President Donald Trump wants to make a good impression on Americans. The entire Trump administration tries hard to gain the support of the Clinton voters. However, with every great leader,there is bound to be opposition.
In fact, on January 28, he defended his executive order on immigration and said it’s “working out very nicely”.
Then last week, Senior Adviser Kellyanne Conway defended her boss to Fox News’s Chris Wallace:
Despite Conway’s claim that Trump “understood America,” recent poll numbers tell a different story.
At the beginning of the month, a new Gallup poll revealed that only 43% of the 1,500 adults surveyed nationwide approve of President Donald Trump’s job performance.
Trump has remained steady at 43% since January 29, another poll identified startling information.
Of the 725 registered voters who were surveyed, Public Policy Polling (PPP) found that 51% thought Senator John McCain (R-AZ) had more credibility than the president.
Moreover, on January 30 and 31, registered voters were also asked if they would support impeaching Donald Trump. Despite an overall 47% approval rating from the poll, the results showed an alarming trend:
“Support impeaching Donald Trump: 40%, Oppose impeaching Donald Trump: 48%, Not sure: 12%.”
Former President Nixon only reached 26% impeachment support, according to Pew Research, which makes support for the impeachment of Donald Trump by 40% of voters surveyed even more staggering.
That is, if the numbers are accurate. While Public Policy Polling’s approval numbers mostly align with Gallup’s, its methodology could be called into question.
Yet, according to Gallup, President Donald Trump’s nine predecessors averaged an approval rating of about 62% during their first February in office— 19% higher than he is currently polling.
