Claim that Trump has lowest approval ever is false; Truman’s 22% remains the modern low. Democratic Party favorability drops to 32%

by

No, the claim isn’t accurate. Lowest historical presidential approval was Truman at 22% (Gallup, 1952). Trump’s current job approval averages ~40% approve / ~56% disapprove (RCP, NYT, Pew, WaPo-ABC as of Feb 23-24 2026).

Dem Party favorability: 32% favorable / 58% unfavorable (Civiqs, Feb 19 2026).
