Again, I never said “polls are meaningless.” I said “poll bumps all presidents have after an election resulting in a transfer of power are meaningless in reference to policy approval.”
But look back at your own link. His approval rating is already slipping back. Less than a month ago he was at +8.2 and now he’s at +5.3. And it will only accelerate as his policy sinks in. Also wild that you think +8.2 approval could mean that anyone is “very satisfied.” But, whatever.
Trump has been at the center stage of American politics since 2016. Normally when you are there you lose political capital over time. The fact that Trump’s approval and favorability rating is at the highest after 8 years is ridiculously amazing.
Times have changed. In 1984 Reagan won all states except one. The political landscape is very different now. I don’t see how anyone be able to do something similar no matter how good of a politician that person is.
To have the highest approval rating after 8 years at the center stage of American politics is amazing. Can you name a few who managed to do that?
Its not the highest. Its +5.3 when it was +8.2 a few werks ago. And its amazing you’re still trying to do so many mental gymnastics to brag about a temporary +8.2 approval rating.
I could probably go through the data and find someone with better approval at one point after years of being in politics. Hell, I’m pretty sure Bidens approval after being elected after being vp for 8 years and then on the campaign trail another 4 years was higher than +8.2 direactly after he was elected. But the premise of bragging about a temporary +8.2 approval rating is so stupid I’m not going to bother to make a real comparison and entertain it.
Did you pay attention to the details? There was one poll that was a clear outlier. Perhaps you purposely choose not to see that…
Anyway, nobody cares about VP. It is so ridiculous for you to bring this up knowing VP really doesn’t do much. I suppose you don’t have any better example. That proves my point.
Im sorry, do we trust 538s polling average you cited again or not? I honestly can’t keep up with your gymnastics. What citations would you like to cherry pick again?
Ahh right. Being VP isn’t center stage but checks notes being nothing for 4 years still constitutes as center stage. Got it. You should try out for the Olympics.

You heard it folks. People temporarily like trump a tiny bit more than they hate him and that’s ridiculously amazing. The bar is in hell.
It didn’t used to be normal that politicians were so hated and its weird to act like we should be happy about a politician most poeple hate.
