President-elect Donald Trump rose to power with historically low approval ratings, and a new poll finds that even those numbers have fallen as Americans lose what little goodwill they had toward him during the so-called post-election “honeymoon” period.
Quinnipiac University’s new survey, conducted January 5-9, reveals that voters nationwide disapprove 51-37 percent of “the way Donald Trump is handling his job as president-elect,” while giving seven-year-high approval ratings to outgoing President Barack Obama.
All the results, including those giving him favorable ratings, are lower than they were in the last Quinnipiac poll, conducted November 22, the organization said.
