Trump's historically poor start
Every American president has had his ups
and downs. But we've never seen this kind of down this early: A Gallup poll on Monday had
President Trump's job-approval rating at 36% (it was conducted mostly after the
failed health-care push). To put that standing into perspective, here's where
Gallup had these other early presidencies at about this same point in time:
Barack Obama: 63% (March 16-22, 2009)
George W. Bush: 53% (March 26-28, 2001)
Bill Clinton: 53% (March 12-14, 1993)
George H.W. Bush: 56% (March 12, 1989)
Ronald Reagan: 60% (March 15, 1981)
Jimmy Carter: 75% (March 20, 1977)
