re: I don't want to hear anymore BS about Trump's approval ratings when congress is below 15%

Trump however is actually more favorable than congress as a whole.

Yes he is. And I don't think he would get down to 15% even if he admitted to a slew of illegal things, including illegally helping the Russians launder money and hack the election for political favors.

Obviously none of that happened, but my point is that, most politicians, have a floor because they have some base of supporters that is unconditionally dedicated to the politicians themselves, with no sense or care for rationality.

Apparently the lowest approval rating in history was George W Bush, the month before the 2008 election. I mean that was when the Democrats were using him to make gains, and the Republicans were trying to distance themselves to limit those gains.

I'm actually surprised it was that high, because I don't know many, and I can't recall any, who were approving of him at that point, even Republicans. And I don't think (maybe I'm wrong) he had that same base that Trump has.
