Multiple sources report Trump's approval rating at 36%. One source explicitly states approval is 36% and disapproval is 60%, which creates a 24-point gap; however, another source mentions a 36% approval rating and 63% disapproval (a 27-point gap). While the '36 points underwater' specific math isn't explicitly summed in the snippets, the 36% approval figure is consistently reported across multiple independent sources (Forbes, and another news snippet).
