A new poll shows that about 4 in 10 Americans say Trump has been a “terrible” leader in his second term.

The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research also found that about 2 in 10 think he has done an average job in his presidency and 3 in 10 says he’s been a great or good president.

44% say Trump’s focused on the wrong priorities in the AP-NORC poll, 21% said an even mix and 10% don’t know

    It’s a bullshit poll. 10% selected “I don’t know.”

    The AP-NORC poll surveyed 1,260 adults from April 17- April 21, using a probability-based method from AmeriSpeak. The margin of sampling error for the poll is plus or minus 3.9 percentage points.

    He’s underwater at 54.6% unfavorable on YouGov as of five days ago.

        They’re the lowest in presidential history 70 years. Don’t forget, they’re not exclusively asking informed people.

          No they’re not lol. The lowest in the first 100 days maybe. Don’t just believe headlines.

          Have a look at Truman’s approval numbers towards the end of his term.

          George W. Bush had the highest disapproval with 71% on 10/10/2028.

          Harry Truman had the lowest approval, hitting 22% in 1951 and again in 1952. From secondary source Wikipedia (it’s the internet; how hard do you want me to work?).

      The 52% AP-NORC result has a margin of error of 3.9%. That puts the 54.6% YouGov poll squarely within it. Pew Research was April 7-14 and doesn’t have a margin on its first page, so I didn’t look further.

      Not sure why you don’t think the YouGov poll is also bullshit since it is lower than Pew.
