President Biden’s approval is hovering just above 60 percent more than four months into his presidency, buoyed by his handling of the coronavirus pandemic and improving views of the U.S. economy, according to a new Harvard CAPS/Harris poll released exclusively to The Hill.

Overall, 62 percent of respondents said they either strongly or somewhat approve of the job Biden is doing in the White House, while 38 percent said they disapprove. By comparison, former President Trump scored 45 percent approval in a May 2017 Harvard CAPS/Harris poll.

Biden gets his highest marks for his handling of the coronavirus pandemic, with 70 percent saying they like the job he’s done so far to rein in the outbreak.

I think they slipped a decimal place. 6.2% seems better

There was a poll a few weeks ago that claimed 63%. If he is now at 62, that used to be a decrease or unchanged.

Oh, wait, Democrat math.

Must be a Ministry of Truth poll. 103% also believe Islam is Peace, Slavery is Freedom and Diversity is Strength.

I know this is propaganda, however, when the government is sending out checks on a routine basis, that sways a lot of people.

Last time I checked my approval rating was 74%. Since these were my so called friends I am going to have to do something to improve my image with the other 5 people.

I still don’t know why we are even playing the poll game anymore.

It’s pretty obvious that these are just nothing but propaganda.

2016, 2018 and 2020 settled that.

This is as real as the Biden +17 in Wisconsin.

when your sample includes a ratio of dums to repubs of 2 to 1 then it is easy to get the above result

This article is complete BS! Polls are simply propaganda tools. This one is trying to convince you that people like Joe Biden and what he is doing. You convinced?

And this is the highest he gets. This same poll if they keep the same bias will have him under 50% a year from now once reality settles in on crime, inflation and economic weakness after the stimmy checks wear off.

Exactly correct. Look at the effect the promise to dole out larger stimulus checks had in the Ga senatorial runoff election. “Vote for me and get another 600.” I guess that is the current days value on 30 pieces of silver.

Never underestimate the effect of a few dollars has on the nitwit voting public. Unfortunately it is not just limited to the gimme dats.
