United States President Donald Trump has never had it worse in the Oval Office.
On 18 March 2017, his approval ratings were at a net -21, worse than any day since he took office on 20 January.
It is the latest in a tawdry string of polling ratings from Gallup - the president's average net approval stands at a lethargic -9.85.
In fact, Donald Trump has only been in positive figures for two days, when he stood at +1 on 24 and 25 January.
For perspective Barack Obama averaged a +2.36 rating for his presidency, based on Gallup weekly polls.
Moreover at this point in his presidency Obama was enjoying a popularity honeymoon.
The comparison makes from grim reading for the Trump administration:
Trump is in his honeymoon.
The worst is probably yet to come.
