In a string of tweets Tuesday, historian and author Kevin Kruse noted the significance of the president reaching a nearly 60 percent disapproval rating, the lowest its been since Trump took office. Kruse said that while Trump is only four months into his presidency, his disapproval rating is already higher than those recorded for his modern predecessors.
The four modern presidents who *did* hit the 60% disapproval mark only did so well into their presidencies, after serious crisis or scandal, Kruse wrote. Four presidents who included George W. Bush, George H. W. Bush, Richard Nixon and Harry S. Truman only saw disapproval ratings of 60 percent between 1200-2200 days into their presidencies, respectively. As Kruse pointed out, Trump did it in just 143 days.
Trumps nearly 60 percent disapproval rating, Kruse said, is higher than those ever recorded by Gallup for Franklin D. Roosevelt, Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, Gerald R. Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama.
