WE HAVE TO KEEP THE PRESSURE ON- Poll: Trumps transition has lowest approval rating since 1992





Donald Trump’s transition into the White House has the lowest approval rating of any incoming president dating back to 1992, according to a Gallup poll out Wednesday morning.

Trump has made a spectacle of his transition. The billionaire has taken dozens of meetings inside Trump Tower with government officials, business leaders and celebrities, including rapper Kanye West and former Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis, as reporters have staked out in the lobby taking note of notable figures who come in and out.

...


According to the survey, Trump is also poised to enter the Oval Office with the lowest job approval rating ever recorded by Gallup. Presidents Ronald Reagan in 1981 and George H.W. Bush in 1989 have the lowest initial job approval rating at 51 percent, but Trump could take office with an approval rating in the low 40 percent range if recent historical patterns hold.

The national survey of 1,028 adults was conducted Dec. 7-11 via landlines and cellphones. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.

It is our raison d'etre to ensure his presidency is a failed one.
George W. Bush's approval rating was 19% on 10/3/08/ That's our goal.

They will be with him until the end. I suspect there were still Germans who still supported Hitler after he brought Germany to ruin and didn't even have the stones to face the consequences.

That gives him a floor of 20% -25%.

Will repeat the history of Germany from 1932 to 1936.

Terrorist attack will put a fork in our Democratic Republic. We are all good Germans now.

I hope my FEMA camp houses Noam Chomsky and Chris Hedges.

Michael Moore sez the Republicans will hold a special session the weekend of the Inauguration to gut SS Medicare.

AKA: CORPORATIZE!

Pity the struggling $80,000 a day health insurance CEO's!
