It wasn’t good enough to get downvoted for posting this on !politics@lemmy.world a few days back, it had to be done again!
You are free to post quality content, too. Gallup is one of the best polling institutions in the country, it's pretty hard to post better quality polls.
How did they do in 2016?
Just the same as they always have. But they don’t do election polling if that’s what you mean
I mean, some of that is also on people who don't post stuff. Like, if you don't like what someone posts but don't post stuff youself...it's not likely that they're gonna change what they post to fit what you want.
This community has 16k active users. If each active person on here posted one article a month, it'd be innundated in content, like an average of a new post every two minutes, day and night.
EDIT: I just submitted my next seven months worth!
That would be great, then I wouldn’t need to post 10 articles a day here and I wouldn’t have to always sort by new.
Concerning. But also Obama was less popular than Trump at this point and we know how those both turned out, so hopefully Biden can change it around. Maybe don't send a genocidal government bombs that will be dropped on children? Idk I'm not a political scientist
Obama was so unpopular that he was succeeded by Trump. it may be that Biden will share the same fate
Sorry... you think Trump was elected because Obama was unpopular?
How does that even work? I know Trump thinks he ran against Obama, but why do you?
Yeah but Obama got two terms, not his fault Hilary didn't inspire people.
I did too much research on approval ratings now soooo...
Trump: 41%
1st term: 49%
2nd: 47%
Bush:
1st: 62% (!)
2nd: 37%
1st: 50%
2nd: 61%
Other Bush: 61%
And...
Biden, average to date: 43%
Oof. The only president people like him more than is Trump or 2nd term Bush. Lucky he is the one running I guess, haha
I wonder how well the Clinton and Bushes would have fared if their constituents were constantly bombarded by negative political coverage on social media and in memes. They only had to watch out for people who read newspapers.
The variety of actual polls on each President is very odd. Apples, oranges, and fish?
@return2ozma well, when you place your administration as a patron of despicable foreign policy, and the young people who voted for you (or would vote for you) are protesting that foreign policy, how is this a surprise?
Gallup is one of the most reliable polling institutions in the US. Biden really has actually managed to beat out the previously most unpopular president at this point, GHW Bush.
It's not too surprising. Dems are a lot less tribal. They're more likely to disapprove actions from their own party. And neither one is getting a lot from the other side
The only thing that really matters is whether the people who disapprove of both will vote one way or the other. Disapproving Republicans are probably voting Republican and disapproving Democrats are probably voting Democratic.
