President Donald Trump has begun his first term in the red, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday.
Forty-four percent of respondents to Quinnipiac’s poll disapproved of Trump’s handling of his job as President thus far, while 36 percent approved. Nineteen percent of respondents were undecided.
A press release accompanying the poll noted that 59 percent of respondents approved of former President Barack Obama’s performance in office in their first survey of his presidency, released Mar. 4, 2009. Twenty-five percent of respondents in that poll disapproved of the President’s performance.
Still, 53 percent of respondents were optimistic about the next four years with Trump as president, Quinnipiac reported, while 43 percent were pessimistic.
Quinnipiac surveyed 1,190 voters nationwide from Jan. 20-25, using live interviews on land lines and cell phones. The poll has a margin of error of 2.8 percentage points.
The future is nasty.
44 percent seems 144 percent too low…
Must be alternative percentages.
Thirty six percent? Who and where are these imbeciles? Is it mass hypnosis?emphasized text
Edit
Changed to reflect proper disapproval %
Trump: Thats more than the % of people who voted for me. I must be doing really good. Keep watching FOX and listen to Putin.
I suspect people are still hoping the irritable, adolescent Donald will transform into a responsible, calm adult
