Poll: 36% approve of Trump's job performance

(CNN)President Donald Trump enters office facing low job approval ratings and skepticism from voters, according to a new Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday.

The survey found that 36% of American voters approve of Trump's handling of his job after his first week, while 44% say they disapprove. By comparison, former President Barack Obama received a 59%-25% approval rating in the first Quinnipiac poll taken after his inauguration in 2009.

Asked how they expected Trump's presidency to turn out, 43% say they think Trump will be a "good" or "great" president, while 52% said they expect Trump will be "not so good" or "bad" -- with 36% expecting the worst.

Still, 53% of Americans said they are optimistic about Trump's presidency, and more say that Trump will help the economy than hurt it.
The Quinnipiac poll also found that American voters are critical of Trump's personal qualities. Large majorities say that he is not level-headed or honest, and 53% say that he "does not care about average Americans."

Working in Trump's favor: Slightly more say that Trump has good leadership skills (49% to 46%), and large majorities believe that he is intelligent and a strong person.

The Quinnipiac University poll was conducted between January 20 and 25, and surveyed 1,190 voters nationwide. It has a margin of error of +/- 2.8 points.

Voted one-star-terrible for ZippyJuan/CPUd thread. Purpose of thread is hardly information sharing and hardly for discussion, but to disrupt site and be contrary.

Rating is not for the text of article, but bad behavior by the OP.

Still a bit of partisan divide for most Q's. Could be a few months before those numbers start to even out.

Some interesting Q's here:

[timosman]

We do not poll anybody. We just make up $#@!.

I was under the impression that this was a libertarian forum (please correct me if I'm wrong).

Consequently, why would criticizing the current, unlibertarian POTUS "disrupt" anything?

I am also interested in the answer to this question.

Dumping his twitter could help his numbers across the board:

[Anti Federalist]

So he's terrible, and over 95 percent of people would vote for him again.

He definitely should not talk to Mr. Trump on Twitter. This man is bad.

[eleganz]

People who don't know $#@!, still don't know $#@!.

[CPUd]

Those "change vote" numbers would probably stay the same for at least a couple years. These are people rationalizing their vote.

So....what does that say about people?

[timosman]

Are you saying those are the bad people?

[timosman]

So....what does that say about people?

What would you like to hear?

[MallsRGood]

What would you like to hear?

"I know nothing, about anything, and thus I pledge to never vote again."

I know, I'm a dreamer..

CPUd, an honest question: has he done anything at all you like?

So far he's signed these E/Os:

ACA enforcement relief.
Freeze of pending federal regulations
Backed out of TPP
Put the "Mexico City" policy back in place
Froze federal workforce hiring
Encourage pipeline completion
Expedited environmental reviews of infrastructure projects
Encourage made in the US pipeline materials
Review of manufacturing regulations
Border security orders

Further, as noted by Andrew Napolitano, the EO regarding ACA directs government enforcement to always default to position to favor the individual over the government.

That's what he's done so far.

Much of that should give any fair minded liberty person a reason to be optimistic.

Based on what he's done, what's your beef?

Q. Does anyone here really believe that federal spending will drop 1 cent in the next 4-8 years?

...not a drop relative the proposed increase...

...an actual cut year over year.

I don't really care either way at the present. The EO's so far are mostly symbolic. Let him sign or veto a few bills and that may change.

Not a fair question. They just need to stop growing. The inflation will take care of the rest.
