It's possible to not like a candidate and still vote for them. Just asking if you approve or disapprove means nothing.
- It means something, clearly. This is only meaningless if enough people in the US are pragmatic and sensible and will vote for people they dislike to keep out a monster... Let me just have a check what happened in 2016 OH GOD OH FUCK WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE
  
  prag·mat·ic adjective dealing with things sensibly and realistically in a way that is based on practical rather than theoretical considerations.
  
  When they have you voting against something it's all theoretical
  
  There is always the no monsters in politics vote.
  
  Trump and Biden are two sides of same coin. They are not so vastly different as you portend
  
  So many Trump policies Biden continued it almost feels like we live in a satire
  
  I would prefer Mr brain worn wins at this point
In this same poll, Trump fared much worse.
- It's infuriating. You have to read two thirds of the article before they mention that Trump's numbers are worse. It really reads like he's doing better than Biden prior to that. Newsweek is a rag.
This is the best summary I could come up with:

President Joe Biden's favorability rating is its "worst ever" in the Democratic stronghold of New York while former President Donald Trump has made minimal gains in the state, according to a Siena College poll.

In 2020, Biden won New York by nearly 2 million votes, a roughly 23 percent margin over Trump.

New York, which has remained a blue state for the most part since the Great Depression, has voted for the Democratic presidential nominee in the past nine elections and, in six of those, the nominee won by a 20 percent margin.

In May, 38 percent of New Yorkers said they'd support Trump, one point higher than April's poll.

June's poll surveyed 805 registered voters in New York and had a margin of error of plus or minus 4.1 percentage points.

An The Economist/YouGov Poll conducted from June 16 to 18 showed Trump and Biden tied at 42 percent.

The original article contains 415 words, the summary contains 150 words. Saved 64%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
