LOL, AITA for thinking the united states presidential approval rating is just a government-funded astrology chart? TL;DR: Poll says 60% of Americans are 'satisfied,' but I’m pretty sure they just asked a bunch of golden retrievers. Newsflash: The united states presidential approval rating hit a new high of 42%… which basically means 58% of us are one bad tweet away from forming a militia. Can’t wait for the next 'historic' bump when we legalize nap time for Congress.
