There is only one other president that has had lower ratings at this time in his administration. That was Trump himself.
Source, please? Including the actual numbers you’re looking at? Because the current numbers for Trump and the historical data I’m looking at don’t bear your claim out.
I've seen reports that only 3% of those surveyed are happy with the information so far revealed. That's a jaw-dropping number in public polling.
3% is a "would you eat shit for breakfast?" level response.
I was skeptical of those numbers when I first saw them, and still am. I think the factor of raw partisanship would dictate that the number of respondents agreeing with a president on any issue would be at least about 15%.
Granted, this issue has pissed off his base more than others do, but still.
Almost no one is content with the amount the government has shared: Just 3% of Americans say they are satisfied with it. A sizable chunk of the public either says it doesn’t matter to them either way (29%) or that they haven’t heard enough about the case to say (17%).

The Wall Street Journal has published an article about Trump sending a bawdy letter to Epstein on his 50th birthday. Sorry about the Paywall. Secondary source here.
Trump's reaction. Not my words. I don't draw naked women. I am going to sue.
The alleged letter to Epstein was not published directly, just a report of the letter. Of note, Trump is not demanding the letter be published. Why not?

The only president with approval below Trump’s at this point in his presidency was Trump himself during his first term, at 38%. Bill Clinton’s approval rating in June 1993 was also close, at just 41%.
Notably, Real Clear Polling/Real Clear Politics doesn’t specifically say where it got that 41% number for Bill Clinton, but elsewhere in the article, they frequently refer to Gallup, noting that “[t]he longest-running presidential polling firm in the United States is Gallup, which has conducted polls since the 1940 presidential election and consistent approval rating polls since Harry Truman.” (They also refer at least once to an Economist/YouGov poll, but YouGov hadn’t yet been founded in 1993.)
However, Gallup says Bill Clinton’s approval rating in June, 1993, was 37%, not 41% as reported by RCP. That’s one percentage point lower than Trump’s 38% in his first term, and his 40% in June of this year. I’m going to go with what Gallup itself says it’s polling found, rather than relying on what RCP reports.

Anything that incriminates Democrats or other enemies without incriminating him or his allies, I would have thought,
