for a new president and by far! Actually ONE person on CNN the other day noted that it took every other president in the modern era a year or more to hit approval numbers below 50% (I believe the only exception is Clinton, who dipped below 50% after about 160 days -- still almost six months).

Bush I and II, Obama, Reagan, Carter -- it was at least a year before they dipped below 50%. Trump's numbers are horrible, AND they point to the extreme instability the country is experiencing right now.
