Poll: Trump’s approval rating makes him least popular first-year president on record

President Trump’s low approval rating has made him the least popular first-year president on record, according to an Associated Press-NORC poll released Saturday.

The survey shows the president’s approval rating sitting at 32 percent, while 67 percent disapprove. Trump’s approval rating has remained steady in the poll from September, but is down 10 points from March.

Another AP-NORC poll conducted this month found strongly pessimistic attitudes among Americans toward the president in his first year in office.

Only three in 10 Americans polled said the U.S. is headed in the right direction, while 52 percent said the country is worse off since Trump entered office in January. 

Forty-five percent of Americans polled said they did not believe that Trump has kept his campaign promises, compared to 23 percent who said he has.

The poll comes as Trump wraps up his first year as president, and is poised to deliver a major campaign promise in the form of overhauling the U.S. tax code.

However, enacting a tax-cut bill would mark Trump’s first legislative victory with a Republican-controlled Congress, 11 months into his presidency.

The president and congressional Republicans failed twice this year to deliver on their seven-year campaign promise to repeal and replace ObamaCare.

Despite lacking a large number of legislative victories, Trump has touted his administration’s productivity during his first year in office.  

The AP-NORC polls were conducted Nov. 30 through Dec. 4 among 1,444 adults and Dec. 7-11 among 1,020 adults. The first survey had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.7 percentage points, while the second survey’s margin of error was plus or minus 4.3 percentage points.
