    A majority of voters disapprove of Donald Trump’s handling of the presidency, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday.

    Less than five weeks into his presidency, Trump has an approval rating of 38 percent and a disapproval rating of 55 percent.

    Trump’s approval is a slight uptick from where it stood in Quinnipiac’s Jan. 26 survey, but 4 points lower than just two weeks ago. Meantime, his disapproval rating has climbed steadily from 44 percent days after he took office to 51 percent on Feb. 7 and 55 percent Wednesday.

    A majority of respondents said Trump is not honest (55 percent), doesn’t have good leadership skills (55 percent) or care about everyday Americans (53 percent), isn’t level-headed (63 percent), doesn’t share their values (60 percent) and is doing more to divide the country than unite it (58 percent). However, a majority also said they believe Trump is a strong and intelligent person (64 percent and 58 percent, respectively.

    “President Donald Trump’s popularity is sinking like a rock,” said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac poll. “He gets slammed on honesty, empathy, level-headedness and the ability to unite. And two of his strong points, leadership and intelligence, are sinking to new lows. This is a terrible survey one month in.”

    History is replete with leaders whose disapproval rating goes up. The opinions of the masses are swayed like the waves tossed by the wind. Rather than judging by approval or disapproval, let us judge by the actions of the leader.

    What evil actions of the US President can you identify?

    Sounds like Bill Clinton.

    It's funny how all humans are sinners, yet we only throw stones at other people's sin.

    I just read the methodology on that poll and I am kind of disappointed in you that you believe everything you read.
    They asked three question instead of two. They asked if people thought he was doing as expected, better or worse. They then omitted as expected from the results. This is the crap I'm sick of, they have done this in each of the polls. According to the polls Hillary is our president.

    All joking aside it's truly dishonest to run this as his number s are down. They are down a very small amount btw from their own flawed data.

    Do you realize how great a man his is? Hillary Clinton spent a billion dollars (Super pacs etc. )
    The media has been in nonstop attack mode.

    First, you didnt really answer the question. You just gave generalities - how about some specifics.- SINCE his inauguration.
    (2) Is there anything Trump has done - that you agree ????

    Since his inauguration. I have no liked his:

    1. Continuing to lie every day.
    2. A number of his cabinet selections.
    3. His favoritism toward Russia and Putin.
    4. His insulting our allies.
    5. His impoliteness to foreign leaders, such as the Australian prime minister
    6. His intolerance to anyone who disagrees with him on anything.
    7. His blaming of anything negative on someone else.
    8. His ridiculous comments about the media.
    9. His continued harping about a wall between the US and Mexico. Ain't gonna happen.
    10. The wasting of tax payer money almost every weekend to fly to Florida and play golf.
    I do approve his not starting a war in his first month in office.

    Congratulations crabby. You made me out a liar - almost!!
    The only answer that really answered the question was # 2; the rest fit into the "malarkey" category, and just OPINION.;)

    No one comes near Trump in his deficiencies. Even Clinton, as morally bankrupt as he was, does not equal Trump.

    Far too soon to comment. Let’s see if the general trend reverses. Give it six months to a year.

    Then shouldn't that be your comment for all the the things you listed in post # 3.

    We wouldn't be talking a double standard, now, would we?

    Not at all good friend. I played the stock market long enough to know that the movement in a day or a week means little as far as the general trend goes. A month on the national debt is pretty meaningless also. It does not show a trend.

    Also, Obama was president the majority of the month of January. Perhaps it is to his credit. What do you say?
