President Trump's Disapproval Rating Has Hit an All-Time High (ABC news/Washington Post Poll)

President Trump’s disapproval rating has hit an all-time high.

According to a new ABC News/Washington Post poll released Friday, 60% of those surveyed disapprove of Trump’s performance in office—the highest of his presidency. Just 36% approve, which is on par with his all-time low.

The last ABC News/Washington Post poll, conducted in April, put his approval rating at 40% and disapproval rating at 56%. ABC reports that Trump’s average approval rating is the lowest of any president since the 1940s.

The poor showing in this most recent poll, however, may not come as a total surprise. It was conducted Aug. 26 to 29—just a week after Trump’s former campaign chairman Paul Manafort was convicted of tax fraud and former lawyer Michael Cohen admitted that he violated campaign finance laws at Trump’s behest.

Fighting with the dead, unless it's a Stalin, is not cool by most people.

These dreadful numbers are actually getting a boost from the kick-ass economy Trump inherited.

If it was any other president, we'd chalk up a sub-50% approval rating (under these economic conditions) to an image problem. That tells you how low the bar has been set for this wretched human being.
