Less than half of Americans approve of President Donald Trump's performance in office so far, according to a new NBC/Wall Street Journal poll published Sunday.

A total of 44 percent approve of Trump's performance as president, according to the poll, with 48 percent saying they disapprove and 8 percent unsure.

In the poll, which was conducted Feb. 18-22, 32 percent said that the president's first month in office demonstrates he is not up to the job.

[Tobor]

44% of Americans are too stupid to live.

 

[Sgt. Kabukiman]

Way too high.

 

[Matsukaze]

Still too high.

 

[Black Republican]

holy shit, thats it???


fuck me

im also afraid to see the white approval ratings are

 

[BronsonLee]

Yeah we're one-terming it at this point if people don't get complacent

 

[Arrogant Bastard]

Eight percent unsure, could you fucks please stop voting.

 

[Raguel]

44% of Americans are too stupid to live.

44% of Americans are racist vile pieces of shit.

 

[Ithil]

 

[gcubed]

8% unsure are the rich white folks who really want tax cuts and waiting for them to wash away their tacit approval of racism

 

[RPGCrazied]

The last few polls I've seen it was like 38%. I think this one is wrong.

 

[120v]

the economy is humming along... until that stops he probably won't stay below 40%

 

[Phoenix RISING]

I mean, has he actually done anything yet?

Obama was slow to react to the Dakota access pipeline so it seems that when Trump allowed it to push forward everyone stop caring immediately.

The Muslim ban was stopped by a federal courts.

So far this Administration is just a cabinet circus.

Yawn.

 

[Korigama]

I would wager that that same 44% who approve also like to eat paint chips.

 

[hairygreenpeas]

Will echo the previous posters and say that, yes, 44% is indeed still too high. Was expecting something in the 30s lol. Oh, America...!

 

[Boke1879]

While I do think this is too damn high. Isn't this the lowest it's been for a President at this point in office? But at this point we just gotta keep protesting, and going out the these town halls and putting them to the fire.

Also getting out to vote.

Not only did Dems hold the Senate in Delaware today, turnout was roughly double a normal special election. Trump has made nothing normal.

This was a blowout. I think in 2014 we only won by two points. This time we won by damn near 20.

This is part 1. If Ossoff wins in GA-06, then D recruitment will go stratospheric and Rs can start worrying re: House.

We gotta win GA-06.

 

[LilWayneSuckz]

Too fucking high....needs to be in the 20s

 

[Boke1879]

Too fucking high....needs to be in the 20s

It'll never go that low unless the economy tanks. People are too polarized and entrenched right now.

 

[Nipo]

the economy is humming along... until that stops he probably won't stay below 40%

Yup. Stock market is going up, unemployment is still low, and housing market is humming along. Until 2 of those 3 things change his approval rating won't drop too low.

 

[Saya]

Seems high?

 

[Boke1879]

Seems high?

It's never going to dip too low since the electorate is polarized. We know he's done some fucked up shit, but you have republicans who love the shit he's doing.

Also like many said. The economy, jobs etc are humming a long so far. We're just over a month in. Unless one of those things tank you'll never see it in the 20's

 

[WedgeX]

The last few polls I've seen it was like 38%. I think this one is wrong.

Its as low as 41% and as high as 47%. The 38% poll, likely from Quinnipiac, ranged from 35% to 41%. Its not one being more right than the other, its just Central Limit Theorum playing out.

 

[nabe_shogun]

Yup. Stock market is going up, unemployment is still low, and housing market is humming along. Until 2 of those 3 things change his approval rating won't drop too low.

This. I hear it from normal people all the time. They don't care or even pay attention to anything Trump does, but as long as the economy is looking good and things in they're life are good, they'll say he's doing something right.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

the economy is humming along... until that stops he probably won't stay below 40%

Well he is poised to destroy our economic relationships with at least seven or eight industrialized nations via Twitter, including 2 members of the G8. So yeah.

 

[Lightning_Roller]

44% of Americans are too stupid to live.

First post and yada yada....

Seriously, fuck those 44%.

 

[adj_noun]

In the poll, which was conducted Feb. 18-22, 32 percent said that the president's first month in office demonstrates he is not up to the job.

Only 32%, huh.

I mean, what does it take?

 

[N.Domixis]

I'll never trust polls again. Remember before the elections? A lot of trump supporters are probably old people living in the middle of no where with no access to internet.

 

[Kusagari]

The 32% number is more disconcerting to me. What the hell is wrong with the 12% that disapprove but think he is up to the job.

 

[StrikeNinja24]

Let's be honest though:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/dnc-pac-contributions-ban_us_58b1ac9ee4b0a8a9b782bb00

Democrats are trying their best to lose the upcoming elections.

Democratic National Committee members on Saturday voted down a resolution that would have reinstated former President Barack Obama’s ban on corporate political action committee donations to the party.

Resolution 33, introduced by DNC Vice Chair Christine Pelosi, would also have forbidden “registered, federal corporate lobbyists” from serving as “DNC chair-appointed, at-large members.”

A majority of the 442 eligible DNC members rejected the resolution after roughly a dozen members rose to speak for and against it. Supporters of DNC chair candidate Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) could be heard cheering loudly during arguments in favor of the resolution from their seats in the section of the auditorium open to the public.

 

[Trickster]

Obama was slow to react to the Dakota access pipeline so it seems that when Trump allowed it to push forward everyone stop caring immediately.

Yawn.

Uhm, what?

Everything he's said or done since taking office counts towards what's he's done so far.

He's constantly lying

He's trying to erode trust in the free press

He's advocated for torture

He's shown himself to be completely ignorant on many issues

He's trying to ban people from muslim countries

He's put Bannon on the NSC

He's choosen probably the worst cabinet in US history

I mean I could go on and on

 

[BoboBrazil]

Fake news! New polling from Breitbart shows 97% of voters love the job I'm doing and the other 3% are illegals paid by SOROS to vote! SAD!

 

[Fuchsdh]

Eight percent unsure, could you fucks please stop voting.

Yeah, honestly, that's what gets me more. How insulated or ignorant do you have to be to not have an opinion about this?

 

[Faiz]

44% of Americans are too stupid to live.

52%. Will not credit those who are unsure after this shit show.

 

[Ushojax]

That's the 44% who would only turn on him if he literally ate a baby.

 

[Brinbe]

Lot of idiots out there, that's for goddamn sure...

 

[ArkhamFantasy]

I'll never trust polls again. Remember before the elections? A lot of trump supporters are probably old people living in the middle of no where with no access to internet.

The polls showed hillary getting 2-3 million more votes, which she did.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

I'll never trust polls again. Remember before the elections? A lot of trump supporters are probably old people living in the middle of no where with no access to internet.

The election polls were accurate within the margin of error.

Between the 2016 general election and Brexit, it's becoming increasingly obvious more people need to learn what a margin of error is.

 

[RM8]

That's the 44% who would only turn on him if he literally ate a baby.

That baby was no angel, I'll tell you that.

 

[Za-Neen-Jya]

44%? Man fuck the boomers, they are the biggest chunk of the Trump Supporters.

 

[ezekial45]

The people supporting Trump and are happy with how things are going live in a fantasy land, which is being enabled by the administration's actions and talking points.

Reality will eventually catch up to these people when the administration will take away their healthcare and their jobs. Though I still expect many to support Trump even if he and the GOP take everything away from them. Some people prefer to live out their fantasy over facing the harsh truths.

 

[A Serious Man]

Nixon's approval rating didn't dip below 40% until well into the Watergate scandal. Trump even flirting with those sort of numbers is cause for concern among Republicans.

 

[Delusibeta]

Yeah we're one-terming it at this point if people don't get complacent

I suspect the left will burn themselves out long before the midterms, never mind 2020.

 

[TyrantII]

Needs to get to 35% to be at the level where you can just about find anyone to get there. 30/35% respond that the sun revolves around the earth for example.

 

[Marvie_3]

At least 45% higher than it should be

 

[Intheflorsh]

Yes it's too high, but at least it's still historically the lowest rating for a new president I think.

 

[TheOMan]

52%. Will not credit those who are unsure after this shit show.

Accurate.

 

[Knuckle Sandwich]

Still too high but historically low in this and other other polls.

Despite all the silly ARGH THE ESTABLISHMENT shit going around I think we'll be able to get our shit together keep him from a second term. Hopefully anyway.

 

[Dingens]

is that 44% of all people who voted or of all americans?
If it's the latter, wouldn't that mean that there are more people who approve of his shit than actually voted for him...?

 

[Afrodium]

44% approval for a president who hasn't even been in office for two months is not good, everyone

 

[Fuchsdh]

Needs to get to 35% to be at the level where you can just about find anyone to get there. 30/35% respond that the sun revolves around the earth for example.

Yeah 30% is the baseline for finding someone with a stupid opinion about any given thing.

G.W. Bush's ratings didn't solidly hit 30% until 2008. To be fair though, he went from 5-60% to 90% through September 11th and just shed support on a long slow slide from there. http://www.gallup.com/poll/116500/presidential-approval-ratings-george-bush.aspx
