Poll: President Trump's approval rating hits a new low

Two months after the inauguration, Donald Trump's job approval rating has hit a new low, according to a new poll.

The Gallup poll found 37% of Americans approve of how the president is doing his job. Comparatively, 58% disapprove of how Trump is handling the presidency.

The numbers are based on responses from about 1,500 adults with an error margin of 3 points.

The poll, reported on Friday, came amid Trump standing by claims that he was wiretapped by then-president Barack Obama during the election and as his administration pushes Congress to pass legislation to replace Obamacare.

Trump's approval rating has dipped below 40% twice before: 38% on Feb. 16 — the same week as Michael Flynn's resignation as Trump's national security adviser — and 39% on March 13.

Difficult and nigh impossible as it is to believe at this point, Trump still has his defenders, at least one of whom is still among my Facebook friends. I posted the following on his latest little defense of Trump and attack blaming the Democrats as sore losers and portraying them as the only ones with a problem with the situation.

WHAT KIND OF UTTER NONSENSE IS THIS? I credited you with more common sense! I am not a Democrat, nor a shill for the Democratic Party, and what's more I am more than a little peeved at them for enabling this tragic disaster to befall our nation through their own choices, and I agree this situation could spell the end of both parties.

That does not change the fact that DONALD TRUMP IS AN ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE, OBJECTIONABLE, DISGUSTING "HUMAN BEING" on every possible level and in every respect which makes the least difference. Most of his family are vile and loathsome and some are criminal. None of them have one single positive trait to possibly justify him, or any of them, being within a million miles of any position of power or responsibility, and about 99 zillion which would disqualify them, including habitual lying, cheating, stealing, and willful and deliberate stupidity as well as the hatefulness of targeting people different from them and trying to make their lives unlivable in every respect if not outright killing them. There is NOT ONE THING to defend about these despicable "people" or anyone who would defend them and anyone who works for or associates with them will probably end up as accessories to murder. I seriously DO NOT CARE whether Paul Hogan or anyone including Jesus Christ says Trump is a good golfer or has a pleasant manner. People who met Hitler made similar observations, and trying to glorify him is now a crime in some countries for good reason!

Whoever won or lost does not change the fact that evil is evil, crime is crime, and a villain is a villain. If Ted Bundy won as president simply because people didn't like Richard Ramirez, would you call everyone who objected anti-Hispanic sore losers for refusing to kiss Bundy's ass and declare him a sane, normal, rational human being? What if Bundy won against Jeffrey Dahmer? Would you say, "Get over it, at least Bundy only killed people instead of eating them, which makes him a perfectly wonderful president?" I SERIOUSLY DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH SOME PEOPLE!!!!! Please acquaint yourself with some facts, not just alternative spins. I hold out hope for you.

I'm curious if you got a response from your Facebook "friend?" (Personally, I would never belong to any service that makes me use the term "friend" to describe total strangers that I've never met in person.)

My guess is if they can still defend Trump at this low point in his presidency, no logical argument as to what a reprehensible human being he is will sway the opinion of these apologists. There will always be a certain segment of any group that's clearly on the wrong side of history who will stick with their "side" until the bitter end. This is one of the inherent dangers that come with living in a Democracy: it allows the people with a screw loose in their heads to be allowed to have their opinion, no matter how objectionable it may be. Unfortunately for us--the American public--there seems to have been enough of them in the voting electorate this past year to sway the electoral college in their favor.

And by the way, as of yesterday (3/30), Trump's approval rating now stands at 33%.

Yes, he said it's just the way it's going, for me to simmer down, and that Bundy did eat people anyhow. I said he was wrong to intimate that only Democrats were upset, and only because they lost--a lot else is at stake than who won or lost. A terrible person is in office no matter how it happened. I just so happen to know someone who met Hitler, and this made me dream I was asking her for a picture of them together, which I wanted in case I ever meet Trump.

It will get worse! Hopefully he'll be gone ASAP. He is a disgrace!
