8. That Chart Is Concerning

I'm wondering about their methodology.
All three lines dip to 0 or less in the first 9 months.
No matter the party, people turn negative en masse for every president? Seems odd.
Oh, and where is 2017?
I can see disillusionment now given all the empty, impossible promises too many gullible voters bought.
But, what did Obama & Biden promise that they didn't deliver that would cause similar precipitous approval losses?
I just find the overall results odd & they don't make sense to me.
