I think it slows down the lower it gets, because the less supporters there are, the more loyal they have to be to stick to the president in the first place.
so exactly like boiling a pot of shit water. by the end you're just burning literal shit.
Yeah, meanwhile French presidents are regularly under 20% approval ratings and that's like, normal.
Almost 2/5 people still approve this demential fascist pedo narcissist? How?
Still 38% terminally stupid idiots.
Landline owners who answer calls from unknown. The data pool is inherently older and probably retired
That is actually a problem. But being stupid is not a privilege of the older generation.
I for one do not know how to do the following, but if anyone who finds this post happens to know how:
i do hope that diligence has been done to ensure these are ACTUAL POLL RESULTS and not just incompetent moronic consulting firms asking generative pretrained transformer large language model hallucination-bots to shit out possible results for them and claim it's a "simulation" of how they THINK poll respondents would indicate.
It's from Nate Silver of FiveThirtyEight fame. It's an aggregate of several polls, each of which are given a weight based on accuracy in the past, as well as a correction based on polling method that could skew the result slightly.
Note that these polls do not correspond to 38% of likely voters, as presidential approval tracking asks a much wider segment of the ~~pipularion~~ population beyond likely voters. But yeah, diligence has been done, as accurate as is possible when it comes to polls. I recommend checking out the link; The methodology is explained there better than I could ever do in a two paragraph comment.
