Winning wars is usually the best way to improve your approval.

The real goal is 0%. Approval is meaningless when you have all the guns. 🥔

Only -181, SRD? I'm at -280.55 lol.

 

The gist of what everyone is saying @Faisal al Abbas is that approval rating is meaningless and, generally speaking, the ways by which you increase it are either counter intuitive to profitability or are partially out of your control. So... it's best not to worry about it. Part of my hopes they improve the approval rating system at some point, but I don't want them to go too far with it.

It's a cosmetic mechanic to see how much of your population likes you (because you are the leader despite what type of government you chose) The more actions you do to gain the favor of your people (winning wars, improving the economy, etc.), the higher it goes. The more actions you do/are done to you (having war declared on you, losing wars, every new turn you don't have food, higher disease rates, etc.)
