Well, their methodology is staying the same and it's showing the results of the exact same questions being asked in a random survey taken every two months.

That's a really solid way, technically speaking, for a polling organization to establish trendlines.

On the questions where its possible to have historical data, they list data as far back as 2014 for some questions. (Obviously they weren't asking people in 2014 how much they approved or disapproved of the job Biden was doing as president. But stuff like "right track or wrong track for the country and "do you approve of the job Congress is doing" can go back a long way.)

Sure, the original post here chose to talk about this poll because he liked what it was saying. But it's not saying anything (outside of its margin of error) that the average of polls isn't also saying.
