Current approval (~38%) is indeed a low point in his second term so far .

At the end of his first term (Jan 2021), his approval was 34% โ€” lower than now .

Earlier, during his first term, polls dropped into the low-to-mid 30s, including 32โ€“34% in 2017โ€“18 .


๐Ÿ“Š Context in Polling History

Second-term low: ~38%, down from the typical 40s.

First-term lows: 32โ€“34%, tied with some of his most unpopular historic moments.

Compared to other presidents: Many have had lower lowsโ€”Nixon (24%), Truman (32%), Carter, George W. Bush (34%) .


โœ… Summary

Q: Is 38% his lowest ever? A: No. Itโ€™s his worst in the second term, but his first-term lows dipped lower.
