New polling shows Trump’s approval ratings declining — and a number of major
warning signs appearing.

Analysis by Aaron Blake
President Donald Trump came into office claiming a sweeping and historic mandate, but that was always oversold. [there was no 'mandate' at all — smallest
popular vote margin since 1968]
Trump’s win was relatively modest, historically speaking. And while his approval
rating upon taking office reached a new all-time high for him — around 50 percent — his “honeymoon” phase still paled in comparison with every modern
president not named Trump.
And now, after one month in office, whatever honeymoon (and mandate) Trump enjoyed appears to be slipping away.
Multiple polls this week have shown his approval rating dropping into more normal territory for him, in the mid-40s. And a new Washington Post-Ipsos poll crystallizes a number of warning signs for Trump’s agenda of drastic and legally
dubious change.
Indeed, Americans seem to be quite concerned by how far Trump is going, and most
of his signature policies and initiatives appear to be quite unpopular — especially those spearheaded by billionaire Elon Musk.
Trump’s approval ratings this week in polls — including the Post-Ipsos poll and
others from Reuters, Quinnipiac University, CNN and Gallup — have ranged from 44
percent to 47 percent. In all of them, more disapprove than approve of him.
That’s a reversal from the vast majority of previous polls, which showed Trump
in net-positive territory.
And in the Post-Ipsos poll, significantly more Americans strongly disapprove of Trump (39 percent) than strongly approve of him (27 percent).

*Twenty-seven* percent strong approval — even a lot of Republiscums/QAnon know
that he's fucking up.
