    I look at it this way:
    We've had 8 years of capitulation, bowing and apologies. Apparently that's what it takes to get a good approval rating.

    If so, Trump's lower numbers might actually be a good sign.

    He has been in office for a little over a week. That doesn’t create enough data to be able to make a poll.

    May be true. Obama's higher approval rating was likely because the MSM gave Obama a complete pass while today even after the election the MSM is still trying to take out Trump.

    Also those being polled who disapproved of Obama performance back in early January of 2009 lied not wanting to be labeled a racist. You have to remember back in 2009 if you didn't vote for Obama you were labeled a racist. No different than today, if you voted for Trump you are labeled a racist, homophobe, xenophobe, Islamophobe, a nationalist, white supremacist, uneducated, a patriot, an American first bigot, basically making you a deplorable.

    the only accurate numbers are the election results, the polls are run by the rich media outlets who make money from shaping the opinion of the richer half of the country.

    according to the election results, clinton would have had low approval numbers too had she won since most Americans did not come out to vote.

    You're both wrong, the American Indians did not consider land something to be possessed or owned. It was like air, something we all shared because there was plenty of it to go around.

    Then why do I see so many on the left argue that Europeans "stole their land"? If they never thought they could own it, how exactly was it stolen from them?

    And many tribes sold their land in exchange for guns and supplies.

    Like I said before. If Trump does what he said he would he will be very unpopular. Everyone will turn on him (just about). And if you think he is unpopular now just wait. He seems to be doing what he said he would. In my long life I have never seen a President keep his promises. This should be a wild ride.

    It was still theirs first, which is the point. Native Americans don't cry about getting their land back, or being pushed back. Of course, I don't know who came first between the Native Americans and Vikings though. Doesn't matter to me, I have the blood of both coursing through my veins.

    Clinton won the peoples votes, but lost the electoral votes

    Trump lost the peoples votes, but won the electoral votes

    we decide the next President not on the peoples votes, but on the electoral votes

    Trump won, but lost the popular vote....

    You have to be kidding with that garbage. Native Americans fought over land like any other humans on the planet.

    Where did you get that BS from?

    So Trump won.
