The latest poll numbers for President Trump are out and they're just as low as many of us always hoped they'd be.

According to the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll, Trump is down to a 36 percent approval rating after his first six months in office. That's the lowest recorded approval rating of any president in the past 70 years.

Is there anything or anyone more unpopular the president? Who is willing to sit next to him on the bus?

CARD ID: 238170

Trump, of course, called the record low approval rating simultaneously "not bad" and likely "inaccurate."

But his rating is so low that more Americans approve of certain brands of cat litter -- one of the most scorned, underperforming sanitation products in the universe -- than the president.

Let's compare and contrast.

1. Precious Cat Ultra Premium Cat Litter: 90% approval rating

CARD ID: 238171

It might seem a little unfair to compare Trump with Precious Cat's "Ultra Premium" line but come on: this is litter. He should at least be competing with something labeled "premium clumps."

2. Fresh Step Multi-Cat Scented Scoopable Cat Litter: 85% approval rating

CARD ID: 238173

Donald Trump is supposed to be a communications genius, but he's losing to Fresh Step? They had some great commercials in '00s, sure, but they weren't *that* good.

3. Fresh Step Lightweight Extreme with Febreze Freshness: 60% approval rating

Trump is losing to Lightweight extreme? That's one of the least popular cat litters in the biz right now. Jared, come fix this.

4. Arm & Hammer Cat Litter Deodorizer Powder: 85% approval rating

Arm & Hammer is a beast, so it's no surprise that he's losing to one of their deodorizers. There are actually many Americans who would prefer to have this toxic-to-humans deodorizer as president.

5. Arm & Hammer Ultra Last Clumping Litter for Cats: 65% approval rating

President Trump's approval ratings are lower than a value size box of cat litter you can buy from Walmart. What if they go any lower? What will happen?

Vote Arm & Hammer Ultra Last Clumping Litter for president, 2020!
