Wtf is this even talking about? 41% approval isn't even close to the lowest a president has ever had for a term average, let alone a single day.
I wouldn't be surprised if this is the most divisive president in history with the delta of approval from the left and right being so starkly contrasted, but 41% isn't even that low.
Nixon's second term approval was 34.4%
Bush jr's approval rating was 36.5% in his second term.
In terms of historical low water mark points:
- Clinton got as low as 37%
- Biden got as low as 36%
- Dumpy has gotten as low as 34%
- Carter got 28%
- Bush Jr was down to 25%
- Nixon got down to 24%
- Truman got down to 22%.
I'm sure we'll be hearing a thoughtful introspective acknowledgement prompted by this information soon and not some all caps 'FAKE NEWS!1!1' proclamation.
As far as I know he's not trying to be the worst president of the United states of America but the whole known universe and that's really something special. He gotta be really special to achieve that and that's what he's going to tell to himself and his followers.
How can you drop lower than yourself?
I am so late to the party with this one. Nixon lost that title.
And he's got a LONG way to go still. (down)
Yeah, I don't see him gaining approval at any point, so this is his lowest so far.
