    It’s a little early to start drawing conclusions for sure. Interesting to see though that this time, like last time, his approval starts around 45%. You’d think having just been elected they’d start about 50 at least. Biden at least had the benefit of the doubt for a while it seems.

      I find it fascinating how Trumps ratings took a hit when COVID started but then they went higher than when he started his presidency only for them to fall off a cliff at the end.

      Another interesting thing is seeing how “jumpy” the data is for both Obama and Trump, but with Biden it looks like they either polled for data way less often or his ratings just stagnated for periods of time.

        I don’t think it’s that interesting at all. Trump had an opportunity to step up and be a leader for all Americans, and for a moment it seemed he was going to do so, but instead he politicized the only preventative measures we had and made sure all his friends got massive paydays.
