Donald Trump's disapproval rating has climbed to 63 per cent in the United States, according to new Gallup polling released this week, putting the President at a similar stage of his time in office as Richard Nixon's Watergate-era low point.
Gallup compared Trump's numbers with those of the previous 12 Presidents at roughly day 491 of their Presidencies. That is where Trump now sits in his second term. Nixon's disapproval stood at the same 63 per cent around the period when the Watergate scandal was consuming his administration.
