Source: Daily News

President Trump’s approval rating has fallen to a new low of 37% since he took office in January, according to the latest Gallup poll.

While 37% of Americans approve of the job the President is doing, 58% disapprove. His approval rating stood at 45% last week, poll numbers showed.

The daily poll results are based on telephone interviews with 1,500 people nationwide and has a 3% margin of error.

Trump’s predecessor, Barack Obama, consistently polled approval ratings in the low 50s and his disapproval ratings were in the mid-40s all throughout March 2016, according to Gallup.

I can't believe Tiny Hands' numbers are that high

[rpannier]

1. 33% is probably rock bottom

Then he starts losing the Republicking base
22% is probably hard core base

[Rorey]

2. That's Gallup.....BUT

His ratings are sinking with Rasmussen and FoxNews too. He's on a death spiral. Surely he knows.

[cstanleytech]

6. He doesnt care because he lives in a bubble where anything negative thats about him is

"fake news" and the only "real news" are positive stories often from places like Fox News, Breitbart or FreeRepublic which are entirely filled with partisan wannabes that wouldnt know honor, integrity, truth or a fact if it came up to them and smacked them in the face.

[zentrum]

20. Agree. He doesn't...

...care. The people around him know how to praise him and feed his grandiosity. He'll keep doing rallies in the south where the audience makes him feel important and powerful. He plays golf at 'Lago every week. He's feeling fine in his hamster ball.

[FakeNoose]

3. Get ready for another tweet-storm

What else can he do?

[apnu]

31. Get bored or sick of the constant disrespect and quit.

Like the weak chicken-shit he is. That man has never seen adversity in his life and he has no idea what to do with it. No, his bankruptcies do not count. The reason he never wound up in the poor house is because he always separated his personal wealth from his business wealth. Trump Casinos can all burn to the ground and his daily lifestyle won't change one bit. He will never lose his Park Avenue address. He has no idea what real work is.

4. Fake polls by losers; people love me!

Can't wait to see that delusional tweets tomorrow!

7. There will always be some people who will continue to support him

because they actually agree with his racism, misogyny, xenophobia and Nazi-ish nationalism and find his boorishness to be charmingly macho. They will never be convinced that he is anything but the savior who will Make America Great Again. There will also be others who are probably starting to figure out that he isn't what they voted for and is likely to screw them, but human nature being what it is, can't bring themselves to admit they were fooled. I do think his approval ratings will drop more but will plateau at some point. Nixon bottomed out at 24% in 1974 when all the Watergate dirt came out but he did manage to hang on to that core of true believers. After he resigned it was hard to find people who'd admit having voted for him, but even then there were some people (a few of my relatives included) who believed he'd been framed.

9. And some people who are just plain stupid eom

[ProfessorGAC]

24. Yesterday On CSPAN WJ

Two callers were still beating "we won, you lost, get over it" On Saturday, one dumb woman said he's the greatest president ever. Greatest EVER! He's been in office for 15 minutes and he's greater than Washington, Lincoln, FDR, TR? What an idiot.

[apnu]

32. America has always had this kind of person living here.

At no point in American history is there a time when we didn't have racist, misogynist, xenophobic, people living among us in sizable populations. We will always have them until we can come to terms with all that, look it in the eye, and dispel it. And even then, there will be people who've learned hate and will never let it go, they are damaged forever. What we can do is try and save the next generation from their hate and hopefully wait for nature to take its course.

10. fixed - thank you!

[tenorly]

12. And half of that, he owes to Faux News.

Raygun knew what he was doing when he rescinded the Fairness Doctrine and rushed the Australian lizard his citizenship papers.

[Doreen]

13. I think somebody should tweet this to hiim every single day.

It would just be funny...why?....just because it would be.

[turbinetree]

14. He's on a golf course burning through tax dollars at a weekend rate of 3 million

and he gets a blue jacket that says Seal of the President, he has no empathy------------none

[JI7]

15. i think it's because of meals on wheels

[eggplant]

16. I really don't understand the headline.

"sinks lower" suggests that there was a point where it was higher. But last week, Trump's approval rating was 45%, and Obama's was consistently in the low 50s.

[Grassy Knoll]

17. False Equivalency Bullshit....

[UpInArms]

18. well, that's because the corporation's lackeys can't do anything

without a false equivalency

[frazzled]

21. Compare the first year approval ratings

Obama began in the high 60s and didnt fall below 60 until mid June. Hitting 37 by March is not even in the same league.

22. That headline is confusing.

I read it a few times and it still made no sense to me.

[Princess Turandot]

23. The weird article heading seems to have garbled the related tweet which said...

... "New poll sees President Trump's approval rating sinking lower than Barack Obama's ever was."

Link to tweet

[ToxMarz]

25. I don't understand the title, as if he just edged out Obama's approval

How about his approval sinks lower than Herpes, cockroaches and diarrhea His numbers and Obama's don't merit being mentioned in the same sentence.

[BumRushDaShow]

28. This

The false equivalence.

[Charles Bukowski]

26. Garbage title

Obama's approval rating at the two-month mark was nearly twice as high as Trump's. THAT'S your headline, not this misleading crap.

[Cha]

30. I know.. that was bizarre

[no_hypocrisy]

27. MANDATE! MANDATE! MANDATE!

[Cha]

29. he cares enough to lie about it

[titaniumsalute]

33. Folks let's stop with the "I can't believe it is that high"

You have to think of a few things here.

A. You have a block of right-wingers who no matter what will always back the president on "their" side. Remember Bush? That is probably about 25-27%. (CBS recent poll had the number at 21% of die hards but I think it may be a little higher.)

B. You will always have a contingent of people who want to believe in the President no matter what. Say around 5 to 10%.

C. This is all with a good economic situation at least for now. If you start to see some real cracks/recession it will really tank.

But, the bottom will probably be somewhere between 30% to 33% no matter what.

However, if Trump gets into this realm of approval it really isn't good especially for the Congressional Elections, Gubernatorial, and State Elections in 2017 and 2018.

[gopiscrap]

34. it shouldn't even be half that
