The findings don't come from some conspiratorially motivated business but from long-established pollsters.​

Most Americans disapprove of what Donald Trump and Elon Musk are doing. And that's before most of us have felt the potential harm from their actions.

Where is co-president Elon Musk and his snotnosed band of pubescent hackers when Donald Trump needs them?

You’d have thought that with all the whiz-bang computer skills Musk claims his nerd bros possess, they’d have been able to weasel their way into the data collection systems of some big-time pollsters and jack up the numbers for the co-commander in chief.

But I guess not.

Because it ain’t good news.

According to the most recent Gallup poll, Trump is the least popular president in more than 70 years.

Or, as the company put it on its website: “Trump’s job approval rating is 15 points below the historical average for all other elected presidents in mid-February since 1953.”

Two polls show the same low Trump approval rating​

Gallup continues: “Bill Clinton has the next lowest mid-February rating for a newly inaugurated president ‒ which, at 51%, is six points higher than where Trump is now. John Kennedy (72%) and Jimmy Carter (71%) were the highest rated at this point in their presidencies.”

Ouch!

Six percentage points below Clinton puts Trump’s approval rating at – wait for it – 45%.

President Donald Trump has a 52% approval rating after his first month in office, according to the latest Harvard CAPS/Harris survey.

The poll showed that 33% of respondents strongly approved Trump's performance, while another 19% said they somewhat approved his first month in office. An estimated 43% disapproved, the majority of which claimed strong disapproval, while another 5% was undecided.

Trump's support varies significantly across party lines with about 9 in 10 Republicans approving and nearly 8 in 10 Democrats disapproving. Independents, however, were nearly split down the middle.

The White House shared an article claiming the poll showed "massive support for President Trump and his agenda," with the following data included:

• 81% support deporting criminal illegal immigrants.
• 76% support a “full-scale effort to find and eliminate fraud and waste in government.”
• 76% support closing the border with additional security and policies.
• 69% support keeping men out of women’s sports.
• 68% support government declaring there are only two genders.
• 65% support ending race-based hiring in government.
• 63% support “freezing and re-evaluating all foreign aid expenditures and the department that handled them.”
• 61% support reciprocal tariffs.
• 60% support direct U.S. negotiations with Russia to end the war in Ukraine.
• 59% support cutting government spending already approved by Congress.
• 57% support ending the ban on new offshore drilling.
