The poll's revelations on Tuesday showed a significant drop from the 45 per cent approval rating that Trump had in March, shortly after taking office. It marks the worst approval rating in a December of any elected president's first year in the White House by a wide margin and only the second time since the dawn of modern polling that a president's approval rating sank under 50 per cent at this point. George W. Bush ended his first calendar year at 86 per cent approval, John F. Kennedy hit 77 per cent, George H.W. Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama all finished their first calendar year with approval ratings in the mid-to-high 50s. Ronald Reagan, previously holder of the worst approval rating in December of a first year in the White House, finished his first calendar year at 49 per cent.
