I wish articles wouldn't use double negatives like this.
Is "approval" at a 57 year low, or is "disapproval" low? Meaning, if disapproval is low, does that mean more people approve now?
I did read the article, by the way. I just feel like the wording could be better. I'm glad to see approval is so high. I wish access to unions was better.
I think approval and disapproval ratings are two different things that do not necessarily correlate.
Neutral and ambivalent opinions also exist.
Saying "disapproval rate at all time low" paints a more complete picture than "approval or neutral opinion at all time high."
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.
