Wtf is this even talking about? 41% approval isn't even close to the lowest a president has ever had for a term average, let alone a single day.

I wouldn't be surprised if this is the most divisive president in history with the delta of approval from the left and right being so starkly contrasted, but 41% isn't even that low.

Nixon's second term approval was 34.4%

Bush jr's approval rating was 36.5% in his second term.

In terms of historical low water mark points:

Clinton got as low as 37%
Biden got as low as 36%
Dumpy has gotten as low as 34%
Carter got 28%
Bush Jr was down to 25%
Nixon got down to 24%
Truman got down to 22%.
