However, Trump has maintained approval for longer during his second term than his first

This is insane??!?!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    This is a good point. I don't personally know anyone who watched it, as I am solidly in the anti-Trumpism camp. It's already too stressful without rubbing our noses in his defiant stupidity and flaunting his unwarranted hubris.

    I saw one place that seemed to say that the address approval poll was among those who watched it. Could be that those who were likely to disapprove didn't watch it in the first place.

    We couldn't watch it. We usually watch parts or all of the State of the Union and are pretty politically inclined, but we just could not listen to him say more than one sentence without wanting to break our TV. I haven't heard anyone at the office talking about it, either.

    I'm guessing only his fans watched it, so of course it had high approval from those who watched it.

    Uh, sure sounds like only/overwhelmingly his supporters watched it and were polled. It's almost impossible to find anything that 76% percent of all Americans approve of.

    Edit: if I would have read even a little, I'd have seen that others made this point. Apologies.

    What the fuck. Did I watch the same address as other Americans? That was awful. I can't believe it had that high of an approval rating

    The American populace is comprised of a lot of very stupid, cowardly people. It's been molded by decades of propaganda to make them into this. I am not surprised and I do not expect Americans to be able to get themselves out of this descent spiral.

    "Poll by cnn"

    May as well be a poll by South Park.

    I watched that thing. The only thing i managed to agree with was that men should not be able to compete as women in womens sports. It destroys the entire sport and makes it impossible for woman to compete. I laughed at South Park episodes about this but the reality is far from funny for the women competing.

    The rest was just a narc talking. Blaming everyone else and thinking his own decisions are flawless. The guy is using the same rhetoric as Hitler and Americans dont seem to recognize it, probably because they dont read german history.

    He does not look great in that picture. It's still wild to me that we essentially elected a walking corps with dementia.

    I thought it was negative when he started

    No, he just proclaimed it was the highest in history just last night at his rally.

    This is awesome, but when they say negative do they mean less than 0%? If so... how does that work?

    Trump deserves that negative approval rating.
