Maybe Trump isn’t all that loathed. After all, he’s ahead of where Obama was at the same point in his term, and nobody in the press was calling Obama “loathed.”
And his tax cuts are sure a lot more popular with voters than Obama's signature healthcare law.

Trump’s Approval Rating Drops Back To His Worst With 2 New Polls
Gun policy looms as key threat to president’s support, polls find.
Support for stricter gun laws has spiked to the
highest level since 1993 and Americans aren’t happy with Trump’s position on the issue, CNN has found.
Despite Trump’s bullish take on his performance, the president’s approval rating fell five points over last month to 35 percent, according to a
CNN survey, conducted by polling firm SSRS. That number matches the lowest rating of his presidency in December.
A separate poll by USA Today and Suffolk University’s Political Research Center found similar results, with the president’s approval rating also
slipping to match the lowest pointthat survey has found at 38 percent, with 60 percent disapproving of the job he’s doing.
Gun control looks to be a particular problem for the president.
The CNN poll was conducted Feb. 20 to 23 amid outrage over guns in the wake of the Parkland school shooting that killed 17 people. Only a third of those polled approve of how Trump is handling gun control policy, with 54 percent disapproving, the CNN poll found. Just over 12 percent of those surveyed said they have yet to make up their mind on the issue.
