    Um, no?

    He’s still staying firmly in the 44-46% range, where he’s been since he was elected. The needle movements have been so small there’s a good chance they’re just rounding errors.

    Biden was at 33% at one point. Harry Truman managed to hit 22%. Nixon was at 23% when he left office.

    All this ‘Trump’s ratings went down half a point! The honeymoon is over! He’s the worst president ever!’ is absolute bullshit, and I’m tired of it. It’s designed to make us on the left feel like people agree with us. Probably so we’ll complacently wait for everyone to agree to help us get him out of office.

    Almost half the country is still thrilled with what Trump is doing. We are charging headlong into fascism with a good chunk of the country cheering it on. And those cheering masses are not going to ‘wake up’ and change our minds about it.

      While Trump has repeatedly referred to his predecessor, Joe Biden, as the “worst president in history,” Biden didn’t have a lower net approval than Trump at this point of his presidency.

      That’s some very narrow justification for publishing this article…

        It’s performative nonsense in the hopes we all back down and stay nice and peaceful, thinking that the rest of the US will just stop supporting him. This is just propaganda aimed at the left.

    This proves how unbelievably fucking stupid we are and how easily manipulated we are by propaganda…

    He was the worst president, so we voted him in again and then he proved to be even worse than before…
