    Just curious, are there any US presidents or any other actually democratically elected non- dictator leaders who rate lower than Trump?

      Yes. Nixon was the only President to poll lower than Trump’s current rating since gallop polls began. Trump’s exit poll tied G.W. Bush and Carter, and was higher than both Nixon and Truman.

      There are also eight national leaders in office that currently poll lower than Trump in favorability.

      Cyril Ramaphosa (South Africa) 26%

      Jonas Gahr Store (Norway) 26%

      Olaf Scholz (Germany) 25%

      Rishi Sunak (United Kingdom) 25%

      Emmanuel Macron (France) 21%

        Those are polling numbers within the country.

        I’m asking about the poll in the post. Which is confident about decisions abroad. I could imagine Bush Jr fairing worse since he started 2 wars.

        I can’t imagine Nixon would fair as worse, even with Vietnam in the mix, he at least helped China and the environment.
