They mean whatever you want them to mean.
Obviously, a different electoral system will affect the approval rating of politicians. Nevertheless, I think it illustrates the deeply servile attitude of Americans towards their politicians, especially considering none of the other examples have had scandals anything like the 100th-worst scandal of Trump, and while I don't agree with the politics of any of the others, one could at least make the case they were trying to run the country.
i do not think that this assessment can be made...
but the statistics can be compared to their own earlier stats, and that also paints a bleak picture for trump
Does it? He's been around the 40%-mark throughout most of his first term and the current term so far. I don't think there is a reason to expect his approval rating to suddenly crater, unless a sex tape with him and Hilary Clinton were to be uncovered.
yep.. and the 40% were already the lowest rating in history iirc... so it just shows that he is doing worse now
Definitely not the lowest in history - Nixon hit far lower ratings, despite doing a far better job and being hit by far fewer and far less severe scandals.
