According to the latest [Gallup Daily Tracking poll,](http://www.gallup.com/poll/201617/gallup-daily-trump-job-approval.aspx) 60% of Americans disapproved of Trump’s job performance, while 36% approved. The Gallup Daily Tracking poll provides [approval ratings](http://www.gallup.com/interactives/185273/presidential-job-approval-center.aspx?g%5Fsource=WWWV7HP&g%5Fmedium=topic&g%5Fcampaign=tiles) data dating back to Harry Truman. Trump is the only President to hit a 60% disapproval rating within the first four-and-a-half months of his presidency. Bill Clinton had a 50% disapproval rating this far in to his presidency [Barack Obama ](http://time.com/4802148/paris-agreement-barack-obama-donald-trump/)and George W. Bush’s disapproval ratings at this point in their presidencies were 31% and 35% respectively, nearly half of Trump’s. Obama never hit a disapproval rating of 60%. [George W. Bush](http://time.com/4784063/george-bush-photobomb-reporter-interview/) did not hit that number until 2006, when he was halfway through his second term. The poll’s margin of error is plus or minus 3 percentage points and is based on interviews with roughly 1,500 adults. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4816799/donald-trump-disapproval-ratings-poll/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4816799/donald-trump-disapproval-ratings-poll/"},"headline":"President Trump's Disapproval Rating Just Hit Another Record High","datePublished":"2017-06-13T18:10:36.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-23T16:07:41.241Z","description":"60% disapproved of Trump's job performance","url":"https://time.com/4816799/donald-trump-disapproval-ratings-poll/","keywords":["White House","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt52c9295855ef6f1f/6988d13a196cf456d70408b5/trump5.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Alana Abramson","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/alana-abramson/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt52c9295855ef6f1f/6988d13a196cf456d70408b5/trump5.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"President Trump Meets With Senate And House Leadership At The White House","caption":"President Trump Meets With Senate And House Leadership At The White House","creditText":"Olivier Douliery—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/white-house/","name":"White House"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4816799/donald-trump-disapproval-ratings-poll/","name":"President Trump's Disapproval Rating Just Hit Another Record High"}}]}] ```
