So Republicans like a Republican president, while Democrats don't and more Independents disapprove of DJT than approve? So in other words, more people dislike him than like him?

You've basically just argued that except for the people that don't approve of Trump, everyone approves of him.

Strange chart.
The total should always be 100% or it shouldn't be percentages but actual numbers.
In all, red is increasing among all 3 groups.
Not surprising though.
Only a few are aware of / appreciate what's going on behind the scenes (for as far as we can know at all..).
The swamp cleaning is hardly visible to the average public.
I think most people don't know what "Q anon" is, or what it is about.

Incorrect. Note the chart legend: Red-->Disapprove, Green-->Approve

There's a lot more Green than Red ... except among Democrats.


[... and all that approval despite a persistent negative drumbeat from the mainstream press for over a year. Amazing.]

you gotta admit, the chart is pretty confusing.
Not saying it's not accurate, it's just not a good chart.

You mean the Independents chart shows that 40% (or so) of them approve of DJT while 10-15% or so disapprove?

That's a bizarre way to interpret that graph. It also makes no sense when you look at their other information (which pegs him as being still right at 44% approval, which is up from mid-30s, but still the lowest since 1945) . I'd bet a shiny penny that what they've done is put the red BEHIND the green, so you can see both clearly. Reading otherwise makes no sense numerically, let alone graphically.

Here's another graph from the site.

Yep. That appears to be the correct interpretation ... with a significant percentage in each demographic who declined to voice either a positive or negative opinion.

According to the chart then, Independents are slightly negative on approval, while "Republicans" overwhelmingly approve and "Democrats" overwhelmingly disapprove.

That's consistent with the other information listed on the site this chart originated from.
