Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

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.
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.
I don’t know that I would ascribe that much malice to it. I think it’s just good ol’ clickbait aimed at the left for the ad revenue.
What about Hoover? Can't tell me his approval rating were great.
he's as low as 37% in some polls
