Trump is so bad, we could and should be 20 or 30 points ahead, but are polling at the lowest level for 35 years. [View all]

Driving the news: Trump's job approval rating in the new poll (47%) matches his all-time highs in NBC News polling throughout his political career (37% "strongly approve," 10% "somewhat approve&quot .

1,000 registered voters were polled March 7-11, with a margin of error of ±3.1%.
The other side: The Democratic Party reached an all-time low in popularity in NBC polling dating back to 1990.

A net 27% of those polled said they have positive views of the party (20% positive and 7% very positive).
