    does that mean more people approve now?

    No. If you read the article, you’ll find that approval is slightly lower than in 2022.

    Likewise, when polls report “Trump disapproval at all time high” it does not necessarily mean “Trump approval at all time low”.

      I literally said I read the article. It’s in my post. Maybe if you read my post instead of the first sentence, you’d realize what I dislike is the use of double-negatives generally.

        You read the article but asked a question that is answered in the third paragraph.

        70% of Americans said they approved of unions, per Gallup’s most recent poll, conducted in August. That’s just one point shy of the record hit in 2022

        And “disapproval hits 57-year low” is not a double negative, for the same reason “homelessness hits 57-year low” is not a double negative.
