Evil *****.
President Trump’s approval rating after six months in office is the lowest of any president in the past 70 years, according to a new poll.
Just 36 percent of likely voters in the ABC News/Washington Post poll released early Sunday approve of the job Trump is doing while 58 percent disagree.
Trump’s approval rating has fallen 6 points since a similar survey 100 days into his presidency, pollsters noted, which was also a low.
The latest results follow news that Donald Trump Jr. met with a Russian lawyer offering damaging information about Hillary Clinton.
Almost two-thirds of Americans, 63 percent, said that meeting was inappropriate.
Sixty percent also said Russia tried to influence the campaign.
Voters also questioned the president’s effectiveness, the results show.
Just 38 percent said he’s making significant progress on his agenda, while 55 percent said he is not.
Trump’s competence on the world stage is also a concern, according to the poll.
Two-thirds of likely voters don’t trust him to negotiate with world leaders on America’s behalf and about half, 48 percent, say the U.S.'s world leadership has become weaker under Trump.
Trump greeted warmly at US Women's Open
So much God damned winning, it hurts.
President Trump’s approval rating after six months in office is the lowest of any president in the past 70 years, according to a new poll.
President Trump will spend Saturday at the US Women's Open at his golf course in New Jersey, his third straight day at the tournament and his 40th day at one of his golf properties as president.

You make a valid point. Credit where credit is due.You'd rather he was back in the Oval Office getting rid of more regulations? Remember, most of us were happy when Bammy was golfing because then he wasn't ******* things up in Washington.
YOUNGSTOWN, OHIO (The Borowitz Report)—Donald J. Trump lashed out at a new target on Monday, blaming his bad poll numbers on the existence of the numerical system.
In sometimes rambling remarks at an outdoor rally in Ohio, the Republican Presidential nominee called the numerical system “rigged” and unleashed a torrent of abuse on numbers themselves, calling them “disgusting” and “the lowest form of life.”
“It’s why I won’t release my taxes,” he said. “They’re full of goddam numbers.”
While Republican candidates in the past have attempted to exploit their supporters’ distrust of math, Trump is believed to be the first nominee to call into question the numerical system itself.
Behind the scenes, G.O.P. insiders fretted that, in attacking the very existence of numbers, Trump was veering wildly off message.
“He should be talking about Hillary Clinton, and instead he’s going off on integers,” one insider said.
Officially, aides remained upbeat about the campaign and denied reports that Trump was spending an increasingly large portion of each day angrily muttering to himself and chewing on paper.
Donald Trump has insisted his performance in a poll assessing his six-month approval rating is "not bad" – despite recording the lowest rating of any president since it started being conducted in the 1940s.
Just 36 per cent of Americans endorsed his job performance, down from another record low of 42 per cent at the 100-day mark, in a joint survey by The Washington Post and ABC News. Fifty-eight per cent disapproved of his first six months, most of them "strongly".
The previous worst approval rating after half a year in the White House was 39 per cent, given to Gerald Ford in 1975.
Mr Trump's deterioration in support comes amid questions over his election campaign's links to Russia, doubts over his ability to negotiate on a world stage, and unpopular policies at home.
The survey, carried out for each US president since Harry S Truman, found only a third of Americans trusted Mr Trump to negotiate on the world stage. Forty-seven per cent said they had no trust in him, despite the billionaire businessman's boasts about his deal-making. Even fewer trusted the President in talks with Vladimir Putin specifically.
More POLLS ???????
I can't believe you still look at polls. The election polls were shoved so far up the Dems ***** I can't believe you are still this stupid.
Libtards like polls because only libtards are polled. It makes them feel a little better.

Donald Trump has worst six-month approval rating of any president in history, poll finds
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/w...st-abc-news-a7843821.html?cmpid=facebook-post
Tibs, are you implying that if the election was held today Trump wouldn't win vs. Hillary? Is that what these polls are telling you? Because I bet he would still win. So what's the point? Who cares except what policies are being enacted. You have not talked ONCE about policy in probably a month. Not ONCE!
If you are so unhappy with this President, what policy are you so worried about? What policy or law or XO or memorandum do you really think is the "beginning of the end"? Because I don't see it.

Stressed and agitated about all the "fake news" about Russia and his son's legal predicament, not to mention the ongoing train-wreck of his legislative agenda, Donald Trump decided to spend the weekend watching and tweeting about the US Women's Open tournament at his New Jersey golf club. It had to make him feel a little better, since the profits from these golf properties go into his own pocket.
According to this report from McClatchy's Anita Kumar, Trump is unique in that respect even as a business owner, much less a president of the United States -- who would normally be assumed to be too busy to make personal appearances for publicity at his profit-making businesses virtually every week.
Trump's Twitter feed indicated he was having a nice time, at least until The Washington Post unveiled its new poll numbers:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">The ABC/Washington Post Poll, even though almost 40% is not bad at this time, was just about the most inaccurate poll around election time!</p>— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) <a href="https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/886588838902206464">July 16, 2017</a></blockquote>
<script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
That was a nice try, but the poll showed that Trump is actually at a 36 percent approval rating, which is the lowest rating of any president at this point in his presidency since Harry Truman. He is down six points from his 100-day mark; his disapproval rating is at 58 percent, with 48 percent "strongly disapproving" -- levels never reached by Bill Clinton or Barack Obama and only reached in George W. Bush's second term. He can tweet that it's not bad all he wants, but it's bad.
And it has to be mentioned that for all the right's yammering about the election polls being wrong, they actually weren't. The national average on the day before the election showed Hillary Clinton winning by a 3.5 percent margin, and she won the national popular vote by about 2 percent -- easily within the margin of error. People were shocked on election night because they just couldn't believe that he'd pulled off a weird inside straight in the electoral college, not because the polls had been rigged against him, which seems to be an article of faith among his faithful followers.

They sampled voters in counties that either flipped from Obama in 2012 to Trump in 2016 or where Trump did much better than Mitt Romney, and found that Trump's support is slipping.
In those counties where Trump did much better than Romney, he beat Hillary Clinton by a combined 65 to 29 percent. Today he's down to 56 percent approval. In the counties that flipped to Trump from Obama, the president's approval rating is just 44 percent. He won those overall with 51 percent last November.
All of these numbers are dismal for the president. The big question is the reasoning behind it. Gallup has some answers. It's not so much that people disagree on issues, which isn't all that surprising since Trump is all over the map on those. Sixty-five percent of people who disapprove of his performance in office say it's because of his character, personality and competency, specifically criticizing his bad temperament, arrogance, obnoxiousness, lack of experience, selfishness, racism and sexism, lack of knowledge, wishy-washiness and use of social media.
Certainly one can assume that Democrats, at least, are hostile to Trump's stands on issues as well, but because of his bad character and incompetence they don't feel that anything he says on the issues one way or the other is trustworthy. That's his problem: Donald Trump is demonstrating his unfitness for the job, right out there for everyone to see, every single day.
Yes, I do realize that.You do realize Tibs that all 100% of everyone that lives in California could hate Trump all they want and it still wouldn't change the ******* election, right?
