Reality check. Headlines describe Trump approval: "crashing", "record low", "major decline". These are driven by cherry picking single polls The polling average HAS shown a decline from Jan but nothing that justifies "crashing". Apr low, small recovery, recent slip Now 43.6-52.1

Big picture I agree. But I notice there is a limited but significant difference between your chart here and those produced by NYT and Morris. Is that them applying a different filter/criteria for poll inclusion?
-
That is because the averages are being flooded by garbage polling

Does this include known crap pollsters like Rasmussen or Trafalgar? I don’t know why we should pay more attention to aggregates if they include terrible polls.

Headlines exaggerate. The reality is that he’s been steadily, and seriously, underwater for most of his term now.

Man, what are you talking about? This graph shows a pretty big decline! Here is a better view of the slope and scale and a comparison to Biden — who didn’t reach these lows until year 2!

The lines are diverging and that’s good.

"Folks, this is your captain. While the plane is unexpectedly descending at a fairly quick rate, I'd appreciate it if you please wouldn't say the plane is crashing."

I hate being spun by my own team

And as the economy falters his numbers will get worse
-
Yeah but these are hardly strong numbers.
-
He’s been scraping off his support floor for a long time. There would have to be a major crisis to go lower than this, IMO

We fujcking hate POS Trump.

Have you considered plotting his net approval over the same period, and giving it its own Y-axis
