NYT: "The share of Americans who say they have a favorable view of President Trump has increased
significantly since the 2016 election."
This Board is an outlier. Not seeing what I'm seeing.

Not if you look at poll averages.

Odd.
The article is behind a paywall.
The twitter thing you posted has a graph. The graph shows his popularity being higher around the time of the election than it is now (look at the left side and the right side of the graph.
The attached fivethirtyeight seems to show that he was more popular when he was elected, albeit for a short time.
Nothing seems to indicate that most Americans like him.

Don't argue with me. Argue with Nate Cohn.
"I often see a 2016-based view of 2020 in my replies. They take Trump '16 support, and then say Dems can win with incremental changes like higher black turnout or a better candidate.
I don't think that assumption works, in part bc Trump is also stronger than he was in '16"
[Read that again, Lehigh]
"If you're a Dem, for instance, who thinks all you need to do is boost black turnout to something closer to '12, I would caution that this may no longer be what it takes to win. It's not '16 anymore."
"If you're convinced that Trump can't win over additional supporters, I'd caution that it sure seems like he's done quite a bit of it already. IDK if he can keep going, but it's hard to say he can't."

I've never heard of him until today. Why would I argue with him?
Why are you following him?
