Where the hell is Trump still polling at 45?

[–] shoo@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

In this single conservative financed polling site I guess. Looking at other polls and aggregates, the highest I've seen is 38 with plenty below 35.

Disapproval rating still at a record high for any president. IIRC he hasn't gotten under 50 since like week 1.

There are so many colors in the spectrum. Why use 2 red tones on a chart requiring 3 colors lol

How else would the mouth breathers know which team belongs to which line? You expect them to read?

So are you calling people with red/green deficient color blindness, mouth breathes?

Also, who is the real mouth breather in your scenario? The person trying to differentiate between two similarly shaded lines or the person reaching so hard to insult the entire opposing political population without realizing there is no actual text to read that is affected by the color scheme.

Maybe worry less about how stupid everyone else is and spend more time worrying about how stupid you make yourself look🤣

reaching so hard to insult the entire opposing political population

So, are you included in this set? Is that why you're white-knighting here against a throw away joke? Do you... breathe through your mouth?

without realizing there is no actual text to read that is affected by the color scheme

Bro, do you even legend?

Or am I arguing with someones shitty prompt fed to a slop machine?

So tell me the color of the text and how the color of the text background affects anyone's ability to red the text itself?

Not seeing how someone so smart is struggling to understand none of my comments have anything to do with reading anything. To me the two red colors look the same. The text that is in the colored background boxes you provided image of is still white text and completely fine to read. All the other text in the image is black font over white background so there is literally zero connection between my comments on color usage and anyone's literacy level.

Not in the slightest. Im sorry thats the conclusion you draw when your joke sounds like you are grouping color blind people with idiots regardless of what political side you are calling idiots. It wasnt till now that I even made the connection that they used 2 shades of red for conservative presidents amd blue for the Democrat. I think that it makes the design even more idiotic to prioritize something that is common knowledge when it completely ruins the readability of the graph.

Or am I arguing with someones shitty prompt fed to a slop machine?

I have no fuckin clue why my account shows a tag for being a bot. I was fuckin around in settings recently and remember changing something regarding bots in the "Thunder" mobile app. Maybe that did something. To prove im not a bot ill conclude with the gift of knowing that you tell shitty jokes and took way too much explaining to understand I replied shittily to your shitty low effort joke plus every other point you addressed was entirely off base which all supports my theory that ur kinda dum🍻 no worries most of my best friends are dumber than me and thats not to say im smart its to say its way more fun being friends with dummies than being the dummy amongst friends 😂/s

tells you nothing about the presidents' job performance and everything about the media

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 6 points 3 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Oh, it says a lot about their job performance, just not the GDP. Obama never recovered from the subprime crisis and it shows.

Then he kept backing out of his promises to end the Middle Eastern wars and close the torture prisons and instead kept blowing up toddlers and here we are.

I just want to say, if they didn't actually ask the same people over and over, this isn't a measurement of change, it's an array of different demographics of whoever they happened to ask at the time...not....a....change....chart....

[–] Thoath@leminal.space 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

This is a better graph for when each party's members get it in their pants to actually do a poll in the first place, based on year and season/ term progression

[–] kingofras@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Either this is very poorly sourced or the progressive parts of the internet are even bigger echo chambers than I thought.
