Donald Trump: polls of approval and favorability
Gallup approval today (5-20):

37% approve, 56% disapprove.

Late in March he had approval ratings just below this, reaching 35% on March 28.

At this point, I question whether Trump support can get much lower. Figuring that 37% is a good estimate of how well he would fare in match-ups against Democratic challengers of average abilities as campaigners against him about three years from now at the start of the campaign season, and adding 6% on the assumption that he would be about as effective as the usual incumbent running for re-election in 'normal' times -- that is, no sudden economic downturn or international kerfluffle.

Appreciably beyond the 35% range of approval on the downside, people who support him might even be unable to see anything wrong with such wrongdoi9ng as leaking classified data or with obstruction of justice so long as their Leader does it, barring something personally catastrophic.
