(From the website of renown polling expert Nate Silver)
President Trump reached a new low on FiveThirtyEights job-approval tracker this week, when his approval rating hit 41.3 percent. Its a low for Trump, but how good or bad is a 41 percent approval rating two months into a presidents tenure in historical terms? To help put Trumps ratings in perspective, weve added a new section to our tracker: Charts for each of the previous 12 presidents, showing approval, disapproval and net approval ratings compared with Trumps at the same point in their presidencies.

So whats the answer to our opening question? Trumps current rating is a low not just for Trumps presidency so far, but also for this point in any recent presidency. Were on day 69 of the Trump administration, and his net approval rating -11.1 is by far the lowest of any of the past 13 presidents at this point.
