No, El Salvador’s dictator Bukele probably doesn't have a 85% approval rating, and if he does it's not because of Bitcoin (as his approval rating is down 11 percentage points since its introduction)

I am referring to this post that shares an article saying "El Salvador’s President Bukele Has An 85% Approval Rating In A New Gallup Poll, Thanks To His Bitcoin Experiment".And wow, as always with crypto media, that's very, very bad "journalism". Firstly, it's not a "Gallup Poll", it's by a company called "CID Gallup". Seemingly not related to the 'real' Gallup, and what screams 'credible' more than a company that steals a name in order to seem more credible?Secondly, who says this is "Thanks To His Bitcoin Experiment"? They only asked for approval, not for the reasons. In November 2020 as well as in March 2021 the same company reported 96% approval for him - and what screams "totally legit, not Kim Jong-un style survey" more than 96% approval? Anyways, if we trust this trash company, he's down 11 percentage points since then - and if we are going by the same logic as that post/ article, it's 'due to his BTC experiment', because the other ones were before it.Don't believe every awful article shared here just becasuse it's pro crypto.tl;dr: we probably shouldn't believe that company that pretends to be Gallup and gave Bukele a 85% approval rating but if we do, he's down a lot in the ratings since he introduced BTC as legal tender
