Every other president had an increase. Every single one. Not even breaking a record, creating a new one by failing twice.

Also every other president had a positive net approval.
Your point is still valid, but it’s not an increase/decrease thing.
Im pretty sure Net Approval means percent that approve minus percent that disapprove.
Curses, you are right!
And yet he has no less power… In fact I bet he has more than any other on the list thanks to the supreme court.
Your system is so fucked. It took the Tories less time than it takes for a lettuce to go bad to oust the mad woman in the attic when she fucked our economy.
It’s been true all my life, just especially so these last 2 decades
In general the president has been gaining power over the past 50 years as congress has become more gridlocked and inept.
Now we’re at the point where a president can bomb a foreign country backed only by the approval of his buddies in a signal chat.

Yet here we are…
Interesting that it is a very clear downward trend. Hopefully this is a sign that more and more people realize the two parties are failing them and are ready for a shake up.
I was actually about to make a comment that I think this is related to biased media, the 24/7 news cycle, and the need for outrage to get eyeballs for ad revenue.
In the past I think people had their amygdalas left alone for the most part, at least for anything that wasn’t “be afraid of communism!!”
What’s up with Truman, Kennedy and all those high numbers?
Even if we assume Truman achieved 100% approval in the first 100 days, that’d mean his initial approval was 16%.
I am going to be a bit skeptical of this.
Mainly because I know that Kennedy was elected and not grandfathered in like truman and there’s no way he was only elected with only 28%
Is it possible that it’s % of variation compared to what it was on day 1? So if approval was 50% and on day 100 it’s 60% that’s +20 (20% of 50 = 10, 50 + 10 = 60)?
I don’t think this is initial approval minus approval 100 days in, I think it’s approval 100 days in minus disapproval 100 days in.
Net approval at a point in time is the percentage of voters who approve minus the percentage of voters who disapprove, it’s not a delta from an earlier reading.
For net approval to be negative, more people must disapprove then approve.
bush being like “only 41? pff hey condi toss that pdb in the trash and pretend you didn’t see it”
Truman +84 yeah sure ok.
Hitler was defeated during his first 100 days.
