President Donald Trump's first job-approval rating is in, and they are the lowest an incoming president has ever received.
Only 45% of Americans approve of Trump's job performance over the first three days of his presidency, according to a Gallup survey released Monday. It's the first time a president has received an initial approval rating under 50% in the history of the poll, which dates back to Dwight Eisenhower's first term in 1953.
Another 45% of Americans disapproved of Trump's performance — also the highest initial rating in the poll's history. The last 10% had not yet formed an opinion.
Republicans and Democrats were sharply divided over the president's performance, the poll indicated, with 90% of Republicans signaling approval and 81% of Democrats disapproving.
Independents appear to be split, with 40% approving and 44% disapproving.
Men were more likely to approve of Trump's performance than women — 48% to 42%. The racial disparity was even greater, with 56% of whites approving compared to 22% of nonwhites.
