Truman's 22% remains the nadir as Gallup ends presidential approval tracking
Gallup said it will stop publishing presidential approval ratings after almost 90 years, citing a shift in its public-research focus. The lowest rating on record is Harry S. Truman's 22% in February 1952, amid Korea, labor unrest, and government corruption concerns. The piece also notes that Donald Trump, while not the lowest, is the first president to dip below 50% in his first term and during the early part of his second term.
