Trump approval down 10% in Gallup poll
The latest Gallup poll (the longest running series in the world) has Trump’s approval down 10% from 49% in April to 39% in May. His approval rating for the economy has also dropped from 63% in early 2020 to 47%.
Even if people think a particular poll is biased, this doesn’t matter in terms of the trend. A 10% drop is a 10% drop.
So how does Trump’s approval on Day 1231 of his presidency compare to other Presidents in Gallup polling.
- Eisenhower 71%
- Nixon 62%
- Reagan 55%
- Clinton 53%
- Bush 43 49%
- Obama 47%
- Johnson 46%
- Truman 40%
- Trump 39%
- Carter 38%
- Bush 41 37%
Those in bold were re-elected. Carter and Bush 41 were defeated and Johnson pulled out.
The only President who won while polling at Trump levels was Truman who was at 40%
