Polls Show Trump, the Least Popular President Ever, Is Seeing His Approval Rating Sink to an All-Time Low
President Donald Trump has never had a stellar approval rating, but things appear to be taking a turn for the worse for the former reality TV star.
The latest survey released by Gallup this week pegged his approval rating at just 34 percent. That's tied for the lowest such figure to date for the 45th president. Gallup also found that 60 percent of respondents disapproved of the job Trump has done, which is just a single percentage point off his all-time high of 61 percent.
Other polling firms have found similarly dismal figures for Trump. The*weighted average*from data-centric website FiveThirtyEight—a tracker that aggregates surveys and adjusts for*quality, recency, sample size and partisan lean—pegged his approval at just 37.2 percent Friday. That's just 0.6 percentage points higher than his all-time low in the tracker. Trump's disapproval, meanwhile, stood at 56.8 percent Friday, according to FiveThirtyEight.
No president in the history of modern polling had*an approval rating so poor at this point in his tenure, according to FiveThirtyEight's tracker, though*Gerald Ford was quite close. His approval rating was 37.4 percent on day 218 of his presidency,*just 0.2 percentage points better than Trump's on Friday. It's worth noting that Ford's popularity plummeted after he pardoned his predecessor, Richard Nixon, who resigned in disgrace following the Watergate scandal. It was a widely condemned move at the time, but perceptions have since shifted and it is now largely seen as a brave decision that helped the country heal.
