Donald Trump, the president with the lowest approval ratings in history, took a swipe at Hollywood by pointing out the Academy Awards’ low TV ratings with a tweet that read, “Lowest rated Oscars in HISTORY. Problem is, we don’t have Stars anymore – except your President.”

Monmouth University Poll: Donald Trump Approval Rating Hit’s All-Time Low 32%

Donald Trump’s approval rating has hit an all-time low in the latest Monmouth University Poll.

The Donald’s current job rating stands at a net negative 32% approve and 56% disapprove. This marks his lowest rating in Monmouth’s polling since taking office in January.

Trump’s biggest dips come from Independent women voters.

His lack of any notable legislative achievements plus his decision to move the U.S. embassy in Israel which many feel will destabilize the Middle East were contributing factors to his declining numbers.

Previous surveys conducted over the course of the past year indicated his approval rating ranging from 39% to 43% and his disapproval rating ranging from 46% to 53%.

So. Much. Winning.

NBC News reports that Donald Trump’s job approval rating has dropped to the lowest point of his presidency according to the latest NBC/Wall Street Journal poll.
