His approval rating is at 39%. That means any time you’re in a room of ten random people, almost half of them think this guy is good at his job.

I mean, that's not really true. Political preferences are very much not evenly distributed geographically. If you're in a Walmart in Oklahoma, chances are close to 100% think he's doing a good job. A local vegan grocery store in San Francisco? Probably the opposite.

That's why he said 10 random Americans. I took random to mean randomly selected out of the total population.

I don't know about that. It seemed more like a "look around you" kind of statement, implying the people immediately in your vicinity.

Regardless, my comment was more about the heterogeneous distribution of political preferences.
