Sorry, let me hold your hand on what i was saying a little more. Approval rating bumps directly after an election where there’s been no time for major policy to occur (let alone for people to digest that policy and it’s fallout) because there’s been a transfer of power is meaningless when it comes to reflecting policy.
Unlike the previous administration, Trump moved very fast in his first week in office. These are major policies. It is important these policies are aligned with his campaign promises. Based on the current polls, his voters are very satisfied, and the polls are not meaningless at all. This is not the Biden administration which not much was done in the first week.
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?

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.
