The New York Times average of polls, which found him at 52% approval on inauguration day, had him at 51% disapproval on Wednesday. That collapse is less a problem for Trump specifically – assuming, perhaps optimistically, that he won’t appear on a ballot again – than it is for the Republican party, which will have to answer for the mess he’s made in next year’s midterms and beyond.
