    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.

        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.
