    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
