From 1995 to 2001, Bill Clinton never got below 50 percent in the polls. Not even during Lewinsky.
Bush 41 got 90 percent in March 1991.
Bush 43 got 90 percent in September 2001.

Will it happen again, or are we too polarized?

I hate these "will we ever" questions. "Ever" is a very long time.

Ever? Probably. In the current political climate? Doubtful.

It would need a huge crisis that terrifies the nation and forces people to put partisanship aside.

The big unknown is whether the President could have gotten such a bump in their approval when Covid hit in 2020. Did Trump's response undermine confidence or could he never have gotten credit from Democrats? Most Governors got a bump and most international leaders did, but these positions are still much less partisan than presidential elections in the US are.
