Trump will also exit the White House with the lowest average approval rating of any president in the Gallup poll. At 41 percent, the president's rating is four points lower than the averages of Jimmy Carter and Harry Truman, who both ended their terms with 45 percent averages.

He was also impeached again on January 13 and charged with"incitement of insurrection" after a mob of his supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol building on January 6. Trump is the first president in history to be impeached twice.

We don't like trump

You do know that 70% is higher than 50% don’t you

ANOTHER FIRST, SO MUCH WINNING!

Major question for our republic is how it could apparently be that high.

🤣🤣 I bet his foxandfriends OANN polls show he has 75% approval.

That’s what he did, thinking a riot would keep him in office! Can someone stop the invisible jets and the nuke button code changed! Forget the jets we can’t see them!

He has a hard time getting it up without drugs

JHayesinBama why do we care he is gone bye bye

Why don’t you change your title to Newsweak

DemocratsUp Trump was never a president...he is a Con-Man who committed treason against the United States with his only goal of trying to destroy democracy on behalf of an adversary to America, Vladimir Putin...

Figures don’t lie, but you configure..

Trump is the perfect babyboomer (at 75). He was spoiled by his parents.

Divisiveness will never be approved of

According to who? You? Lol GOAT

Not at all surprising to me!

And only his base approves of him now. Low 30’s

I don't think he gives a fk

and that's because most Amercans are sane

Senate Acquits Trump; 7 Republicans Joined All 50 Democrats in ‘Guilty’ Vote'The seven cross-over senators make this the most bipartisan effort ever to convict a president on impeachment charges,' notes ed_kilgore ed_kilgore It’s not “defecting”. It’s called following the law and doing the correct thing. Verbiage matters. ed_kilgore This statement has been fact checked by an independent team of fact checkers. President Trump was found NOT GUILTY and acquitted. ed_kilgore ed_kilgore you called McConnell's statement a 'remarkable rebuke' but honestly, does it matter? McConnell had the chance to vote his (purported) beliefs. He did not. He had the chance to do this while Trump was POTUS. He did not. His words mean nothing. Only his votes matter.

Biden's approval rating about 9 points higher compared with Trump on day 50 in officeThe new president's average approval rating is about 53.4 percent halfway through his first 100 days. Trump was the worst president ever. I was shocked his approval rating was as high as 40%! Must be all those press conferences he is doing. Didn't know he could get high marks for killing people's jobs and running from the press.... SAD
