President Donald Trump’s approval rating reached a new low in Gallup’s daily polling average Monday.

According to Gallup, 36 percent of respondents to its daily polls approved of Trump’s performance in office, while 57 percent disapproved.

Gallup arrives at its approval numbers by averaging the previous three days of polling. Monday's numbers reflect responses from March 24-26, during and following the surprising failure of Republicans’ Obamacare replacement plan on Friday.

Trump’s Gallup approval is now lower than former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton's approval numbers were at any point in their presidencies, according to an analysis by Gallup's editor-in-chief. Obama reached a low of 38 percent in 2011 and 2014. Former President Bill Clinton reached a low of 37 percent in 1993. Former President George W. Bush reached his low, 25 percent, in October 2008.

2. It is a race to the bottom

3. "Former President George W. Bush reached his low, 25%, in October 2008"

Proof that no matter how catastrophic the mistake, there'll always be 25% of voters who are totally impervious.

4. This is beautiful. Just gorgeous. He is in great position to win last place fastly!

[George II]

5. bush set a difficult level to reach, think trump can "win" the honor of the worst? In weeks perhaps?

[BumRushDaShow]

Bigly.

Amazing that he has yet to get near 50% approval.

[Coventina]

9. The FReaks like to quote Rasmussen for better numbers. A week ago they said "Almost 50% approve"

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows that 49% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trump’s job performance. Fifty-one percent (51%) disapprove.

The latest figures include 35% who Strongly Approve of the way Trump is performing and 42% who Strongly Disapprove. This gives him a Presidential Approval Index rating of -7.

The latest Mar. 27 polls are not looking good for him even there. He's now down to -16.

10. I want Congress to be more popular than Trump.

Considering what Congress's approval rating is... he has a way to go.

But it is in the right direction.

[StevieM]

11. That includes Friday polling. His numbers probably started tanking in Saturday. So by tomorrow

the numbers will probably be down to 34 percent.

[BootinUp]

12. 36% is still ridiculously high for this buffoon. nt

[LenaBaby61]

13. With putin's puppet's numbers cratering ....

How long will it be before he and pres. bannon start a war with "somebody" so people will rally around him, and forget all about investigating his ruskie ties?

[ay.ayron]

14. Was Bush's 25% approval rating the lowest ever?

Im genuinely curious.

[Locutusofborg]

15. No

Harry Truman had the all time lowest job approval rating at 22% the week of 11/16/51 and again the week of 2/14/52.

[BuddyCa]

17. he will look back on these numbers

and think, those were the good times.

[Portland_Anni]

18. Drumpf is someone I've never remotely liked.

Of course, now he absolutely disgusts me. No way that narcissitic liar should be President. I hope the system will work as designed and expel him via empeachment.
