    I think it illustrates the deeply servile attitude of Americans towards their politicians

    i do not think that this assessment can be made…

    but the statistics can be compared to their own earlier stats, and that also paints a bleak picture for trump

      Does it? He’s been around the 40%-mark throughout most of his first term and the current term so far. I don’t think there is a reason to expect his approval rating to suddenly crater, unless a sex tape with him and Hilary Clinton were to be uncovered.

        yep… and the 40% were already the lowest rating in history iirc… so it just shows that he is doing worse now

          Definitely not the lowest in history - Nixon hit far lower ratings, despite doing a far better job and being hit by far fewer and far less severe scandals.
