But like, a majority decided it would be a good idea to let him have a go at breaking that record. You thought, maybe he'd be a good choice once, rapidly discovered that was not the case and then decided to try AGAIN!?

Man, how low do you think Trump III's approval rating will be?
∞%
1000% of course, everyone is going to be approving our Leader bigly

must be all that golf scoring getting to his head
What's up with Truman, Kennedy and all those high numbers?
Even if we assume Truman achieved 100% approval in the first 100 days, that'd mean his initial approval was 16%.
I am going to be a bit skeptical of this.
Mainly because I know that Kennedy was elected and not grandfathered in like truman and there's no way he was only elected with only 28%
+84 doesn't mean an increase of 84 percentage points, it means 92% approval, 8% disapproval.
Net approval at a point in time is the percentage of voters who approve minus the percentage of voters who disapprove, it's not a delta from an earlier reading.
For net approval to be negative, more people must disapprove then approve.
I don't think this is initial approval minus approval 100 days in, I think it's approval 100 days in minus disapproval 100 days in.
Is it possible that it's % of variation compared to what it was on day 1? So if approval was 50% and on day 100 it's 60% that's +20 (20% of 50 = 10, 50 + 10 = 60)?
Yet here we are...
Truman +84 yeah sure ok. EDIT: sorry I misunderstood. I thought it was the delta after 100 days vs initial.
I can't imagine anything significant that happened during Truman's first few months that would make his approval rating go up /s
I know it would jump but how was it that low to begin with? That's, like, insanely low it must have been below 10% Edit: sorry I misunderstood the chart
Hitler was defeated during his first 100 days.
Yeah but that would imply his approval was like 10 beforehand.....no way was it that low Edit: sorry I misunderstood the chart
bush being like "only 41? pff hey condi toss that pdb in the trash and pretend you didn't see it"
Interesting that it is a very clear downward trend. Hopefully this is a sign that more and more people realize the two parties are failing them and are ready for a shake up.
Given he had the similar decrease on his first term... I'm not holding my breath.
I was actually about to make a comment that I think this is related to biased media, the 24/7 news cycle, and the need for outrage to get eyeballs for ad revenue.
In the past I think people had their amygdalas left alone for the most part, at least for anything that wasn't "be afraid of communism!!"
