Donald Trump’s job approval rating fell to a dismal 36% in the most recent Gallup poll (3/27), following the House GOP’s failed effort to repeal and replace Obamacare.
The man who promotes himself as a winner is actually the biggest modern-day presidential loser at this stage in his administration.
In another poll conducted by FiveThirtyEight (3-29), Trump’s job-approval rating is slightly better at 41%. Still, only 69 days into his presidency, Trump is by far the lowest rated of any of the past 13 presidents during the same period.
Here is FiveThirtyEight’s chart comparing Trump with recent presidents on day 69 of their administrations:
PRESIDENT | DATE | APPROVE | DISAPPROVE | NET |
Trump | 3/29/17 | 41.3% | 52.4% | -11.1 |
Obama | 3/30/09 | 61.0 | 31.8 | 29.2 |
G.W. Bush | 3/30/01 | 54.8 | 29.5 | 25.3 |
Clinton | 3/30/93 | 55.4 | 29.6 | 25.8 |
G.H.W. Bush | 3/30/89 | 59.1 | 14.7 | 44.4 |
Reagan | 3/30/81 | 60.0 | 24.0 | 36.0 |
Carter | 3/30/77 | 72.8 | 9.8 | 62.9 |
Ford | 10/17/74 | 50.0 | 30.8 | 19.2 |
Nixon | 3/30/69 | 66.0 | 8.0 | 58.0 |
Johnson | 1/30/64 | 77.0 | 5.0 | 72.0 |
Kennedy | 3/30/61 | 73.0 | 7.0 | 66.0 |
Eisenhower | 3/30/53 | 67.0 | 8.0 | 59.0 |
Truman | 6/20/45 | 87.0 | 3.0 | 84.0 |
As you can see, Trump is the only president with a negative net rating (-11.1).
Trump supporters crowed their man would be unlike any other president. In a very real but ironic way, they were spot on.

He’s the Winner at being a Loser. Bravo. These numbers will only get worse. Wait till the Russia connections comes to light. Wait till unemployment numbers go up. Wait till his EPA results come to light. Wait till Buyer’s Remorse truly settles in.
John DeProspo says
I find it amazing 36% or 42% of Americans still support the deranged traitor.
Gail Miller says
Funny how many Trumpites say their man has done more in 60 days than Obama did in 8 years!
John DeProspo says
Yes, one of their best talking points.
Charles Sloane says
Its true. He has done more bad things in 60 days than Obama did in 8 years.
John DeProspo says
Ain’t it the truth!
