Noteworthy enough, Trump's aggregate approval ratings is unfortunately quite high for the first month in office compared to before.
I mean he's still the lowest ever, ignoring his last term. And it's within MoE.
It's also now dropped. 37pt swing for GenZ, +18 to -19
It almost makes you wonder where the fuck they were getting their information prior to the election
It’s a psychological thing. People think he won decisively so they fall in line in a rallying effect even if they hate his guts.
I'm not that surprised. With George Bush Junior, his approval plummeted, going from 90%+ after 9/11 basically straight down after that, until a few months before the election, when marketing dollars pumped his ratings up to just squeak out a victory, leaving the country suffering under Republican reign for another 4 years.
With more targeted propaganda now, I am willing to bet that the tap was immediately turned off, so a relentless stream of misinformation stopped overnight.
Just a theory! 😆

Yeah, it's because "at least he's doing something." Plenty of uninformed chuds are making the assumption that any action is good action. They're also the same folks that still insist project 2025 is a liberal hoax.
Im wondering how they ate compliling that number now.
Most of them have the methodology listed on the page.
For example, FiveThirtyEight also list the polls used to aggregate and their weighted value as well as the full list of contributing researchers to the project all listen on the page.
Aggregate sites all also predicted the election outcome.
