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.
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.
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.
Do these mean anything compared between countries?
Not really, no, considering the systems aren’t a match either.
They mean whatever you want them to mean.

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

yep… and the 40% were already the lowest rating in history iirc… so it just shows that he is doing worse now

but there are still two more years of war against iran under trump which will undoubtedly will push his approval even lower
