Donald Trump is only six months into his presidency, and the numbers aren't looking good -- and that isn't fake news. According to a Gallup poll that tracked the president's approval and disapproval ratings at the 200-day mark as Commander in Chief, 36 percent of Americans say they approve of Trump as the leader of the free world. 58 percent voiced their disapproval.
