Trump's Approval Rating Crashes Lower Than Obama's Ever Was

trump has beaten President Obama in one respect

Link to tweet

Compared with earlier presidents, Trump’s approval rating has been relatively stable over the course of his presidency, ranging from the mid-30s to the mid-40s. By contrast, President Barack Obama never fell below 40 percent in polling by Gallup.

Trump is also the only president in this poll never to reach 50% approval.

prolonged (thanks to GOP obstruction) recovery. Trump was handed a roaring economy, no major wars, and still he can't get Americans to like him. 34% approval with the unemployment rate at 3.8%?! That's the opposite of 4D chess. A tree stump would be at +55% right now.
