After a year in office Trump & Obama (to December) had the same approval ratings - 46/47 depending which day you take.
The difference is Obama plummeted, Trump rose.

After 4 years in office Trump will leave America and the western world in a hugely better place than he found it. Merkel will be reviled for what she has done to her country.

That's not true, dear, and you know it. Trump has unprecedented unpopularity - the lowest of any post-war president, including Nixon during Watergate.

To date, and with each new scandal, Trump's unpopularity has dropped, as every schoolboy knows.

Merkel, by contrast, has lowered after years in office. The "it's time" factor has weighed in in Germany. People are tired of Merkel, but by no means unhappy with her. Germany's economic prosperity is surpassing the post-war years. While Germans want new leadership, they're reluctant to see things change.

In the US, it's the opposite.

Warning: Muslim lying to infidel again!

Much has been made about President Donald Trump’s relatively low approval ratings, but Trump has ended his first year in office on par with his predecessor Barack Obama.

A Rasmussen poll released on Thursday put Trump at a 46 percent approval rating and a 53 percent disapproval rating.
On the same date at the end of Obama’s first year in office — December 28, 2009 — Obama was sitting at a 47 percent approval rate and a 52 percent disapproval rate. Just one day later, on December 29, Obama’s approval rating dropped to 46 percent.

Tracking approval ratings from their inaugurations, Obama had a much longer way to fall to get to his end-of-year approval rating.

On his inauguration day, January 20, 2009, Obama enjoyed 67 percent approval and just 32 percent disapproval. Meanwhile, Rasmussen marked Trump with 56 percent approval and 44 percent disapproval when he was sworn into office on January 20, 2017.

Presidential approval ratings are generally high during inaugurations, and Trump only topped his on January 26, 2017, when he hit 59 percent approval. Obama was never able to beat his inauguration approval rating during the first year of his presidency.

Know the enemies of a civil society by their public behaviour, by their fraudulent claim to be liberal-progressive, by their propensity to lie and, above all, by their attachment to authoritarianism.

Good point, Bogie, but that's just Rasmussen. Total polls put Trump at 37.7.

This is a rise, which proves my statement that Trump's polls have consistently dropped incorrect.
