President Trump’s performance in comparison to former U.S presidents’
President Trump’s approval rating as conducted by NBC News/ Wall Street Journal has dropped from last month’s 41% to 39%. His overall approval rating by NBC/WSJ poll is the lower compared to Barack Obama’s (50 percent), Bill Clinton’s (60 percent), and George W. Bush’s (82 percent) as conducted at the same point in their presidencies. The survey was conducted from January 13th to 17th. This was after the controversy over the president’s impious words about immigration from selected countries, and during the probability of a threatening partial government shutdown. The polls closed just before the president’s first anniversary in office on Saturday 20th, January.
