The shift in approval happened faster for Trump than it did for his predecessor, former President Joe Biden.

    The fact that this is what it took is about as indicative of power decline and descent into straight up fascism as it gets. If Trump didn’t run in like a bull in the China shop, I’m fairly certain, it wouldn’t have gone negative.

    Im not sure any of them care about approval ratings anymore. They got what they want. They’re just trying to figure out how to force the consolidation of power right now.

    Biden’s approval rating went negative in September 2021, around seven months after he was sworn into office, while for Trump it’s been just over a month.

      I’m going out on a limb and saying the approval ratings mean nothing. Some old guy told you he was going to dismantle the government, pick fights with other countries and has a positive rating but it goes negative when he does it? Either the approval ratings are BS or the people rating are idiots. Either way, that would mean the approval ratings are completely useless as a metric.
