He is literally the least popular president in the history of polling. His popularity highs are abysmal. https://ropercenter.cornell.edu/presidential-approval/

  It took a second to see what you were referring to. He has never had an approval rating above 50%. Even Joe Biden, whom Republicans utterly despised and Democrats never loved, got over 60%. Though that's a bit misleading. It was all downhill from there. People thought he handled COVID pretty well at the beginning, but once the lockdowns started to ease, he fell down into basically the same range Trump is now. He left with a 38% approval rating, same as Trump today. Never getting above 50% certainly does seem to place Trump in a special category of dislike. But he does at least have some support -- the lowest approval rating ever was for Bush 43 at 19% (leading to speculative articles about what that 19% could possibly find to like).
