Donald Trump Still Mad About The Election (And Low Approval Numbers)

President-elect may never be able to live down that he lost the popular vote. A fact that continues to bruise his thin-orange-skinned ego.

The President-elect took another swipe at Democrats this morning with the promise that he’s just going to get more and more popular.

THAT would be good news for the Trumpster considering he currently has the worst approval/disapproval rating of any incoming president in modern history.

Earlier this week, Quinnipiac released the results of a new poll showing 51 percent of those surveyed said that they disapprove of the job Trump is doing as president-elect versus 37 percent who said they approve.

The same poll indicates 55 percent of Americans give President Barack Obama a big thumbs up compared to 39 percent who disapprove of the outgoing president.

In the meantime, we’ll be getting a LOT more of this I imagine:

Poll Drops and President Obama’s Approval Rating

From Media Matters:

According to the cumulative ratings posted daily at Real Clear Politics, which averages together an array of national polls to come up with Obama’s composite job approval rating, the president’s approval on January 1, 2014 stood at 42.6 percent. The president’s approval rating on October 30, was 42 percent.

So over the course of ten months, and based on more than one hundred poll results in 2014, Obama’s approval rating declined less than one point.

One point.

I can safely say Obama is the only president in U.S. history whose approval rating dropped a single digit over a ten-month stretch and it was described as having “plummeted.”
