A majority of Americans disapprove of President Donald Trump, according to a new Gallup poll.

As of Sunday, Trump's approval rating was at 42 percent compared to a disapproval rating of 51 percent. The numbers come just days after the White House issued a controversial executive order, banning immigration from seven predominately-Muslim countries and permanently stopping Syrian refugees from coming to the U.S.

The Gallup poll tracks daily approval ratings for Trump through a survey of 1,500 Americans.

The numbers reflect a record time for a president to receive a majority unfavorable rating, The Hill reported. Trump was sworn in Jan. 20, at which time his favorability rating was at 45 percent. It climbed to its highest point- 46 percent - on Jan. 25 and has fallen since then.

Former President Barack Obama had been in office two years before his disapproval rating reached 51 percent in 2011, Gallup tracking shows. President George W. Bush took office in 2001, his disapproval rating didn't exceed 50 percent until May 2004. President Bill Clinton's disapproval rating topped 50 percent six months into office.

Trump was the first elected president who initial approval ratings were below 50 percent, Gallup said. Trump also elicited the highest disapproval rating - 45 percent - of any new president.
