President Trump hits majority disapproval in record time, Gallup finds
Source: LA Times
President Trump's actions during his first week in office have appeared to be aimed at the voters who already supported him, not at reaching out to the rest, and that's taken a rapid toll on his support, which was already historically low.
Gallup, which has measured job approval for presidents for decades, shows Trump's approval so far at 45%, with 48% disapproving. That's an average of several days' polling.
The daily trend lines are not kind to the new administration. As of Saturday, 51% of Americans disapproved of Trump's performance.
That's a record for the speed of getting to majority disapproval.

(2,037 posts)His rise in Australia, from the proprietor of a struggling newspaper started by his father, to a media powerhouse, was said to have been financed by the CIA in the 1970s through the Nugan Hand Bank - basically a Richard Secord-run money laundry they kept around to finance illegal activities in that part of the world.
Nugan Hand was shut down by Australian regulators in 1980; Murdoch, alas, couldn't be touched.

(2,037 posts)The SEC, to uncover any financial wrongdoing; and the FCC, to reimpose the Fairness Doctrine and review their permit to parade as a news outlet when the courts have only authorized them to operate as "entertainment."
