According to a new poll by The Washington Post and ABC, President Trump's sixth month in office was met with an abysmally low approval rating.
The score was three points lower than President Gerald Ford, who received a low approval rating after he pardoned former President Nixon, who was involved in the infamous Watergate scandal. Trump's approval rating was just at 36%, and his disapproval rating was 58%.
Trump took to Twitter to respond to the findings of the poll. His tweet can be read below.
The ABC/Washington Post Poll, even though almost 40% is not bad at this time, was just about the most inaccurate poll around election time!
