Trump has worse ratings than all but 1 presidency—and the answer is shocking

President Donald Trump’s approval rating is lower than any of his predecessors—except himself.
CNN polling expert Harry Enten explained on Wednesday that Trump’s net approval rating for his second term has reached a new low of negative 11 percentage points. The president had a positive six-point approval rating at the start of his second term, but that number has steadily dropped during his first six months.
“Six months in, the rules of political gravity absolutely apply to Donald Trump and the USS Donald Trump taking on a lot of water ... His net approval rating has dropped nearly 20 points in the aggregates since the beginning of his presidency,” Enten said on CNN.
“The American people do not like what they’re seeing, and Donald Trump’s administration is in a ton of trouble at this point in the minds of the American voters,” he added.
Enten later explained that the only president who had a lower net approval rating than Trump was Trump himself during his first term.
“I do have one piece of good news for Donald Trump, and that there is one other presidency that has a lower net approval rating at this point than this one,” Enten said. “The bad news is that it was Donald Trump’s other presidency, his first presidency, net approval rating six months in.”
“The worst was in 2017 Donald Trump was 16 points underwater. The second worst, however, is this Donald Trump presidency, 11 points underwater. The average president at this point, since 1953, has a plus 27 net approval rating,” Enten said.
He said Trump is 40 points lower than the average president at this particular point.
“The bottom line is six months into this administration, I think that most Americans would apply the words, ‘disaster, terrible, awful, horrible.’ I think that is the way that the American people would see it. At this particular point, he is so far below, underwater compared to the average president, the only one he beats out is him in term number one, I don’t think that’s exactly the metric he wants to be applying himself,” Enten said.
Earlier in the segment, he said Trump is “underwater on all the major issues.”
“My goodness gracious, on every single issue, Donald Trump is below water on all the major ones. They’re all dragging him down no matter it seems what Donald Trump does, the American people do not like it, and that is why at this particular point he’s at a term two low,” he said.
