How the failing Donald Trump's awful ratings compare to Barack Obama's. Sad!

United States President Donald Trump has never had it worse in the Oval Office.

On 18 March 2017, his approval ratings were at a net -21, worse than any day since he took office on 20 January.

It is the latest in a tawdry string of polling ratings from Gallup - the president's average net approval stands at a lethargic -9.85.

In fact, Donald Trump has only been in positive figures for two days, when he stood at +1 on 24 and 25 January.

For perspective Barack Obama averaged a +2.36 rating for his presidency, based on Gallup weekly polls.

Moreover at this point in his presidency Obama was enjoying a popularity honeymoon.

The comparison makes from grim reading for the Trump administration:

Trump is in his honeymoon.

The worst is probably yet to come.
