From 6/26/2018:

‘In Gallup’s new weekly poll released Monday, Trump’s approval rating had cooled off to 41% while his disapproval shot up 5 percentage points – up to 55%. It’s easy to ascribe Trump’s approval fade to his disastrous past week in which he badly underestimated the damage done by his administration’s “zero-tolerance” policy at the border. Trump eventually flip-flopped on his insistence that an executive order wouldn’t solve the family separation crisis but, even then, legal and logistical questions remained.’

And we’ll likely see the same in the middle of 2026, just in time for midterms.
