    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.

        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.
