    Default Worst first term approval rating in history

    Trump finishes with worst first term approval rating ever

    --- Trump's approval rating looks to be the lowest on record dating back since scientific polling began ---

    (CNN) A new Quinnipiac University poll finds that President Donald Trump's approval rating stands at 33%, while his disapproval is at 60%.

    An average of recent polls finds Trump with a 38% approval rating and 59% disapproval rating.

    With still a few days left in his presidency, Trump looks like his approval rating will end up below 40% -- a decline of more than 5 points since the election.

    It means Trump will be the first president in the polling era to end his first term with an approval of below 40%.

    I still have stitches in my side from laughing so hard about it.

    Now that historians and professional scholars will be able to rank Trump in the pantheon of Presidents, I have zero doubt the historical consensus will be that Trump will be ranked at rock bottom of the list - worst president ever

    TBH, it may take a year or two before Trump's full legacy of lies, corruption and abuse of power can be fully understood.

    IMO, every piece of evidence will drop Trump down until he hits the bottom. I agree with your assessment, but it may take awhile.

    Not surprised in the least. He sure went out with a bang. 400K dead, capitol attacked by supporters, impeached twice. Never won the popular vote. Debt skyrocketed.

    I don't think Trump is even asked to speak at any future GOP conventions.

    America, finally, is waking up.

    Check my history out, but I believe Trump is the first president in Modern History to not ever achieve a 50% approval rating at any time during his term in office- perhaps the first in the entire American History!
