    Ironic that Dick Cheney had a +23 approval rating seeing as he is historically remembered as a warmonger
  • @rjScubaSki
    How on earth did Cheney have a net positive approval rating
  • @AlekWheeler
    Cheney going from the most popular VP, to the least popular VP in four years will never not be funny. From the high of 68% to the low of 13%
  • @ScottLarrry
    Harris is really stepping up her campaign game, isn't she? Do you reckon this could be the moment we see the first female president in the USA? How do you see her stacking up against Trump? It's shaping up to be quite the showdown!
  • Why in God's name is this even a competition? America is insane
  • @Lamster66
    It the "Anybody but Trump as long as it's not Biden" Effect
  • @plucas1
    "There's lots of reasons to be skeptical of hypothetical polling" EVERY poll except the actual election is hypothetical.
  • @pjlikesmusic
    "We've been to the border" "You haven't been to the border" "I haven't been to Europe"
  • Kamala may be ahead in the polls… but how many Americans live in the poles?
  • @Coming4UNext
    I’m sure this is gonna be a fun comment section filled with highly educated individuals
  • @PoshanMind
    I hope we all know that it doesn't matter who is in the 'top job' because this is a systemic problem -- greed. We have allowed many of our economic sectors, to take advantage of the American people. It's disgusting and frightening for the future of our country. My husband and I will be retiring in the next two years n another country. We are absolutely worried that SSI will no longer be funded. we'll have to rely on his pension, a 403 (b) and a very prolific lnvestment account with my Abby Joseph Cohen my FA. Our national debt is bloating and expanding every month. Our government needs to get spending under control and cut the federal budget.

    Please dont use the term "Latinx". The term is universally hated and unnecessary.
  • @concinnus
    The real bugbear of polling is that the pollsters have to guess who's a "likely voter", which they've been terrible at since 2016. Add to that, polling this early is meaningless.
  • What the hell is Latinx??? And how does Dick Cheney have highest approval for committing war crimes?!?!
  • @6rat80
    7:12 I’ve been rather patient with the minor errors but I’m sorry that Ohio placement is completely atrocious
  • It's adorable how this channel seems to think there is consistency in American politics.
  • Approval Ratings are worthless in the hyperpartisan dynamic of the USA. There will be very little approval across party lines.
  • The polling you mention that "skyrocketed" isn't even polling for an election, it's a favorability rating, and even then, it's still -17, according to your own very first source.
