And? Nixon maintained 25-30% support up until his resignation. I'll never understand what leftists expect to see from the American people

Nothing, and I'm sorry if my remarks may have sounded offensive to people in the US. It's just weird from a European perspective, where an approval between 30 and 40% would make most of our governments very happy. A while back, I've read an article on the Obama-Keyes race for the Illinois senate race, saying that 25-ish% is the lowest approval rate you can ever get in the US based on the fact that Keyes (who lost in a landslide but still got about 25% of the votes against Obama) was: a. black (so racism wasn't a factor) b. not from Illinois (so that wasn't a factor either) c. by all accounts, very unlikable and a complete lunatic Sorry the piece I was referring to was much deeper but I can't find it again, now.... If they are right, this IS basically already rock bottom for Trump in terms of approval.
