Trumps disapproval ratings surge over weekend

President Donald Trumps disapproval ratings spiked over the weekend, making him the first president to receive the highest disapproval ratings within the least amount of time, according to a recent Gallup survey.
The presidential approval study, which has been conducted by Gallup since the Truman administration, concluded that more than half the nation was dissatisfied with Trump only eight days into his term, AOL News reported Sunday. The survey revealed that Trump had a 42 percent approval rating with a 51 percent disapproval rating when it came to his presidential performance thus far. Another president that came close to the ranking was former President Bill Clinton, who received a disapproval rating of about 50 percent 152 days into his first presidential term.
Trump carried a 45 percent approval rating within the first few days of his presidency, which began to falter Thursday following the announcement that he had signed an executive order that would greenlight a U.S. and Mexican border wall. Trumps disapproval rating further climbed over the weekend after he signed Friday an executive order on immigration, which barred refugees and citizens from several Muslim-majority countries. In response, protests erupted around the country and thousands arrived at airports across the U.S. to show their support for Muslims, The Guardian reported.

(7,432 posts)1. The ratings are NOT a sign of surging disapproval.
The 42% approval/51% disapproval are close to the figures just after the inauguration. IMO, it takes about a week to 10 days before an event-caused change in these figures actually becomes evident. Instead, we'll see a precipitous decline in his approval rating, coupled with an increase in disapproval, by the end of this week. We're likely to see disapproval at around 56%, approval at around 37%. Trumpy's approval rating will go down to about 30-32%, and that will be rock bottom. Those left who think he's a dandy are the ones who are crazier than he is. And there are plenty.
