36
Today, Donald Trump hit 36% approval in the always Republican leaning Gallup poll. I mention this, because this is lower than the lowest ever recorded by either Barack Obama or Bill Clinton, despite the multi-hundred-million dollar smear campaigns conducted against them for years. And it only took him two months.
He's got a long way to go, however, before he hits the 25% approval rating recorded by George W. Bush, after he destroyed the American economy. Well, give him a chance. He's working on it.

Just to be clear about my comment about Gallup being Republican leaning. Gallup, under its founder George Gallup Sr, was the first polling organization to really gain national prominence, and once had a reputation as highly reliable. Unfortunately, when Gallup died, his company was inherited by his son, George Gallup Jr, who was a hard core right wing evangelical Christian, who made no secret about his intent to use the organization to advance his political/religious agenda.

On the other hand, in the last sixteen years, the means the Republicans will use to hang on to power have grown considerably. I really do believe that it will be virtually impossible to sever that 25% or 27% of dead end fascists from Trump, but consider this: Even the most cynical among us (a group in which I of course include you and me) could not have foreseen what has happened in the last two months. We just don't know what is right around the corner.
