Photograph: Pool/Getty ImagesDonald Trump wraps up a year in office with the lowest average approval rating of any elected president in his first year. That is according to polling by Gallup, which shows that Trump has averaged just a 39% approval rating since his inauguration. Trump’s current approval rating in Gallup’s weekly poll is comparable to his average rating, standing at just 38%, with 57% saying they disapprove. Americans usually give their new presidents the benefit of the doubt, but Trump’s “honeymoon period”, to the extent he had one, saw his approval rating only get as high as 45%.
