We are at a typical modern presidential low, but not at a Trump low.
Biden and Obama fell to 39% also, though later in their tenure. I believe Trump's low in his first term was around 34%.
At 34% popularity, Trump basically tied Biden in his next election. The good news is that Trump lost the midterm in his first tenure, but any election where he is on the ticket, despite where his popularity is, has been a toss-up.
Amy Coney Barrett was coy when talking about the legality of a Trump 3rd term.
When asked if the 22nd Amendment's two-term limit is "cut and dry," she replied, "That's what the amendment says, right? After FDR had four terms, that's what that amendment says".
