    Even single digits is too fucking high. Having 2-3 out of 10 people supporting him is just crazy.

      Not in a historical context.

      Approval ratings in the 20’s have happened, but are incredibly rare. Truman, Nixon, and HW are the only ones who have had sustained breaches into the 20’s. And honestly, the science of polling is better now than its ever been. And those breaches also happened late into their terms.

      So its pretty exceptional to be in the high 20’s. If its sustained over multiple polls, obviously thats confirmation.
