Trump’s job approval rating is low by historical standards

President Trump's job approval rating is reported at 34%, which is lower than most recent presidents at similar stages, featuring a partisan gap of 78 percentage points. Conversely, a Marquette Law School Poll indicates his approval rating has risen by two points to 40% ahead of the midterms.
