New polling released by CNN on Sunday shows that Trump's approval rating stands at 41 percent. That is 18 points under his disapproval rating, which stands at 59 percent—including 45 percent who disapprove strongly.
Comparatively, former Democratic President Joe Biden's approval hovered at 53 percent at the same point in 2021, according to CNN. That puts Biden's approval at the 100-day mark 12 points ahead of Trump's.
Former Presidents Barack Obama, a Democrat, and George W. Bush, a Republican, had even higher marks at the same point. Obama enjoyed a 63 percent approval rating and Bush was nearly the same, at 62 percent. That's 22 points and 21 points ahead of Trump respectively.
Notably, Trump's current approval rating is even lower than it was at the same point during his first term in office. At the end of April 2017, Trump's approval rating stood at 44 percent—3 points higher than it is now.
Okay, but don't forget these important things
ReplyDelete1) He was a lame duck president the minute he got elected. He couldn't care less if he's unpopular. He doesn't have to worry about re-election.
2) He doesn't care about the Republican party. Don't forget that he's a life long Democrat. There are old speeches of his easily found on line where he talks about wanting to be president and feeling that the Republican party would be the easier one to take over. Once he's done with the presidency, he won't care about the party one bit so if he needs to trash it, he'll lose no sleep over it.
