    Better provocative headlines:

    “Trump approval still at 39% despite months of controversies”

    “39% of US citizens unaware of fall of nation”

      39% Nazis willing to go down with the ship just to have their hate validated. Not a very catchy headline, I’ll admit.

      Nixon was at 31% when he resigned. Dubya also hit the low thirties, but he didn’t resign.

        Nixon didnt have the right wing propganda juggernaut Trump does.

        Dubya i think only fell that low when the floor fell out of the housing? Market or the dotcom bubble? Fuck i dont remember but it was in like 07-08 so doubtful he would have resigned

          I think Katrina didn’t help W. Neither did seeing the obvious failure of the second invasion of Iraq. I think the economy doing a swan dive was the last straw.
