It is very difficult for Russians to understand Americans. For example, Russians were puzzled by the following news from the US: Donald Trump's approval rating hit another low. First, it is absolutely incomprehensible how the president's rating can fall.
Such situation is impossible in Russia. Vladimir Putin's rating has not lost a single percent for 17 years. The economy, the ruble, income, living standards - almost anything can fall, but the president's rating is growing steadily. Still, this is not the only odd aspect of the US political system. When Trump and his administration were accused of ties with Russia, the rating was falling. When Trump tightened sanctions against Russia, the rating was still falling. What do Americans need? Based on the results of the first 200 days of his presidency, only 38 percent of the US citizens approved Trump's actions. The index decreased by 6 percent in three months. All in all, 56 percent are displeased with his policy, which is 2 percent worse than the figures released 100 days ago. Still, the Republicans continue to support the current US President, although the level of trust among them decreased from 73 to 59 percent.
Experts advise Trump to learn from his Russian colleague. Analysts believe that regular question-and-answer sessions with the president can improve the approval rating. In their opinion, Trump should talk to mass media more often, as such intercommunication raises the ratings and mood of the Americans.
