Outgoing President Donald Trump is facing his final day in office overshadowed by his lowest approval rating in his four-year term.
A poll released by CNN has revealed just 34 per cent of Americans approve of Mr Trump’s presidency while 54 per cent are still pushing for his early removal from office.
Mr Trump will not attend President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration ceremony, which is the first time a president has snubbed his successor's ceremony in over 150 years.
There is also an expectation Mr Trump will issue more than 100 presidential pardons before leaving office

Confirming the development on Saturday night, Zeya tweeted: “In my 25+years as a diplomat, I learned that America’s greatest strength is the power of our example, diversity & democratic ideals. I will uphold and defend these values, if confirmed, as Under Secretary for Civilian Security, Democracy, and Human Rights.
“Thank you, President-elect Biden for centering democracy and human rights in US foreign policy and the opportunity to serve the American people once more alongside the heroic women and men

Ottawa and Alberta are not giving up on the Keystone XL pipeline, and say they will work to persuade U.S. president-elect Joe Biden of the benefits of allowing the project to proceed.
But that message may be too little too late, because news reports said on Sunday that Mr. Biden plans to terminate the project’s construction permit as one of his first acts once sworn into office this week.
