Barack Obama ordered Trump Tower offices to be wiretapped.

The House and Senate are investigat­ing both allegation­s.

Obama’s approval ratings hovered in the low-60% range during his first two months in office, according to Gallup.

Even former President George W. Bush saw his Gallup job numbers average in the mid-50% range.

At the same time, Trump’s disapprova­l jumped from 56% to 59% in the same period of time, Gallup found.

That put Trump below Obama’s lowest-ever approval of 38% and President Bill Clinton’s worst of 37%.

Even Trump’s most ardent backers are losing patience with the young administra­tion.

The new Morning Consult/Politico poll found that 81% of Republican voters support Trump — down from 88% earlier this month.

The support from Americans who cast their votes for Trump also dropped — from 92% to 84%, the poll found.

Only 26% said they are “very confident” in Trump’s ability to serve as commander-in-chief, the survey found.

Another 21% would only say they are “somewhat confident” in Trump. Another 13% are “not too confident,” while 36% aren’t “at all” confident.

Trump is still holding strong with his base, however, compared with Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

The poll found that only 64% of GOP voters have a positive view of Ryan, while a puny 40% are impressed with McConnell.

Some 2,000 registered voters from across the country were surveyed on March 24-25, according to Morning Consult. The survey has a margin of error of two percentage points.
