I'd say he is very polarizing and passion-stirring. Not so much more or less approved / disapproved as compared to other recent POTUSes (POTii? 
)
As I said...he stirs passions on BOTH sides. The change of House seats is in line with normal mid-term results and is probably healthy. I find the DEM pickups to be pretty schizophrenic: They won some seats with "military vets who vow to NOT support Pelosi because she is so far left" AND won some seats with "socialists who vow to not support Pelosi because she isn't left ENOUGH!"
The common thread is "not Trump". And, the common thread of the Senate REP wins is "not NOT Trump"
Passions are high

Democrats won ~60.5 million votes in the midterm compared to Trump’s 63 million in the 2016 general. For reference, the GOP picked up 63 seats in 2010 on 44.8 million votes and with a ~5.5% margin. However, GOP turnout was also high preventing this from being a totally unprecedented bloodbath.

Around 1% behind Obama in approval, about 3% behind him in disapproval. Trump found his floor earlier, but has been there for a long time whereas Obama’s decline was more gradual.
