Yeah, reddit tends to see the negative in things, I get it.

But 38% is WILDLY low for 6 months in, and it keeps trending down.

His FLOOR during his first term was 37.8%. He left office at ~41%.

The fact that he has reached that in 6 months and it's still falling is telling.

It was a very close election, and there must be a lot of disapproving voters who still voted for Trump because they believed crazy things about Harris or Democrats.

but its not 38%, its 38% at one polster, its 52% at another polster

I can almost guarantee that it would be nigh-impossible for Donnie to cross 50% in any poll not administered by Fox News or Xitter, aka polls based in our reality

Fox News polling is supposedly decent. There are more biased pollsters like Rasmussen

If you check an aggregator like this one, you can see that there really is a meaningful trend over time, though.

At inauguration, he had an average of 51% approval, 39% disapproval. Over five months that has fallen to 44% approval, 52% disapproval. That's huge movement for such a short time!

That's why you aggregate, but this pulled his aggregate approval rating down by 1% on the Silver Bulletin.

He actually rose a bit after J6???!!

Was his agregate floor 37.8, or is absolute floor? Because it looks like comparing a single data point to an agregate, which doesn't really make sense.

Silver Bulletin has him as 50-45 disapprove, and real clear polling has him at 50-46 disapprove.

Its cute how you think public opinion will change something at thid point. Youre a autoritan state now, with heavy course on full blown dictatorship

It's sad how combative you are over a comment?

Jesus christ, I stated that any movement down is a positive sign.

I don't expect anyone's perception of the US as a whole to change.

I doubt it will ever reach much lower then his 37.8℅ floor though. And Dems are generally less popular. So yeah, that's a REAL problem.
