The finding was the lowest approval rating yet for Trump from Quinnipiac.<\/p>\n<p>CNN\u2019s latest Trump approval rating poll, meanwhile, showed the president at 34%, while the latest AP-NORC poll found Trump at 33%.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My REAL Polling Numbers, not those made up by the Fake News Media, are the best they have ever been, and why wouldn\u2019t they be with the biggest tax cuts and employment numbers EVER, the biggest outside Investment in America in World history, a totally secure Border, a giant Victory in Venezuela, the Denuclearization of Iran, unparalleled respect and success throughout the World, and much more? Don\u2019t believe the Radical Left\u2019s Fake Poll numbers. They are Crooked and Corrupt, just like the Country Destroying Dumocrats are Crooked and Corrupt.

Thank you for your attention to this matter!&#8221; Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/117031820986118471\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wrote<\/a> on Truth Social.<\/p>\n<p>CNN&#8217;s chief data correspondent<strong> Harry Enten<\/strong> covered the latest Trump polls late last week and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediaite.com\/media\/tv\/terrible-terrible-terrible-cnn-data-guru-says-trump-is-heading-towards-an-electoral-black-hole\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">warned<\/a> it &#8220;does not appear that there is a bottom. Trump is heading towards an electoral black hole.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I feel like this is like one of those magician\u2019s tricks, right? Where the floor just falls out from beneath you, and that is exactly what\u2019s happening with President Trump,&#8221; Enten continued, adding, &#8220;Trump\u2019s approval hits record, two-term lows out this week. You know you mentioned the CNN poll: 34%. You think that\u2019s all? How about AP-NORC: 33%. You think that\u2019s all? How about Quinnipiac University? 32%. So you look at them and you get three different pollsters all saying that Trump is hitting term two lows this week.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Enten went on to add some historical context, &#8220;Yeah, OK, so we\u2019ll compare it to history. Let\u2019s compare it to the other presidents who got a term two in the 21st Century. You can see it right here and I\u2019m averaging CNN, Quinnipiac and the AP. approval. 21st century presidents at this point in term two, you average them out: CNN, Quinnipiac, AP, you get 33% for Trump.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Obama wasn\u2019t too hot to trot, but he was at least at 41%. How about <strong>George W. Bush<\/strong>? The Iraq war was raging on back then during the 2006 electoral cycle, he was still at 38%. Trump is at the lowest of any president at this point in term two for a 21st-century president; you have to go all the way back to <strong>Richard Nixon<\/strong> to find a lower approval rating at this point in term two. And, of course, Richard Nixon was resigning in about a few weeks at this point in 1974 not the comparison you want to be making if you\u2019re Donald John Trump,&#8221; Enten concluded.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediaite.com\/politics\/trump-rails-against-crooked-and-corrupt-polling-amid-spate-of-new-data-putting-his-approval-in-the-low-30s\/\">Trump Rails Against \u2018Crooked and Corrupt\u2019 Polling Amid Spate of New Data Putting His Approval in the Low 30s<\/a> first appeared on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediaite.com\">Mediaite<\/a>.<\/p>\n<script async=\"async\" data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/pl30214220.effectivecpmnetwork.com\/9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\/invoke.js\"><\/script>\r\n<div id=\"container-9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\"><\/div>\r\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jacquelyn Martin\/AP Photo President Donald Trump raged at the political polling industry on Monday, declaring the recent spate of polls showing his approval rating in the low 30s &#8220;are Crooked and Corrupt.&#8221; Trump, who has long been fixated on his media coverage, has seen his approval ratings drop to all-time lows in recent weeks.
