Interesting heteroskedasticity
You should take off Ukraine. They’re only approving of him out of need. Makes the relationship even clearer
Surprisingly Denmark has the lowest Trump approval rate.
Even in Hungary it is below 0!
Also, the fit is deficient. Ukraine should be taken out because it is a warring country, HDI is an outlier there. Then, the fit line would drop down much, much faster with a way better correlation coefficient.
Those countries where people live better despise Trump and his policies. Those countries where people live worse are more prone to being taken by Trump’s populist rhetorics.
Australia would be right there with Norway
Why is the UK rating so “high”?
I think this same relationship applies to US states
Wtf is up with the UK and Czechia?
Weird that the Finland- Netherlands connection is here as well. I would expect Finland to be far more negative.
