The last time his approval rate had dropped by less than 40%, that was just a few weeks ago, but his disapproval has not been equal to or greater than 60% since the Last year, in December 2017, when the guilty plea of his former national security advisor, Michael Flynn, and his support for Alabama's Senate candidate, Roy Moore (accused of misconduct sexual abuse), made the headlines.
Trump's latest approval rate is down five percentage points from last week's Gallup poll and reflects a slight decrease in almost all demographic groups, but especially among 18-29 year olds from 35% approval of the president to 28%. The rating of disapproval has increased seven percentage points since last week.
The Gallup polls, conducted weekly, reflect a greater fluctuation in Trump's approval, which has often fluctuated between 35% and 45% since he took office.
At this point in his presidency, right after his party also lost control of the House of Representatives, Barack Obama had obtained a 45% approval rate, which is close to the average for him. The Obama approval rate has never been less than 40% in Gallup polls. However, Trump is not the first president to have such low ratings. George W. Bush reached 31% the year after Hurricane Katrina. At its highest level, however, his disapproval rating was 65%, five points higher than Trump's.
