American voters approve 55 – 39 percent of the job President Barack Obama is doing, his best approval rating in seven years, according to a Quinnipiac University national poll released today. These same voters disapprove 51 – 37 percent of the way Donald Trump is handling his job as president-elect.
Some highlights:
Trump’s 37% approval as PEOTUS is lower than Obama’s all-time low with @QuinnipiacPoll, 38%. pic.twitter.com/TUCL9HMF9c— Will Jordan (@williamjordann) January 10, 2017
Even his biggest fans:
Trump also is not cracking 50% with non-college whites in this poll.— Will Jordan (@williamjordann) January 10, 2017
Nobody really cares about this one, but it’s mildly interesting:
Wowza that gender gap:Net approval with men: 0
Net approval with women: -28 https://t.co/4CVErXma3z— Will Jordan (@williamjordann) January 10, 2017
A lot of human beings love to hate, so this works out great. All successful demagogues understand this:
Trump is very, very good at amplifying the negatives of his opponents.He has never demonstrated an ability to get people to like him. https://t.co/YqvrEptSbG
