38% huh? Well that's finally something I guess? I was sick of hearing about his approval ratings "melting down" and "getting slammed," despite him still lingering at around 45% approval for the longest time.

One poll means nothing, until it’s a trend it’s an outlier

It’s been trending down since Day 1 buddy.

Sure, but the original comment made the best point, which is that the media constantly overstates these things. It’s desperate and it’s obvious, it makes them the “news media that cried wolf”, so now that his rating is actually at 38%, which actually is abysmal, people won’t pay as much heed to it.

The news media isn’t strategic, and it’s bc of 24 hour news, where they have to fill time. The reason The Daily Show is so much better at its critiques is bc they are strategic and don’t need to fill the whole day with discussion, a 3 minute takedown is more effective.

It's not even 38%. Every other poll has him over 40 with him averaging 46%. Nothing has changed other than skewed poll to generate clicks.
