I think Trump was just handed the election (generation, democratic, conservative)

Do you and your two acquaintances want to tell me how Trump would've stopped the attack of a natural born citizens who legally can't be restricted from buying weapons?
Easy answer. By not letting his radical parents come to the USA in the first place. It's clear he is a product of his upbringing.
Obama & Hillary want to let 100s of 1000s of more people come into the USA from the destruction they created in the first place. It's lunacy at best.
I hope you're right. The good thing is the attack happened so far out from the election but I think this definitely gives ammo to Trump's campaign.
Never underestimate how easily scared and duped the average white middle class voter can become. I'm not kidding, either. Their lives are so boring, so stagnant, they are easily emotionally manipulated
I am an 'average white middle class voter' and I will never vote for Trump; nor does anything he says or does make me feel safer.

Guess what? Hillary said it. Wow - I guess the problems are all solved now.

City Data is not the only place that you see Trump supporters, Bernie supporters, and rarely, Hillary supporters. You are severely misinformed about just how many are voting for Trump - including gays, Hispanics, blacks, and women...since liberals insist on putting labels on everyone. Hillary is not going to win. Get used to it.
What his first response was to make the deaths of 50 Americans all about HIM. Narcissistic FOOL.

Omar Mir Seddique Mateen (couldn't possibly have terrorist ties with a name like that)
"The FBI first became aware of Mateen in 2013 when he made inflammatory comments to co-workers alleging possible terrorist ties," Hopper said. The investigation was closed, Hopper said, after investigators "were unable to verify the substance of his comments."
In 2014, the FBI interviewed Mateen again over possible connections with an American suicide bomber. "We determined that contact was minimal and did not constitute a substantive relationship or threat at that time," Hopper said.
Lower than Bush 41... Bush 43, Reagan, Clinton, Ford, Nixon... etc... etc...
... everybody but Carter.

So what's your point? Even at 50% Obama is still below half the Presidents on that list.
Does anyone care that W was 34%? I sure don't... but since you wanna talk lows and highs I'll just throw out there that W was at 92% following 9/11... which was also his fault right? Even when the terrorists were taking their flight training in 1999 while he was governor of Texas.
You posted a link for approval ratings and now want to change it to highs and lows or the final ratings.
Do whatever you want to do... still doesn't change the fact that when you look at AVERAGE (that would be from beginning of term to end) Obama is still the 2nd lowest rated President in the last 60 years... ahead of only Jimmy Carter.
... and yes I will most definitely state tuned for further developments. Obama's legacy is ISIS.
1. People have short memories. In three-four months, many would forget about this tragedy. Harsh, but it is true.
2 Most people have already made up their minds.
I think maybe some people (especially the independent) would vote for Trump because of this, but this is only because the independent are conservative/republican leaning. Those liberal/Democrat leaning independents still won't change their minds.
Lower than Bush 41... Bush 43, Reagan, Clinton, Ford, Nixon... etc... etc...

I am delighted to see you confirm the correlation between these polls and Presidential performance. It's 53% for Obama now. Let's people share your opinion on November 8th.
Do you seriously think a Lesbian is going to vote for Trump after what he said about STRAIGHT women????? Imagine what he thinks about THEM?
OP said gays.

If gays care about their community, they have no other choice than Trump. Hillary is as big a Muslim extremist apologist and protector of these evil people as Obama.
Trump has the male vote... Hillary has the female vote.
OP didn't say lesbians. If he had it would have been obvious.
I didn't seriously think about anything other than what I read.

I haven't confirmed anything. I posted links and numbers showing Obama is the 2nd lowest rated President when you look at average approval ratings over the last 60 years.
Please continue to hump the leg of the Democratic agenda all the way till November 8th while telling yourself he's the greatest President ever with his current 53% approval rating.
