As your link shows, by a hair, and more generally below, so "small solace" indeed.

Btw, George W. Bush at one point was 25 percent, and Reagan at 35 percent.

The difference is their points rose again.

As your link starts: "President Donald Trump is by no means popular—compared with his predecessors, his approval rating has been remarkably low during his time in the White House."

And they link to:

"Trump had the lowest approval rating of any president at the 100-day mark in the modern polling era and it has shown little sign of improvement. At this point in their first term, every president dating back to Eisenhower had a better approval rating. Here's where each stood at roughly this point in their first term, according to Gallup figures: President Barack Obama was at 64 percent, President George W. Bush was at 56 percent, President Bill Clinton was at 45 percent, President George H.W. Bush was at 63 percent, President Ronald Reagan was at 68 percent, President Jimmy Carter was at 64 percent, President Gerald Ford was at 42 percent, President Richard Nixon was at 62 percent, President Lyndon Johnson was at 75 percent, President John F. Kennedy was at 75 percent and Eisenhower was at 74 percent."

So no, I don't think anyone is going insane, except perhaps a frustrated White House desperate to sell the ridiculous narrative that they won by a landslide and to popular acclaim.

And a few die hard supporters anxious to believe it.

Sounds like another Trumpster who is desperate to continue in a mistaken belief that the illegitimate president is somehow worthy of the position. He's an idiot, a racist, who knows nothing about running the country. He's managed to make enemies of the people he should have worked hard to keep as allies, and instead maintains that Putin's an standup fellow. I can't think of one good thing this POS has accomplished since taking office.

DONALD TRUMP'S APPROVAL RATING IS BETTER THAN BILL CLINTON'S AT THIS POINT IN HIS FIRST TERM

Great again already

From the perspective of an impartial overseas observer, Trump appears to preach self-serving ideologies with a basis in right-leaning nationalism. As someone far brighter than most once said: nationalism is an infantile disease. It is the measles of mankind.

Railing against patriotism proves that you are the exact opposite of impartial

You are more of a fully indoctrinated far left useful idiot

I don't believe that I made any mention of patriotism. Unless one is to take to redefining the meaning of words, there is somewhat of a vast difference between patriotism and nationalism. Whereas patriotism denotes a love for one's country with emphasis on its set of values and beliefs. Nationalism is a belief centred around unity based on the constituent qualities of a cultural background such as heritage and language. It was Orwell who described nationalism is the worst enemy of peace. Nationalism is a feeling that one’s country is superior to another in all respects, while patriotism is more a feeling of admiration for a way of life. These concepts show that patriotism is passive by nature and nationalism more militant and aggressive.

On another note, why do you feel the need to get angry and lash out at those who disagree with you? Are you unable to get your point of view across without causing offence to those who don't see the world as you do? Or are you so unable to substantiate your point of view with logic a degree of self-control that you feel you must accuse other (who may even have been better educated and more well-read than yourself) of being "idiots"?
