion.

There are losers in the current stock market, as there always are.

The stocks are up due to business confidence, but not as a result of a change to any business fundamentals. This high will be followed by a correction, if not a downright crash.

But we all know this, right? That's how the stock market is.

No it isn't the majority in this nation it is the majority being polled. What purpose does this serve as Trump IS President so what do you hope to gain? Have you ever takne a civics class? Have you bothered to read what it really happening in this country with businesses and unions? Paid any attention to the stock market? Have you bothered to read what is going to happen with a 15-20% corporate tax rate? How about the Trump budget proposal?

I really don't give a damn what Trump says but rather what he does. You seem to care more about what people say than what they did which is why you supported Obama and Hillary. Rather sad how people like you are so easily influenced. This is a private sector economy that is going to react to lower taxes and lower regulations. You don't like it, tough. Do what you are doing, demonize, delay, divert, distort, buy the leftwing rhetoric and who knows, you could get that utopian socialist economy you seem to want.

So business confidence has nothing to do with Trump promises and his campaign promises? Keep delaying, keep diverting, keep investigating, keep demonizing Trump and you will not get the tax reform, ACA reform and that stock market crash you want

Not much, worldwide, stock markets have been on the upswing since the middle of last year...and most are out-performing US markets.
 
polls are always correct, remember nov 8 2016

Given that Clinton won the popular vote, we can say that the polls were correct. Glad you agree that Trump has an approval rating of only 37%.

National polls mean very little, as they only reflect the total popular vote, not the EC.

Until these polls are conducted WITHIN the 50 states and DC, they don't mean ****. National polls on the POTUS only mean something if they reflect the electoral college .

The STATE polls were correct, as they either had trump winning or were within the margin of error, just as NATIONAL polls were correct or were within the margin of error .

given that the popular vote has no bearing, we can say the poll means nothing since they predicted Hillary would win easy and she did not and since that poll clearly showed polls cannot be trusted no matter what figure is used

no poll is correct is the sense it can be skewed, because of who is polled and how the question is asked.

More denial. Yes, it is...that's what polling is about. It can be extrapolated out.

His performance is dismal. You are not facing reality, so you may taking your cue from Trump. Deny until they throw you out, all the while still denying.

Your enemy is not me or your other co-citizens. He's demonizing himself. There's something very wrong with him. He's not behaving like a human being or a President, even in mundane situations. There's something wrong. Maybe you can't see it because you're so enamored of him. But something's wrong with him. This is what's being said behind the scenes by Republicans, even. If you can't see it, you need to pay more attention. This is not about policies. This is about him, the person.

Recognizing that Trump is a lying moron has nothing to do with who the dems put forward.
 
How can Trump's approval rating be so low? He keeps having pep rallies. Rah rah!

Yet another guy who doesn't know what polls do.

Polls don't predict anything. Polls are simply numbers.

I would strongly disagree. Trump got a lot of votes because he was not Clinton. I voted 3rd party because as much as I couldn't stand Trump, I thought Hillary was worse. I would of supported Webb easily and could of stomached O'maley. But Hillary was the only person that could of made Trump look no so bad for many people

We we're bound to get stuck with a lying moron no matter who won.

I think you're missing the point. This isn't about voting for Trump. It's about recognizing that he's a snake oil salesman. It's a recognition that is independent of who you voted for or your party affiliation.

polls are nothing because i can ask a question in the city of ausitn and get the question one way, then go to the rural areas around austin and get another.

So you are the guy!
