Trump Demolishes Gallup Poll Record

The majority of Americans disapprove of President Donald Trump and the work he did during his first week in the White House, according to a Gallup poll tracking presidents’ approval ratings.

As of Saturday, the Gallup daily tracking poll showed that Trump had a disapproval rating of 51 percent, while his approval rating was at 42 percent. His average approval rating over his first week in office was 45 percent while the average disapproval rating was 48 percent.

That means Trump reached a majority disapproval in what is likely record time — just eight days. For reference, it wasn’t until August 2011 that Barack Obama reached a majority disapproval in the daily survey, while George W. Bush didn’t reach a majority disapproval until his second term in June 2005, according to Gallup’s data.
