The data is in. It's been a month officially as of today for this new presidential term.

And what the data says sort of broadly, bottom line, is that the country kind of hates this guy.

I shouldn't say hate. It's not the right words. It's not a nice word. Maybe it's can't stand him.

Or maybe I shouldn't characterize it at all. I'll just, I'll show you the numbers. I will say

we probably should have seen this coming. I didn't necessarily believe that it was coming

this far, this fast, but, you know, right out of the gate,

Gallup did polling just after the inauguration. They did their first poll on public opinion

of Trump in this second term, starting immediately after the inauguration. Literally, they had

their first poll in the field the first full day Trump was in office, the day after he was sworn in.

That is the definition of the honeymoon period, right?

That's when you are at your high watermark in terms of what people are expecting from you

and hoping for from you.

But in that first Gallup poll of this presidential term, sort of shockingly, Trump was already underwater.

In his first week in office, more Americans disapproved of him than approved of him.

I mean, only about one point, but still, that's unheard of. That's a more than unusual thing

in presidential polling. Gallup, in fact,

said at the time that in the 70 plus years they have been doing presidential polling, Donald Trump

is the only president for whom his approval ratings were underwater right at the start of his

term in office, meaning more people disliked him than liked him. So, so in that,

in that first week, Gallup poll, Trump was underwater 47 approving, 48% disapproving. So that means

he was coming in at at minus one. And like I said, that was something we haven't seen with any other

president. And to me, actually, it was something we haven't seen with any other president.
