Poll: Trump's approval rating makes him least popular first-year president
on record
President Trump's low approval rating has made him the least popular
first-year president on record, according to an Associated Press-NORC poll
released Saturday.
The survey shows the president's approval rating sitting at 32 percent,
while 67 percent disapprove. Trump's approval rating has remained steady
in the poll from September, but is down 10 points from March.
Another AP-NORC poll conducted this month found strongly pessimistic
attitudes among Americans toward the president in his first year in
office.
Only three in 10 Americans polled said the U.S. is headed in the right
direction, while 52 percent said the country is worse off since Trump
entered office in January.
Forty-five percent of Americans polled said they did not believe that
Trump has kept his campaign promises, compared to 23 percent who said he
has.
The poll comes as Trump wraps up his first year as president, and is
poised to deliver a major campaign promise in the form of overhauling the
U.S. tax code.
However, enacting a tax-cut bill would mark Trump's first legislative
victory with a Republican-controlled Congress, 11 months into his
presidency.
The president and congressional Republicans failed twice this year to
deliver on their seven-year campaign promise to repeal and replace
ObamaCare.
Despite lacking a large number of legislative victories, Trump has touted
his administration's productivity during his first year in office.
The AP-NORC polls were conducted Nov. 30 through Dec. 4 among 1,444 adults
and Dec. 7-11 among 1,020 adults. The first survey had a margin of error
of plus or minus 3.7 percentage points, while the second survey's margin
of error was plus or minus 4.3 percentage points.
