Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.

Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
Concerning. But also Obama was less popular than Trump at this point and we know how those both turned out, so hopefully Biden can change it around. Maybe don't send a genocidal government bombs that will be dropped on children? Idk I'm not a political scientist
Obama was so unpopular that he was succeeded by Trump. it may be that Biden will share the same fate
Sorry... you think Trump was elected because Obama was unpopular?
How does that even work? I know Trump thinks he ran against Obama, but why do you?
Yeah but Obama got two terms, not his fault Hilary didn't inspire people.
I did too much research on approval ratings now soooo...
Trump: 41%
1st term: 49%
2nd: 47%
Bush:
1st: 62% (!)
2nd: 37%
1st: 50%
2nd: 61%
Other Bush: 61%
And...
Biden, average to date: 43%
Oof. The only president people like him more than is Trump or 2nd term Bush. Lucky he is the one running I guess, haha
I wonder how well the Clinton and Bushes would have fared if their constituents were constantly bombarded by negative political coverage on social media and in memes. They only had to watch out for people who read newspapers.
The variety of actual polls on each President is very odd. Apples, oranges, and fish?
@return2ozma well, when you place your administration as a patron of despicable foreign policy, and the young people who voted for you (or would vote for you) are protesting that foreign policy, how is this a surprise?
Gallup is one of the most reliable polling institutions in the US. Biden really has actually managed to beat out the previously most unpopular president at this point, GHW Bush.
It's not too surprising. Dems are a lot less tribal. They're more likely to disapprove actions from their own party. And neither one is getting a lot from the other side
The only thing that really matters is whether the people who disapprove of both will vote one way or the other. Disapproving Republicans are probably voting Republican and disapproving Democrats are probably voting Democratic.
