Trump Favorable Rating Dips

Source: Gallup Poll

APRIL 13, 2018

by Jim Norman

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

Majority of Americans have viewed Trump unfavorably throughout his presidency

Just over a third (36%) view independent counsel Robert Mueller favorably

Trump is disliked more than predecessors were early in their presidencies

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- President Donald Trump's favorable rating, already low by historical standards, has dropped to 38% -- while his unfavorable rating is at 59%.

This marks a dip in his favorable rating from 41% in December last year. It comes as Trump has escalated his attacks on special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation of possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia to influence the 2016 election. In contrast to Trump's overall image, Mueller's image is net positive -- 36% favorable and 28% unfavorable.

More than a third (36%) of the public has no opinion about Mueller, split between those who know of him but have no opinion (15%) and those who have not heard of him (21%).

Among those who have an opinion on both men, 45% view Mueller favorably and Trump unfavorably. Twenty-six percent have a favorable view of Trump and an unfavorable one of Mueller, and 29% like both (12%) or dislike both (17%).

meaning except to fill up space.

And everyone knows Trump and everything about him, not so much the prosecutor...who do not generally seek publicity and do national political campaigns, or any campaigns at all.

Fake poll question.

Polls like these are very demoralizing for his oh-so fragile presidential ego.

I wouldn't be surprised if he resigns out of spite after the elections this November - not that I wish it, oh no.

That would only leave us with Dense Pence, who in my book would be far worse.

That means 36% either haven't formed an opinion or don't know who he is. That's okay - we can improve on that.
