Into a 2nd term.Nixon ended with 24% approval ...
Wage stagnation, the highest incarceration rate in the world, opioid abuse on a horrific scale, college debt, foreign wars without congressional approval, a war on drugs that kills more Americans than the drugs we're fighting, plummeting economic achievement among males, massive overdiagnosis of ADHD/ADD, the rise of mass shootings, overwhelming partisanship, pollution, a Veteran's Administration that hasn't been fixed decades after Gerald Ford said it was a huge problem, massive obesity rates, a depression pandemic, foreign meddling in our elections, congressional corruption and special interest legislation, and many, many more problems.
Nothing in that list that trump will bother with. We need a Democrat in office.
And according to Gulfman Obama was the worst President
Translated, that means you dont have a clue to what you are talking about.
You can only judge Trump on the basis of where he is today, however the future doesnt look promising at all.

Its not my statement, but give Trump a chance to fail even more
This ^ is the problem with the TDS sufferers. They would rather see Trump fail (and by extension Americans) just so they can say "We told you so" than see a Prosperous America. How sad.
Allies of Donald Trump have increasingly been pushing back on stories of his intense unpopularity.
Trump is falsely claiming that his approval rating is higher than Obama’s and Fox is thumping his seven-point increase in the past month. Even liberal outlets like New York magazine are reporting that Trump’s numbers are “on the rise.”
But Trump is benefitting from low expectations. Because he’s still the least popular president of all-time according to numbers tracked by data maven Nate Silver.
On Silver’s site FiveThirtyEight, you can see interactive graphs which track Trump’s approval rating against every president who’s served since the advent of modern polling. Currently, 53% of Americans disapprove of Trump, compared to just 40% who approve.
Those stats are drawn from several weighted polls and show that Trump has had a lower approval than any president, ever.
The only times Trump has been more popular than past presidents are during the first week of the George W. Bush presidency, 13 days in the middle of Bill Clinton’s first term and several months of Ford’s term in which the two anti-intellectual and scandal-ridden Republican’s numbers cross-cross often. In fact, Trump’s numbers track very closely to Ford’s numbers in the middle of his term.
Richard Nixon was never as unpopular as Trump is right now
Quite a list you put together there. I'm impressed.
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows that 51% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trump’s job performance. Forty-eight percent (48%) disapprove.

Daily Presidential Tracking Poll - Rasmussen Reports®
Not much different than what you did to Obama- my how times have changed.
Yeah, and two years later nobody would admit voting for him.Nixon won 49 states in 1972, including a whopping 60% of the popular vote (compared to 37 for McGovern). I think you underestimate how popular Nixon was.
Was there a poll like that?Yeah, and two years later nobody would admit voting for him.

President Trump is at 51%, right now; 5 points higher than Obama at the same point of his presidency.
Not according to DailyKOS and EVERYONE knows that it's only the ultra-left sources that are correct.
I remember that at the time. I'm sure one can document it somehow.Was there a poll like that?
The only phenomenon like that that I saw were references to polls in the decades after Kennedy's assassination in which far too many Americans claimed they voted for Kennedy over Nixon in 1960.
As opposed to those who cherry pick Trump's best poll, even though it's 8-10% higher than every single other one, and treat it like it's fact. Saying Trump's approval rating is 51% like it's gospel isn't any better than anything in the OP.

The source in the OP gave President Trump a 29% chance of winning. Sounds like some folks do their own cherry pickin'.
Cherrypicking at it best!
