Also, 48-41 in favor of impeachment.  Brutal.

Devastating.

People are now less willing to admit that the voted for President Trump, a sign that people tend to forget their poor decisions on political issues.  Biden, Sanders, and Warren all crush the President in voting preferences in 2020; Franken and Booker do well. Trump loses to a movie star of action pictures... a black man with no political experience. (Of course, someone has already shown that being black is not an absolute bar to being President).

By 8%, people now would rather that Hillary Clinton were President. Obama 'edges' him out 55-37, with only 6% unsure.

People want the President to resign  if it can be shown that he or his staff got political aid in the 2016 election. A majority of Americans do not think the Russian connection is fake news. A near-majority of Americans consider the firing of James Comey inapt even if they didn't like him. 

Damage goes beyond the Presidency.  Congress as a whole has a 15% approval rating, Senator Mitch McConnell has a 21% approval rating, and Paul Ryan has a 25% approval rating.  Some things that should trouble Republicans; 55% of voters are very excited about voting in 2018  and 18% are 'somewhat excited. Democrats have an 11%  edge in the general ballot for Congress, which would translate into a Democratic majority in the House, at the least.

A plurality wants the President impeached.

The 48-41 is especially rough as is the Congressional ballot. It isn't sustainable on either front.

These are the worst numbers Trump has had in what has typically been his best poll. Also this poll is only post Comey firing, as it was taken before the events of Monday and Tuesday.

FiveThirtyEight's aggregate polling numbers:

40% Approve
54% Disapprove

Highest disapprove number by their measurement ever; approval is only 0.1 points above its record low (April 3).

[BlueSwan]

Still shockingly high approval numbers. There really are no excuses for still "approving" of this president.

[pbrower2a]

Support for any politician generally has some floor of partisan loyalty and ideological blindness. Accepting that approval and disapproval are mirror images around 50% (maybe just the high 40s except at election time), I;m guessing that one can more easily go from 49% approval to 44% approval than from 39% approval to 34% approval. Politicians who got wiped out in re-election bids  often have solid support at the mid-thirties, as with Blanche Lincoln and Tom Corbett.  That's obviously not enough.

Richard Nixon's lowest all-time Gallup approval rating was 24% in the summer of 1974, shortly before his resignation. George W. Bush had a similar all-time low in 2008.

So, I'd be very surprised if Trump falls below that line. We have to assume that a quarter of the electorate will always stick with him, no matter what happens. I'd say when he hits 30% he'll be in real trouble.

But Nixon and Bush were amazing presidents compared to Trump. Different leagues really. Trump is by far the most deplorable leader of a western democratic country post WWII. It's not close.

[BlueSwan]

Fivethirtyeight has Trump at 39,7% right now. His lowest yet. Still about 39,7 percentage points too high.

Why?

Because that statement is wrong. Trump is actually the worst leader of a Western democratic country since the start of Reconstruction.

To be worse one would have to be one of the Commies who transformed incipient democracies into tyrannies, like Bierut, Gottwald, or Rakosi.
