Trump currently has a 38.6 percent average approval rating, according to statistics site 538, compared to a 55.7 disapproval rating. Clinton’s approval rating fell to 37.8 percent at day 138 of his presidency in 1993.
Clinton had a career-high approval rating of 60 percent only 40 days into his tenure in the White House, and Clinton’s fall to 37.8 percent is much steeper than Trump’s fall from a career-high of 47.8 percent.
The analysis conducted by statistics site 538 followed multiple approval rating polls, including the Real Clear Average, Gallup, and the historically right-leaning Rasmussen Reports polls.
Clinton fared slightly better when just the Gallup poll is considered, but still only tied the current president at 37 percent.
