Trump Approval in low to mid-30s [View all]

The 4 most recent polls have Trump's approval number ranging from 32% to 36%. To those who say they can't believe it's that high, let me remind you that only 4 times in the past 80 years has a President been in the 20s. Truman, during the red scare in 1952. Nixon, during Watergate in 1974. Carter, during the fuel crisis in 1978. And Bush Jr. during the Great Recission in 2008.

The low 30's are only 3 or 4 points away from the 20s. That's really, really low for a President who is just down to his cult followers.
