President Trump's first-year average job approval rating was at least 10 percentage points lower than that of any of his predecessors, according to Gallup.

Trump's job approval rating during his first year in office averaged 38.4 percent, Gallup reported. By comparison, President Obama's first-year average approval rating was 57.2 percent.

The only other president to average below 50 percent in his first-year job approval rating was President Clinton, whose average was 49.3 percent, Gallup reported. Six out of the 10 men who have been elected president since World War II have had a job approval rating averaging at 60 percent or higher during their first year in office.

Trump's average job approval rating during his first year also falls within the top 10 worst average job approval ratings for any president since Gallup started regularly recording the measurement in 1945.

83.7% of all statistics are made up on the fly as a persuasion technique.

Considering how 95% of all media and Hollywood attacks Trump constantly on television, even when doing weather reports, I think that’s pretty awesome!

Considering the attacks from the Commie billionaires using Twitter, Facebook, Amazon, and Google against any Christian or Conservative, I think that’s pretty awesome!

What else ya got HILL?

It’s Gallup which grossly over samples dems and it’s an AVERAGE which means their fake 34% approval rating polls from a few months ago are factored into the new higher approval ratings.

Some here are such concern trolls with these polls (not you) but OP seems to be a poll watcher for some reason.

That's true 61.8% of the time.

Polls are not to measure public opinion, they are designed to shape public opinion.

The left has made supporting Trump a crime. People are much less likely to take a public stance supporting Trump because they want to avoid the blowback. This makes polling very inaccurate. It also led to an overestimate of Obama’s support, as people are afraid of being labeled a racist if they don't support him.

Ronald Reagan’s job approval rating in February 1982 was 35%.

Two years later, he won 49 states.

Trump’s media coverage has been mostly negative, when positive things have happened. The media must be run by the Democrat Party. CNN OR NBC never says a good thing about Trump. They want people to hate a President and the people who elected him.

One question. What was Gallup’s forecast for the election ?

Gallup gave up polling Presidential elections after messing up the Obama-Romney results in 2012.

What is funny is if polls were accurate he wouldn’t even be our President; so they can get off their high horse about how much meaning their polls have.
