Donald Trump’s approval rating is absolutely terrible and has been throughout the course of his presidency. The president will be even more furious to know that his biggest threat and rival, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, has recently surpassed his own favorability rating — proving that the next two years are going to be hell for his presidency.
According to a new CNN poll by SSRS, Pelosi’s approval rating is now two points higher than Trump’s, putting her at 42 percent just a few weeks after assuming her new role as Speaker of the House. Trump, on the other hand, has an approval rating of 40 percent. Considering that Pelosi’s rating saw an eight-point jump thanks to the way she owned Trump during his pathetic government shutdown, it’s safe to say that the gap between Trump and Pelosi is going to grow quickly. The poll stated:
If there is a political winner to come out of the most recent shutdown, the poll suggests it is the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi. Her favorability ratings have risen 8 points since December, buoyed by a 22-point rise in favorability among liberal Democrats (from 65% favorable in December to 87% favorable now).
Neither Trump nor Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell have seen meaningful growth on this measure over the same time frame.

Meanwhile, Trump’s disapproval rating at 55 percent — and that’s only going to get higher with time. It was reported:
But most still disapprove of the President’s work on the issue (54% disapprove) and the public is largely opposed to Trump’s proposed paths forward on the wall he pledged to build along the southern border between the United States and Mexico.
Two-thirds say he should not declare a national emergency in order to build the wall (66% should not vs. 31% should), and 57% say they would oppose another partial government shutdown over wall funding.”
Looks like this will be another bad week for Trump!
