A month in: how Trump's approval rating measures up

Even though Donald Trump recently insisted that his administration is "running like a fine tuned-machine", polling data suggests that he is far less popular than his predecessors a month into the job. After four weeks in the White House, 53 percent of Americans disapproved of Trump compared to 25 percent for Obama and 21 percent for Bush. Bill Clinton's disapproval rating was 34 percent after his first month in the job. Read the full story on the Independent.
