The popularity of American presidents goes up and down with what happens during their term (and how they deal with it). For instance, Jimmy Carter started as a very popular president, but gas prices and the Iran hostage situation took their toll. And George W. Bush started with very tenuous approval, but 9/11 and his handling of it made him very popular (at least for a while -- before the recession tanked his approval).
But here's an interesting fact. Every modern president (those holding office since World War II) has enjoyed majority job approval at some point of his presidency. That is, every president but one -- Donald Trump. Donald Trump has never enjoyed a single day of majority job approval from the public. He is, to put it bluntly, the most unpopular of all the modern presidents.
