President Donald Trump’s six-month approval rating is the lowest of any president in the past 70 years.
That’s according to the results of an ABC News/Washington Post poll published Sunday, which show that 36 percent of Americans approve of the job Trump is doing as president. Barack Oabama’s rating at the 6-month point, by comparison, was 59 percent.
Trump’s rating is also 6 points lower than historic low he reached at his 100-day point.
Looking at his base, 61 percent of evangelical white Protestants approve of his performance, while 55 percent of white men without a college degree expressed their approval. Just 15 percent of blacks, meanwhile, expressed support for his performance.
Trump, for his part, took to his @realdonaldtrump Twitter account to dismiss the results by writing that “almost 40% is not bad at this time,” and said that the ABC/Washington Post Poll “was just about the most inaccurate poll around election time!”
(Time also notes that the “tweet about the accuracy of the ABC News/Washington Post poll is questionable when the data is actually examined.”)
