The answer is still no.

Donald Trump just keeps REVERSE-WINNING things! He reverse-repealed Obamacare with fellow success story Paul Ryan on Friday, just like he reverse-won the popular vote in the 2016 election, and because he has such a strong business acumen and surrounds himself with the best people, the American people have responded by giving him the reverse-biggest approval rating of all time! OK, maybe not technically the “reverse-biggest,” because Trump can’t even win when first prize means coming in dead last. But the 36% approval rating in the Gallup poll that came out Monday is pretty bad. Maybe administrations that can’t even pass basic legislation when their parties control ALL THE GOVERNMENT, and also that maybe committed treason with Russia, aren’t actually all that popular, on balance!

Here, Vox will line up some presidents now and make them all whip it out to see how they measure up:

A new poll released on Monday by Gallup found that Trump’s approval rating has plummeted to 36 percent — 2 points lower than President Barack Obama’s nadir of 38 percent, which he hit in both 2011 and 2014. […]

Beyond Obama, Trump is now more unpopular than several other recent presidents were at any point during their presidencies, according to Gallup. Bill Clinton’s all-time low was 37 percent, as his first year in office was weighed down by the Whitewater scandal; Gerald Ford only hit a low of 37 percent; and Dwight D Eisenhower never dipped below 48 percent.

Isn’t Whitewater when the Clintons were just cold body-counting everybody? NO, IT IS NOT, BERNIE HANGERS-ON, you read that in the fake news memes Russia put in your news feed, because Russia has no manners.

But don’t worry, while Trump’s approval rating is indeed tiny, and it’s virtually UNHEARD OF for new presidents to be sucking this hard before the first 100 days are over, it’s not the smallest one America has ever seen:

But while ugly, Trump’s unpopularity isn’t unprecedented, either. George W. Bush sank to 25 percent during the Iraq War; Jimmy Carter fell to 28 percent; and Richard Nixon hit 24 percent as impeachment hung over his head.

Vox adds that Reagan went all the way down to 35% at one point, so Trump should reverse-beat that record by Thursday or so.

And there is even more hope for Trump! If he is president for six or seven minutes longer, we’re sure he can get as unpopular as Nixon was right before he resigned! We’re all pretty sure the Russia scandal is indeed bigger than Watergate, so maybe Trump can actually make history and tank himself into the teens before this is all over.

Another thing that is more beloved than Donald Trump is George W. Bush when he was letting New Orleans drown in real time:

HECKUVA JOB, TRUMPIE.

Oh well, it’s probably just “shrinkage” and “don’t worry it happens to all guys,” just kidding no it doesn’t, you suck, Donald Trump, you really, really do.

    I hope this is true. We remember when Nate Silver predicted a 90% chance of winning for the Hillz.

    • MynameisBlarney

      He obviously didn’t take the Rooshans, FBI and the turmp campaign colluding to subvert our democracy.

    • ryp

      Unfortunately that still left Trump with a better odds than hitting an inside straight on the river in Hold’em, and any one who plays poker will tell you that shit does happen.

    • Jgb979

      90% was probably spot on if not for Comey’s “surprise I’m investigating Hillary no im not”

      Iirc his election eve predictions were much more cautious. Gallup had Hillary +1% (with 3% margin of error)

    • Lizzietish81

      Didn’t someone say before the election that if someone were ahead in the polls and yet lost, we should probably investigate that?

      • Liberoid Ron

        That sounds like a good idea. You should probably get on that at some point.

    • Phoenixdoglover

      Point of order. Nate’s prediction was oscillating like a yoyo, and gave Hilary about a 65-70% chance at the end.

    • Good_Gawd_Yall

      Hillary DID win. 3+million more votes = winning.

    • Celtic_Gnome

      Silver’s a bit tarnished in my book these days. When he went 50 for 50 in 2012, he was more than happy to take complete credit and bask in the adulation of his incredible mathematical/prognostication skills. His defense in 2016? The polls were all wrong, and all I do is go through all the polls and summarize them for you so that you don’t have to.

      A surprise anal fisting by the invisible hand of the free market?

          • Liberoid Ron

            Their ‘America’ is quite a small place. It’s made up of themselves, their family, people who are exactly like them, their job. None of the rest of it is real to them, just images on the TV. This makes appealing to them easy, and you can get away with the big stuff because they don’t care.

    Having just spent a week with Trumpanzees (Do. Not. Ask.) I can tell you this: they all believe the most insane, stupid, obvious bullshit lies about Obama, so they excuse anything Dolt 45 does by comparing it to the Faux Gnus they prefer to reality. Example: “I don’t want to hear about how much it costs for him to go golfing after how much Obama’s wife and kids cost,” to which another moron replied “His mother-in-law gets a lifetime pension from the government and lifetime Secret Service protection.” At that point I basically shouted, “Bullshit!” and then, “NO POLITICS.” I was outnumbered 13 to one and deeply regretting my life choices at that point. Oh, and the one who blathered the nonsense about Grandma’s pension also said you have crystals in your ears that have to get re-aligned when you get vertigo. So there’s that.

      This is why it pisses me off when people say liberals should “reach out” to Trumpanzees. How are you going to change the minds of people who literally believe that if you want to believe something, that makes it true, and everything you don’t want to believe is a lie? Trying to reason with paranoid schizophrenics doesn’t go that well either, in my experience, and this is the same phenomenon. Every new piece of information either gets shut out or gets incorporated into their delusional structures.

      And in some cases, have accidentally eaten their telephone.

    So at what point does this go from the consent of the governed to, “Hey governed, you sure do got a real purdy mouth”?

  • Good_Gawd_Yall

    Despite everything, I still believe that at least a portion of that 36% are saying they approve of him because they’re morans who think they’re “sticking it” to liberals by artificially pumping up Dolt 45’s numbers. The others are just regular morans.

  • I bet his minions tell him ‘Approval Ratings’ are like golf scores and presidential hand size: The smaller the better.

    The Fox news bubble will isolate him from falling much lower.

    Isn’t Whitewater when the Clintons were just cold body-counting everybody? NO, IT IS NOT, BERNIE HANGERS-ON, you read that in the fake news memes Russia put in your news feed, because Russia has no manners.

    • ahughes798

      I don’t know personally one Bernie supporter who claimed that Hillary had a body count. Not ONE. That’s what my conservative whack-a-do friends say, though. They still believe it, too, which is why I hope no-one surnamed Clinton ever runs for anything again.

      • Panika MCD

        so because you didn’t personally know any means the ones I did encounter (in person even!) just didn’t exist! thanks for clearing up everything with anecdotal evidence and ruling out George Clinton as a candidate at the same time.

          I hope the P-Funk All-Stars get cabinet positions.

            and they’ll finally convert us to a parliamentary system!

        • ahughes798

          George Clinton is too smart to run for president. Maybe Bernie Bros said stuff like that, but I don’t know any Bernie Bros. I just know people who supported Bernie.

          • Panika MCD

            and your perspective is the only perspective. I understand.

          • ahughes798

            I’m not saying that, am I? I was speaking for myself.

          • Panika MCD

            are you or your friends considered Bernie O’Busteds or Bernie Hangers-On? if not, there was no reason to reply to my comment with your anecdotal evidence like you are a Bernie Hanger On-er. NOT ONE!

      • HazooToo

        We’ve had several of them visit us, specifically to tell us about the “clinton body count”. I don’t know any Canadians, personally, in my neighborhood, but I still believe they exist. Also, stop dogging the Clinton name and start defending it.

        • ahughes798

          Hillary’s got shit-loads of money, nice houses, a great daughter and grandkids. I’m sure my “dogging” her is not going to hurt her one little bit. Time for new faces and last names to represent the Democratic Party.

          • HazooToo

            I’m hoping Kristen Gillibrand runs. But as for the rest of what you said, you don’t think it’s a little bit hurtful when people want you dead or imprisoned because you’ve been smeared with bullshit for 30 years? People you’ve worked hard to represent and serve?

          • ahughes798

            I will learn more about Kristen Gilllibrand. Thank you! Maybe it is hurtful to her, but I don’t know…I would think money is a great insulator. When you got it, you can go where ever you want, Including far away from the US.

          • HazooToo

            I would suggest checking her record on trump’s nominee votes, and also her Twitter feed and Wikipedia page. And as for Hillary’s money, yes she could escape. But she’s still here, speaking up for us, and catching shit. I admire that.

      • sgt. jmk of the résistance

        I actually know several. Several others think that “there might be something in it.”

        CDS is rampant among the more strident of the Berneratti.

        • ahughes798

          That’s just so weird to me because the Clinton Body Count was such a Republican conspiracy theory, going back years. Do these people not understand that the Clinton’s know hundreds of people, and that in the course of the years they’ve known them, some of them are going to die from old age, disease, etc.? I must not know enough assholes.

    alternative win: he convinced dead people to become involved in the political process! https://www.texastribune.org/2017/03/23/rural-school-choice-letter-campaign-sparks-confusion-inside-texas-capi/

    alternative win: he has the lowest par when it comes to approval ratings for a president in the first 100 days! it is also too lower than his best par!

    alternative win: he’s not dead last because Poots has decided the plutonium shot can wait! (but when it comes to that, he’ll take that plutonium shot THE BEST. he’s going to be a real winner at taking plutonium shots. he’ll do it as a body shot off Nunes!)

  • WiscoJoe

    Looks like Trump is on track to meet his goal of getting on the cover of Time magazine even more than Nixon did.

    I totally support Trump’s efforts to attain the Guinness World Record for Unpopularity in a President.

    GO DONALD!!!

  • beatbort

    There will be only one option for Trump after this pretend presidency is over: To don a wrestling mask, and enter the professional ring as the “Evil Opponent”. Maybe sporting the name Dandy Dick Flare

  • Raan

    I’m torn between wanting the Republican establishment to act on their plan to impeach the Beast and install the Whore-hopper (I assume that is their plan, and that everyone they backed losing miserably wasn’t just incompetence), and wanting the slow bleeding to continue, in order to watch and laugh as the Beast gets more angry and impotent.

    According to the sources Trump reads including polls of Breitbart readers his approval is 97% and he’s gonna jail the other 3%. Stop lying liberals with your fake news. MAGA!

    Anything larger than a tiny fraction of 1% blows my fucking mind.

          Explosive decompression is the way to go…then at least you get sucked out still in your seat. Makes it easier for others to find and identify the body too. Yes, that has actually happened a few times

          • Scrofula

            Not really. That stuff on airplanes is more “500mph winds blow you into the sky”. Pressure diff. is 15psi max. Submersibles get into the 1000s of PSI diff, and literally turn you inside out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byford_Dolphin.

          • Hairstrike Alpha

            Lol. I was talking about it sucking you out of the plane. Not turning you into hamburger. The ground does that part for you

          • Scrofula

            I like sharing the story whenever I can, though (or anytime Total Recall comes on, and I point out to the dog that no one Mt. Everest ever has their eyes bulge out like that). Mainly for the “where’s his ribcage?” part.

          • CatCafe #ShePurrsisted

            Not if you’re sucked out over water!!! Then they find your body, still strapped into its Air France seat, deep down in the Pacific Ocean! Fun times!

      I guess that explains why we can’t have criminal investigations into the President’s dealings with Russia.

  • Mavenmaven

    “Probably just shrinkage” is how he explains his hands and everything.

  • House0fTheBlueLights

    Haha he sucks so much. 36%! haha, here Donald, why don’t you sign this EO that DECIMATES the climate goals for the ENTIRE FUCKING PLANET because even though you suck so hard you are still president and the colluding Rethugs don’t care as long as they get to kill everything and everyone.

    I’m sorry, there was supposed to be a joke in there somewhere, but I got distracted by how we’re all going to die.

    • Sharon Cooper

    How to spin this: Eisenhower never below 48%! Many people don’t know what Ike was a Republican. Lots of people don’t know that!

    • Thaumaturgist

      Hah! Lots of people don’t know Lincoln was a Republican.

      • Sharon Cooper

        Yeah, but that was back when Republicans actually were crazy rebels who believed in freeing slaves.

        • Bitter Scribe

          And in not letting other crazy rebels dismember the country.

          (Which is starting to look like a good idea right about now.)

    • SkinlessGenderlessMan

      Yeah, Ike was a Republican​. Knew how to keep unemployment down and the economy strong, too – 90+% highest marginal income tax rate, and spent some of the loot on one of the biggest direct government spending programs ever; the Interstate Highway system.

      In other words, “tax the rich and pave the fucking roads”, a lesson that my truck’s suspension thinks that Tennessee should start paying attention to. Texas also, too…

      • CatCafe #ShePurrsisted

        Also signed a Civil Rights Act and stopped the war in Korea….

    “Dwight D Eisenhower never dipped below 48 percent.”

    I Like Ike!
    ( More than Trump. And apparently so does nearly everybody else. )

    • davefromoregon

      Ike had done a thing before he became president that almost the entire world had approved of. If you google WWII, his name figures prominently. Eisenhower was not a dick.

      Trump, well,…… built some hotels with government and Daddy’s money. And there was discussion of grabbing women by something or other.

      It will take a major 9/11 kind of event to rescue his approval rating. Dog help us…..

      • CatCafe #ShePurrsisted

        Right? He did a whole BUNCH of stuff that was kind of pretty good. He also actually was the only person with “war cred” enough to stop the fighting in Korea, he tried to enact an early version of the Civil Rights Act (overturned by Congress) and spoke vehemently AGAINST war and the coming “military-industrial complex.”

  • whitroth

    And Trumpolini heads for 25 & impeachment (or maybe 25th Amendmentent)!

  • Manhattan123

    Tiny hands, tiny poll.They go together.

  • CATMAN

    Judging by his approval rating of 70-80% among Republicans, his approval rating among independents and Democrats must be in the 20’s as these two groups are around 60% of the electorate, things are worse for Trump than a 36% approval indicates

    • Vagenda and Pee-ara

      It’s astounding to me how stupid Republicans are.
