preview

drudgereport.comThe Drudge Report, on Monday, compared President Donald Trump’s lagging poll numbers to those of former President Jimmy Carter’s ahead of his 1980 reelection bid.The highly-trafficked aggregation site led with the headline, “POLL SHOCK: TRUMP APPROVAL 38%… JIMMY CARTER LEVELS,” and linked to a CNN which noted President Trump’s polling similarities to the 39th president.“Overall 38% approve of the way Trump is handling the presidency, while 57% disapprove,” CNN reported, explaining, “That’s his worst approval rating since January 2019, and roughly on par with approval ratings for Jimmy Carter and George H.W.

Ted Kennedy (D-MA).Last year, Carter , “I think it will be a disaster to have four more years of Trump.”Despite Drudge Report founder Matt Drudge&nbsp;being by some with having “ushered in the age of Trump,” President Trump and the Drudge Report have had a over the past few years, culminating in a spat between the two in April.After President Trump , “I gave up on Drudge (a really nice guy) long ago, as have many others. People are dropping off like flies!” Matt Drudge , “The past 30 days has been the most eyeballs in Drudge Report’s 26 year-history… Heartbreaking that it has been under such tragic circumstances.”Have a tip we should know?Filed Under:Please enable JavaScript to view theTips.You may also like:
