When a President takes office, there is a “honeymoon period” where the polls are favorable and everyone is looking forward to the new person in the White House.

Donald Trump is only the second President to enter office with negative poll numbers. The first was (checks notes) Donald Trump.

Trump is the only President (since they started doing these polls) who never reached a 50% approval rating the entire time he was in office. His highest rating was still lower than Obama’s lowest rating.

He lost the popular vote the first time, lost it by even more the second time, and although he won this time, it was with less than 50% of the vote (thanks to third party candidates).

So when Trump people say he has the people’s support, that’s not true. He has never had a majority of Americans supporting him. Never.
