Im not sure any of them care about approval ratings anymore. They got what they want. They're just trying to figure out how to force the consolidation of power right now.

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!

MODERATORS
It's too early to take the black pill. All that's needed for the House to be a check on the executive is 1 republican to cross the aisle. The less popular Trump is, the easier that gets.
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.
This is absolutely brigading bullshit. Ain’t no fuckin way.
It's probably because most people that didn't approve didn't want to watch it in the first place because there's nothing useful to hear.
Yuuup. If I wanted to watch a guy suck himself off for two hours, I'd pick someone more attractive.
It's even worse because his mouth looks like an anus and his neck looks like a vigina. He's a Cronenberg fever nightmare.
The only people willing to watch Trump spew two hours of straight lies are Trump supporters and political correspondents (and the large amount of overlap).
I have only a finite time on this pale blue dot, and I am definitely not going to spend more of it listening to what a walking combination of McDonald's characters (i.e. Mayor McCheese, Hamburgler, Grimace, and Ronald) has to say about the state of a country he's constantly trying to run into the ground.
It can't be true because it doesn't fit our world view.
I'm I don't know... Muricans elected donald knowing full well what he was about to do...
I am certain trump is dumb and evil... I am NOT certain this is not what Muricans wanted
The fact that this is what it took is about as indicative of power decline and descent into straight up fascism as it gets. If Trump didn't run in like a bull in the China shop, I'm fairly certain, it wouldn't have gone negative.
I dont believe any bullshit polls.
Biden's approval rating went negative in September 2021, around seven months after he was sworn into office, while for Trump it's been just over a month.
I'm going out on a limb and saying the approval ratings mean nothing. Some old guy told you he was going to dismantle the government, pick fights with other countries and has a positive rating but it goes negative when he does it? Either the approval ratings are BS or the people rating are idiots. Either way, that would mean the approval ratings are completely useless as a metric.
The people are, in fact, removed.

Many will be, yes. First they came for the immigrants..
In Canada, another election would've been called by now
Why? Did he do the stupidest things imaginable to hurt his own voters?
I disapprove of JD Vance’s pants so there’s multiple explanations.

So does his couch
You guys sure showed him
It was positive until now?!
IK,R? How fucking clueless do you have to be to support this clown show?
You have to be credulous and in a news bubble that tells you he's only doing good things. Either that or you need to be completely disconnected from the news; I think many are.
it's not like he has to run for re-election this time
He seems to think he is.
