It’s a bullshit poll. 10% selected “I don’t know.”
He’s underwater at 54.6% unfavorable on YouGov as of five days ago.

He’s 59% unfavorable on Pew Research Center as of three days ago.

I mean, these numbers are still crazy low relatively speaking.
They’re the lowest in ~~presidential history~~ 70 years. Don’t forget, they’re not exclusively asking informed people.
No they're not lol. The lowest in the first 100 days maybe. Don't just believe headlines.
Have a look at Truman's approval numbers towards the end of his term.
Don't bring facts to an opinion fight.
George W. Bush had the highest disapproval with 71% on 10/10/2028.
Harry Truman had the lowest approval, hitting 22% in 1951 and again in 1952. From secondary source Wikipedia (it's the internet; how hard do you want me to work?).
The 52% AP-NORC result has a margin of error of 3.9%. That puts the 54.6% YouGov poll squarely within it. Pew Research was April 7-14 and doesn't have a margin on its first page, so I didn't look further.
Not sure why you don't think the YouGov poll is also bullshit since it is lower than Pew.
Yougov is a private company based out of England and founded by rich right wingers. They exist to profit from and meddle in American politics.
Fair point. They both typically use smaller sample sizes than Pew or Reuters/Ipsos as well.
