Two weeks into Donald Trump’s presidency, the country remains sharply divided along partisan lines. A large majority of Republicans approves of President Trump and his recent executive order temporarily restricting entry into the U.S. by foreigners and refugees, while Democrats disapprove in similar numbers.

Slightly more Americans disapprove (51 percent) than approve (45 percent) of President Trump’s executive order temporarily banning people from entering the U.S. from seven designated countries. Views on temporarily suspending entry for refugees are the same. Opinions on these issues are highly partisan.

In the CBS News Poll’s first measure of Mr. Trump’s job performance as president, 40 percent of Americans approve of the job he is doing -- the lowest of any president just after his first inauguration since the Gallup Poll began taking those measures in 1953. Some 48 percent disapprove.

1. 40% is still terrifying. nt

2. I predict it will be his high water mark

Lots of folks still in the 'give him a chance' mode, or believing the propaganda about his keeping his promises.

Another poll has 4 in 10 pressing for Impeachment now. A good start.

3. If we can keep him there for the entirety of his administration I'll reluctantly take it.

6. I honestly can't believe that figure. I am really starting to believe that we

are a nation of complete morons.

4. Gallup's daily tracking poll has his Disapproval rate at 52 percent

But his Approval rate is higher, as well, at 43 percent.

They update the poll daily at 1 p.m., so I'm always checking with hopes of seeing his approval rate cratering.
