In contrast to these findings, Gallup reported in January of this year that their latest polling on U.S. citizen satisfaction with the American federal government revealed only 38 percent of respondents were satisfied with the federal government. Googling this took me a couple of seconds.

Regardless of who asks the questions, these people still live their lives under the goverment. It would be one thing to have a majority of their citizen be satisfied with how a goverment is run, but 95.5% approval rating is just illogical. It could only happen if there is pressure to give a positive answer or they are living in a utopia, and we all know human nature rules out the possibility of the second from ever existing. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] gnuhaut@lemmy.ml 1 point 3 years ago You'd think the libs at Harvard would mention this. How do you think this actually works? Better explanation: China has lifted 800 million out of poverty over 40 years, and quality of life has improved massively for almost everyone (also things that are confirmed by western institutions).
