Gallup: Obama's average approval rating was LOWER than Dubya's and Nixon's

I expect more of the same to follow... barring some catastrophic incident that drives the current POTUS down or an national event (like a massive attack) that solidifies support behind him. A lot of the guys at the top of the list had them.

The old chap was already in the mid 40s, having actually dipped from 45 to 40 since his inauguration. With his latest ups I expect those numbers to be in the 30s or even 20s like good old Bush.

In the latest aproval polls done, more than 50% now dissaprove of how he's doing. Again, this was way before all the ity things he's been doing. Guy is fated not getting out of his base level of support which has always been the low 40s.

Too soon to rate anything about Trump, IMO.

Not a good sign when you've had nothing but nationwide protests since you took office though.

And Obama still finished worse than he started:



Just look at how those ratings plummeted when he wasn't newly-elected, campaigning or lame-duck status.

I think that shows that people were unhappy with the way the country was going, but each time they saw the alternative, then came running back.

Oh I can rate him on ability to throw out a false narrative and numbers.

I have never witnessed such a juvenile personality given power to run something so big. North Korea comes to mind with the fat boy. But in reality, I can see Hillary being given a much harder start than Trump. This is a time for extremes and vindictiveness.
