You say it like a 35% approval rating is a good thing. It is not.

That a third or more still support him seems crazy to me.

But it's an approval rating. Of the people surveyed. Who chose to reply.

A lot of extrapolations are made out of the 10 people who responded.

You do not believe in statistics as a discipline?

		I don't think most polling qualifies as statistics, without providing info like selection criteria or number of respondents. Otherwise we'll walk right into another situation like when Trump won an election while polling in near last place. Or maybe I want something a little more significant than "we asked around the newsroom, and 35% of fox news reporters approve of the current administration". Cool, thanks, but that's not helpful or even a useful datapoint.

Still way too high.

35% of US voters is all you need to be President and control the Senate, effectively controlling the US government.
