Wanting to have a beer with him is certainly not a colloquialism for approval rating. It is about him seeming like a cool guy on a personal level and like one you'd like to have a one-on-one conversation and hang out with. That characteristic may or may not have anything to do with how good you think they are doing being POTUS. I thought he was a terrible President but still would love to have a beer with him and shoot the breeze.

> I thought he was a terrible President but still would love to have a beer with him and shoot the breeze. I might be selling the sophistication of the electorate short but I think this attitude is probably a little unusual. I suspect for most people likability, approval, and electability are all rather synonymous. Difficult to prove since the polls don't include the beer question, just the questions related to actual approval.
