Trump's approval rating has fallen to 33-37% across multiple April 2026 polls—a genuine second-term low driven by economic dissatisfaction and opposition to the Iran war. The headline's 'Nixon resignation territory' framing is partially accurate but misleading: Trump's overall approval remains well above Nixon's 24% pre-resignation level, though his approval among independent voters (-45 points) does exceed Nixon's -36 point low at a comparable stage. The post omits this crucial distinction, making the comparison sound more dire than the underlying data supports.
