Poll: Trump reaches majority disapproval in eight days

A majority of Americans disapprove of President Trump's work during his first week in the White House - breaking a record of how long it generally takes the majority of Americans to disapprove of a president.

On Saturday, 51 percent of Americans disapproved of Trump, a Gallup poll found.

The poll tracks daily approval ratings for Trump by surveying 1,500 Americans.

It took just eight days to reach these ratings. It took at least several hundred days for the majority of Americans to disapprove of past presidents.

Thing is the Rasmussen poll, and the QP poll show most Americans support the EO “ban” so how in the hell can Gallup come along and say 51% disapprove of the job he’s doing, when basically that’s been the biggest story the last five days? The internals probably stink. Also notice they polled ‘Americans” wth is that? Adults? Voters?

Reminds you of the (not) Latin phrase:

Illegitimi non carborundum

"Don't let the bastards grind you down!"

After these clowns told us over and over again that Hillary had a 99% chance of winning and that Trump was going to lose. Oh and that Trump was going to drop out. This is after they told us Trump could never win the nomination nor was he serious.

Anyhow, they want us to believe their FAKE POLLS again.

No breakdown of the weighting. Useless poll.

The media is about to get gobsmacked again.

The weird thing is, they just keep coming back for more.

In Rassmussen daily polling Trump runs between 55 and 59%.
I can’t reconcile these two polling groups polling, but Rassmussen had been better on the elections this cycle.

Maybe Soros wrote Gallup a check.

True leaders do not stick their fingers in the air to test the winds of popular opinion. Nothing the media comes up with will slow down this juggernaut. They’ll have all they can do just to keep up. Trump is NOT a politician, he is a man of action.

Using fake opinions to manufacture real opinion did not work out for these libtardians during the election, just how well do they think they will work out now?

A poll that needs to be conducted is how much the general public trusts polls. Betcha about the same amount that trust the MSM. In reality, there is a fine line, if any, that separates polling outfits from the MSM. One manufactures news, the other reports it.

Try to find a detailed methodology for this tracking poll. Just try it.

Gallup did not do any polling of the presidential race.

If these polls are so far off in elections, where the results verify or falsify the polling, how much accuracy can you expect from a poll that cannot be tested?

Polling should be outlawed. Or maybe publishing polls.

Liars have made it a political tool, not science. But then it’s always been a murky science at best.

No - guess we can’t do that because of free speech.

Oh! I got it! When any poll is published, by law it must be accompanied by, “PAID POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT!” with the person behind it saying, “I am so-and-so - and I approved of this ad!”
