TFG (aka The Felony Guy) is obsessed with approval ratings

President Trump, early in his second term, is earning an approval rating among the lowest in decades, a survey found.

A poll, released Thursday by Gallup, found that 47 percent of respondents support Trump’s term so far, just above the 45 percent he earned at this point during his first term.

It’s a rating that places him below all other elected presidents since 1953. He remains the only elected commander in chief with an approval rating below 50 percent, the survey found......

“However, initial evaluations of Trump differ in that Americans are much more likely to disapprove of his performance rather than have no opinion as was the case for the elder Bush and Reagan,” the survey said.

Gallup noted that the 47 percent Trump scored is better than the average rating during his first term, when he earned a 41 percent approval from Americans. He was the only president to not receive a job rating of 50 percent or higher during his time in office.
