[–] Buffalox@lemmy.world 100 points 2 years ago (4 children) However, Trump has maintained approval for longer during his second term than his first This is insane??!?! permalink fedilink source hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 83 points 2 years ago* (7 children) No, this is insane: But, later the same day, the President gave his joint address to Congress, which was largely well received by Americans. A poll by CNN showed that 69 percent of Americans had a positive reaction to the address, while a CBS News and YouGov poll showed 76 percent approved of it. It was therefore a day of mixed signals for the president, but the shift in Trump's approval ratings could suggest his honeymoon period in office is nearing its end. Yes the lie and greivance filled address. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 14 child comments replies: [–] osaerisxero@kbin.melroy.org 72 points 2 years ago (4 children) Nobody I know watched it. It would not surprise me to learn this poll filtered on 'people who watched the address', which is likely only people who were largely going to agree with him. Given that, only 69% (nice) having a positive reaction is a fucking indictment. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] Nougat@fedia.io 38 points 2 years ago I usually stay informed on "what people in the seat of power actually say and do," but I can't even watch that fucker's stupid face or listen to his stupid voice anymore. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Generica@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago This is a good point.

I haven't heard anyone at the office talking about it, either.
