From the OP's linked article:
What's interesting is that Trump's March low was partly due to the actions of others and that were beyond Trump's ability to manage. As the head of the federal government, branch separation notwithstanding, Trump, like all presidents, will necessarily lose and gain approval points because of things other elected and appointed leaders do. That is what it is.
Trump's most recent approval ratings, however, don't have the same clear connection with the words and deeds of people who are not squarely serving him and and his ends. Accordingly, these most recent figures, more so than the low from March, must be construed to more accurately reflect how the citizenry currently rates his performance and character.
The latest polls of his approval rating have pretty much uniformly brought bad news for the president. Gallup pegged his approval at just 37 percent Friday, while 58 percent of Americans disapproved. That's not quite the all-time low for Trump in the Gallup tracking poll—he sunk to just 35 percent in late March when the GOP's first health care plan flopped before the House could even vote—but it's getting close and earlier this month the president had briefly risen back to 40 percent.
