Trump poll numbers bottom out In critical after care bill fiasco
Barack Obama ordered Trump Tower offices to be wiretapped.
The House and Senate are investigating both allegations.
Obama’s approval ratings hovered in the low-60% range during his first two months in office, according to Gallup.
Even former President George W. Bush saw his Gallup job numbers average in the mid-50% range.
At the same time, Trump’s disapproval jumped from 56% to 59% in the same period of time, Gallup found.

That put Trump below Obama’s lowest-ever approval of 38% and President Bill Clinton’s worst of 37%.
Even Trump’s most ardent backers are losing patience with the young administration.
The new Morning Consult/Politico poll found that 81% of Republican voters support Trump — down from 88% earlier this month.
The support from Americans who cast their votes for Trump also dropped — from 92% to 84%, the poll found.
Only 26% said they are “very confident” in Trump’s ability to serve as commander-in-chief, the survey found.
Another 21% would only say they are “somewhat confident” in Trump. Another 13% are “not too confident,” while 36% aren’t “at all” confident.
Trump is still holding strong with his base, however, compared with Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
The poll found that only 64% of GOP voters have a positive view of Ryan, while a puny 40% are impressed with McConnell.
Some 2,000 registered voters from across the country were surveyed on March 24-25, according to Morning Consult. The survey has a margin of error of two percentage points.
