The election is over. They. Don't. Care.

Low enough approval means that the guillotine comes out, so they do care at some level. We're far from that level at the moment, though.

Yeah, a guillotine, in america. Seems that the best you guys can do is call your senile senator.

Yeah, the violence won't start until people are starving.

But that might happen sooner than you think

I feel like anywhere from 4 to 7 of those points are just on Elon, that's what happens when you employ the most annoying person in the country.

Well, Elon is the president.

I’ve noticed that depending on the news source, his approval ratings have dipped or skyrocketed. Which is it? 😒

They spiked after the inauguration (as is common) but now they're crashing in more recent polls

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

Thank you for elaborating.

2 polls not really enough to say it’s “crashing.” I mean I hope it is but need more points before it’s conclusive.

The swing if you look at consecutive yougov polls was 8 points. That's a lot in just two weeks!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Well YouGov is not a news source, and comparison is based on results from the same poll done 2 weeks apart.
