Trump disapproval hits 64 percent in AP poll (http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/338092-trump-disapproval-hits-64-percent-in-ap-poll)


Nearly two-thirds of Americans disapprove of the job President Trump is doing in the White House, according to an Associated Press/NORC poll released Thursday.

Sixty-four percent of respondents in the survey (https://apnews.com/024824c4f6ce4eddae98f4156e36553e/Poll-shows-most-doubt-Trump's-respect-for-institutions) said that they don't like how the president is handling his office, while just over a third, 35 percent, approve of Trump.

The poll also found that 65 percent of Americans believe Trump has little or no respect for the country's democratic institutions and traditions. Only about 34 percent said they believe he has a great deal or even a fair amount of respect for such institutions.

While that sentiment appeared most common among Democrats and independents — 9 in 10 and 6 in 10, respectively — a third of Republican voters said Trump had little or no respect for democratic institutions in America.

While the president entered the White House with relative unpopularity, the AP noted, his dwindling approval numbers and perceived disrespect for the country's institutions show mounting challenges for Trump as he seeks to cast himself as a unifying figure.



Trump's approval has hit record lows in other polls as well, including Gallup. As the GOP tries to pass a healthcare bill that only 17% of Americans want, you gotta as yourself who these representatives are actually representing. Those who currently support Trump will be on the wrong side of history.

"But he's making America great again!"

I think these right wing...let's just call them what they are...BULLIES are really trying to drive home the idea that the majority doesn't matter, only the rich and powerful do. Do you know that the Koch Brothers are trying to rally states now to change the constitution so that it is more clearly defined to their ideal of "limited federal powers?" (In other words, less restrictions and regulations on corporations so they can rape the people without any government power to stop them)

Well, as far as results go, all you're going to get is controversy after controversy. And that's not the PROGRESSIVES' fault. It's not THE MEDIA'S fault. That is TRUMP'S fault. But don't worry, he will be the first to blame everybody else for his problems...just like he has been doing so far.

No. Because she's not a criminal. It's simple. She isn't a criminal, she has never been charged, and even her actions that were under investigation were petty. Trump on the other hand is under investigation for WAAAAAAY more serious offenses. Not to mention, he has screwed so many people in his businesses. Trump University ring a bell? That was complete FRAUD. So, don't go there. Please. It's useless.

I would imagine his disapproval rating would be higher than 64% if those who claim to still approve didn't look at it more as a referendum on their own personal actions rather than his.

They fear that if they express their displeasure with how he has been handling things then it will be a reflection on their judgement for placing him in office. I'm sorry to say that they've already been judged. Sometimes it's best to cut your losses and start again.

"birthright citizenship" is not part of the Constitution.
The Citizenship Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment states: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside." This is commonly referred to as birthright citizenship.

Trump's first major action as President was the Muslim ban, which was doomed to fail. It was so obviously unconstitutional that I wonder if his administration wanted it to fail. He's been very unsuccessful, and can't even cooperate with his fellow Republicans in congress.

I have no doubt that Trump's unpopularity is largely based on his horrible performance.

It wasn't unconstitutional. The courts looked at campaign speeches and tweets, rather than the executive order. The ACLU lawyer said in court that had Hillary issued that EO it would be constitutional.

After his first immigration ban faced obstacles in federal courts, President Trump has signed a new executive order (https://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2017-03-06/trump-revises-travel-ban-to-address-legal-issues-exempt-iraqis) that bans citizens from six Muslim-majority countries in the Middle East from entering the U.S. for 90 days. The new order excludes Iraq, which fell under the first ban (https://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2017-01-27/trump-enacts-new-vetting-for-foreigners-entering-the-u-s), and makes other changes to specify who can and can't enter the U.S. But one thing hasn't changed: His proposed list doesn’t include Muslim-majority countries where his Trump Organization has done business or pursued potential deals. Properties include golf courses in the United Arab Emirates and two luxury towers operating in Turkey.
