... Mr Trump went into office with about 45 per cent of Americans approving of him as president.

Only two other presidents come close to having approval ratings so low at the beginning of their presidency — Ronald Reagan with 51 per cent in 1981 and George W Bush with 46 per cent in 2001.

By the end of the opening acts of their presidencies, George W Bush's approval had lifted to 58 per cent and Ronald Reagan's to 68 per cent, while Mr Trump's approval has fallen slightly to 42 per cent.

But no other president comes close to Mr Trump for disapproval — his disapproval rating of 41 per cent on taking office is a full 23 percentage points higher than his nearest rival, Mr Clinton, on a disapproval rating of 18 per cent ...

Some nice graphics, showing Gerald Ford above water by only 10% after 100 days and our current rash now below water by 10%

1. He's an illegitimate president, who is an agent of Russia.

I wish the MSM would stop ignoring the elephant in the room. It's getting more disgusting by the day.

2. No, Lincoln or James Buchanan are worse.

While we view Lincoln favorably today, lets not forget that HALF the country hated him! Buchanan's ineptitude greased the skids for civil war. Hoover was also astoundingly unpopular in his time.

As bad as Trump is, HE IS STILL UNTESTED. He has faced no significant crisis not of his own making. Give him time. He certainly has the potential to top this list.

4. Clinton had ran against two people who got more than 10% of the votes in the GE too IIRC

6. YES

and I have to say, I was absolutely disgusted by George W. Bush but even he did not joke about sexual assault

Bush made me very angry, but Twitler and his fucked up supporters truly make me SICK
