Poll: Trump's approval rating makes him least popular first-year president on record

Source: The Hill

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.
