Disapproval of President Donald Trump Grows in Latest WSJ/NBC News Poll

[Goprox]

Source: Wall Street Journal

Americans have become increasingly dissatisfied with President Donald Trump as he nears his 100th day in office, with views of his effectiveness and ability to shake up Washington slipping, a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll finds.

More than half of Americans—some 54%—disapprove of the job Mr. Trump is doing as president, compared with 40% who approve, a 14-point gap. That is a weaker showing than in the Journal/NBC News poll in February, when disapproval outweighed approval by 4 points.

While Mr. Trump still draws overwhelming support from his own party, he risks losing the nation’s political middle ground. Among independents, disapproval rose markedly, to 54%, while 30% approved of his job performance. That 24-point gap compares with a 9-point margin of disapproval in February.

Wow that's low.

[samnsara]

1. im shocked its as high as 40%!

[Sunlei]

4. Fuck the polls and the kellyannepolls publicity train they ride around on today.

[FakeNoose]

15. No pollsters have called me

If they had, the numbers would sure be lower than that.

[Sunlei]

18. Republican party never calls the lists of D voters they 'paid' Russia to steal for them.

:large

[FakeNoose]

23. Great list, but it's missing something

... ___ Sneak tax cuts for the rich into any bill that will pass in Congress.

Seriously I do like this list and I'm probably going to borrow it. Thanks!

[Sunlei]

24. Republicans don't even sneak, they get some 250k investment horse & dance/race the poor thing

until it gets sent to the knackers and they get a 250k tax deduction and a new horse.

[mcar]

2. Republicans are going to start jumping off the Trump train soon

They need to protect their phony baloney jobs.

[Sunlei]

3. Republicans already scammed him into office. Time to impeach their conman and all Republicans who

colluded with Russia to fuck Americas democracy.

[Cha]

5. Last I heard it was 34%.. now down to 30%..

we said at the time.. here's to going lower.

[Honeycombe8]

6. Unfortunately, that approval is UP from 35% or 37% recently.

Go figure. Must be the bombing thing.

[Goprox]

11. That's false. The last WSJ/NBC poll had him at 44%

He is now down to 40% http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/president_trump_job_approval-6179.html#polls

[Honeycombe8]

16. Must have been another poll. Quinnipiac, maybe. He went from 34% to about 40% after Syria bombing.

So both polls are at about 40%. It shouldn't be that high, altho still historically low.

[Sunlei]

19. yup, 95% of Republicans said they'd vote for the conman again. That's why I don't trust Republicans.

They don't have Americas best interests at heart.

[Princess Turandot]

27. I believe it was the rolling Gallup poll where he dropped into the 30's in disapproval ratings..

They announce their results once a week, or at least, have been doing so.

[Plucketeer]

7. And yet the legeslative bodies press on

as if it's just another presidency. Heh - we don't need NK aiming at us - we're gonna have a meltdown of our own.

[Akamai]

8. Onn the other hand, I was watching an MSNBC interview which included Ed Rendell and the female

MSNBC host badgered him many times for a more positive answer about trump after Rendell said that trump's first 100 days has been a failure. "Well don't you think he has improved?" yadda, yadda.

The press is still not close to telling the American people how terribly Trump is governing the country, how clueless and how unmotivated he is to get at facts, etc.

[BumRushDaShow]

10. "The press is still not close to telling the American people how terribly Trump is governing"

That is because the "press" has no idea how the government operates either. It's like the blind leading the blind.

I remember in 2009 - 2010 during the ACA hearings and legislative markups, how the "press" kept insisting that a particular draft from one committee in one chamber of Congress (despite the fact that multiple committees in both the House in the Senate were working on versions) was somehow "the bill" (i.e., the "final" one ready to magically go to the President at any moment).

So this type of ignorance and conscientious stupidity continues from them.

[BigDemVoter]

12. EXACTLY

And I've really learned how STUPID so many members of the media really are, as evidenced by so many obviously false statements. "Trump really became president last night" (after missile attack on Syria). . . . Another comment I JUST read in the NYT about Paul Ryan's "wonkiness." BULLSHIT. He didn't even have a functioning plan for healthcare, and nothing he says is true, yet the press STILL treats him as some kind of fucking guru. These are but 2 examples of a flood of shit that passes as 'news.'

[BumRushDaShow]

14. Bingo!

Particularly their bullshit characterizations of Eddie Munster. He spewed nonsensical gooble-dee-gook non-stop and they completely fell for it as if it were something "substantive". And worse, they were too lazy to even research whether any of it made sense.

[Akamai]

17. I thnk it's worse than that -- many of them know the truth, such as -- trickle down doesn't work --

but they don't want to lose their paycheck, or in the membership of those who pretend to believe this bullshit.

[BumRushDaShow]

20. They think we forget

what happened regarding Raygun and the remark that Poppy made about "Voodoo Economics". But we don't forget (and neither did the media 35 years ago! ).

Though all too many saluted the bombs, they only gave him a very tiny jump in the ratings.

[Chicago1980]

21. And yet,

the majority of the morons who voted for this troglodyte, don't regret it.

[FakeNoose]

22. But they will though, I have no doubt n/t

25. Never underestimate the stupidity of conservatives.

Nearing 100 Days, Trump's Approval at Historic Lows 4:08

Nearly two-thirds of Americans give President Donald Trump poor or middling marks for his first 100 days in office, including a plurality who say he's off to a "poor start," according to results from a brand-new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.
NBC News

Forty-five percent of respondents in the survey believe Trump is off to a poor start, with an additional 19 percent who say it's been "only a fair start." That's compared with a combined 35 percent who think the president's first three months in office have been either "good" or "great."

Trump's 100th day in office takes place on April 29.
...................

Trump's overall job-approval rating stands at 40 percent — down four points from February. It's the lowest job-approval rating for a new president at this 100-day stage in the history of the NBC/WSJ poll. ...............
