The last time I did a check-in on President Trump’s popularity in November, I noted that the decline in his approval ratings had been remarkably linear.
[Edit] Changed link to point to original article instead of Newsweek as suggested (with valid reasons)
please stop linking to Newsweek:
In November 2022, the Southern Poverty Law Center reported that Newsweek had “taken a marked radical right turn by buoying extremists and promoting authoritarian leaders” since it hired conservative political activist Josh Hammer as editor-at-large. It noted the magazine’s elevation of conspiracy theorists, publication of conspiracy theories about COVID-19, views such as support for a ban on all legal immigration to the United States and denying adults access to trans-affirming medical care, and failure to disclose potential conflicts of interest in the content published on Hammer’s opinion section and podcast.[108]
Oh, the opinion section (which this article is not from) is somehow not even close to the biggest problem with Newsweek.
I swear to god… everytime I see

I see that article structure, and I know I’m reading something written by AI. Or at least, materially structured and written by AI, and edited by a human.
I don’t know that it’s an LLM thing generally speaking. Axios has been using it standardized for a while now, and god I hate it, but I can see it being copied by other outlets as useful to retain the attention of brainrotted readers who lack the discipline to read past the headline. I thought the same thing, though, before I remembered how long Axios has been doing it and that it’s probably a reasonably successful format for short-form articles.
Let’s stop giving NewsWeek any traffic and instead link to Silver’s approval tracker and article . There’s much more analysis here than the rag linked above.
Thanks for the links. Updated link to point to original article
Hopefully prison problems and disgorging all his businesses and anyone who profits from him
Poor title. Silver said “Trump has problems” not his “approval ratings have problems.”
Yeah I thought the headline was about polling methodology issues.
The fact that anyone still approves of him at all is the fucking shame of the United States citizen.
you would think he could somehow… “read”
