Ah the Coriolis Effect --- one wonders if when the time comes, Jaïr Bolsonaro's poll numbers will circle the opposite way.... but we're getting ahead of ourselves......
Doom-all Rump's approval/disapproval ratings, which have been remarkably consistent for two years as hovering around 40% approve/50+% disapprove, are, to quote the Monty Python castle owner, sinking into the swamp.
Fivethirtyeight.com has been running a continuous analysis of all polls available for the duration, which can be seen here for latest updates. The aggregate graph on top (not postable here) says approval is still at 40% while disapproval is up to 55.2%, indicating disapproval is rising.
Scroll down on the same page and you can see several graphs comparing Rump to past POTUSes over the exact same time period of their presidencies (currently at 729 days). Rump is the solid green line (if Approval is selected) or solid red line (if disapproval is selected), offering a ready comparison with each POTUS at any point in time.
Perusing those graphs it becomes clear that Rump's disapproval is worse than George W. Bush's was at the time of the 2008 economic collapse; worse than Bill Clinton's was at the time of his impeachment hearings; worse than George H.W. Bush's was at the time he reneged on 'no new taxes'; worse than Reagan's was at the time of Iran Contra; worse than Jimmy Carter's was at any point of the Iran hostages or the energy crisis; worse than Gerald Ford's was during his pardon of Richard Nixon and "whip inflation now"; worse than Richard Nixon's was even at the point where he resigned; and worse than LBJ's was at any point of prosecuting the Vietnam war. Indeed Rump's disapproval mark has been worse than any POTUS listed at any point at all.
Ford, Carter and the Bushes' legacies got defeated handily; Nixon resigned in disgrace; and LBJ was so continually and bitterly protested that he didn't even run for re-election.
And Rump has so far topped them all.
"I will be the greatest despised President that god ever created. I tell you that".
It just shows how skewed the rhetoric on this board is compared to the real world. Doesn't it.
