What's up with Truman, Kennedy and all those high numbers?
Even if we assume Truman achieved 100% approval in the first 100 days, that'd mean his initial approval was 16%.
I am going to be a bit skeptical of this.
Mainly because I know that Kennedy was elected and not grandfathered in like truman and there's no way he was only elected with only 28%
Net approval at a point in time is the percentage of voters who approve minus the percentage of voters who disapprove, it's not a delta from an earlier reading.
For net approval to be negative, more people must disapprove then approve.
