That was W's approval when he left office. He did have a lower approval rating in 2008 before rebounding. Nixon had an even lower approval right before resigning. W also had the highest approval, right after 9/11.

The aftermath of lying us into a second forever war was two Obama terms and a GOP so damaged that Donald got the Republican nomination in 2016. The grifter POTUS has literally never had approval at 50%. Not once. I once thought a satirical protest candidate would have a better chance to be elected than the tangerine toddler. The joke was on sane Americans everywhere.
