Poll: Biden disapproval hits new high as more Americans say they would vote for Trump
Yahoo News ^ | June 17, 2022 | Andrew Romano

As inflation keeps rising and recession fears loom, a new Yahoo News/YouGov poll shows that Joe Biden is currently in the worst shape of his presidency.

The survey of 1,541 U.S. adults, which was conducted from June 10-13, found that if another presidential election were held today, more registered voters say they would cast ballots for Donald Trump (44%) than for Biden (42%) — even though the House Jan. 6 committee has spent the last week linking Trump to what it called a “seditious conspiracy” to overturn the 2020 election and laying the groundwork for possible criminal prosecution.

Since Biden took office, no previous Yahoo News/YouGov poll has shown him trailing Trump (though Biden’s most recent leads have been within the margin of error, like this one is for Trump). One year ago, Biden led Trump by 9 percentage points. In 2020, Biden won the White House by more than 7 million votes.

Yet Biden’s job approval rating has been atrophying for much of the last year, and the new survey shows that it has never been weaker. A full 56% of Americans now disapprove of the president’s performance — the highest share to date — while just 39% approve. Three weeks ago, those numbers were 53% and 42%, respectively.

On average, Biden’s job approval scores are now a few points worse than Trump’s were at the parallel stage of his presidency.

The bad news for Biden comes as prices continue to increase at the fastest pace in 40 years, upending expectations and overshadowing other concerns. According to the poll, 40% of registered voters (up from 33% last month) now say inflation is “the most important issue to you when thinking about this year’s election” — more than four times the number for any other issue.

So ... basically the same as Nov 3, 2020, huh? Except even more so.

They assumed they’d win.

I really think this was so calculated after Hillary lost. The looked at things mathematically and said we need to up our game here, here and here.

The virus showed up and gave them an easy way to do that.

After losing in November last year in Virginia? They are that slow to face the new reality?

Sad that in a country of ~350 million people, assuming this poll is somewhat credible, 42% would still vote for a demented imbecile who can’t complete a sentence and craps in a diaper.

Nope.
Other polls have President Trump winning by a much bigger margin. This is Yahoo after all and its registered voters too.

DeSantis is the best candidate for President in 2024.

“...This is Yahoo after all and its registered voters too...”

It includes all the illegal aliens who get drivers licenses and are AUTOMATICALLY REGISTERED to vote. It is up to them and their conscience to check the box that says they are not eligible to vote. No other country in the world has such an insane voting system.

A vote for a Demonicrat is an act of treason against the United States of America.

You just KNOW it had to kill this reporter to write this.

The subtle jabs at Trump, almost as an afterthought now, is obligatory at best. Even when they are trying desperately to find SOMETHING positive to say to lift Biden in people’s eyes you can feel the fear setting in on what this means, both to them personally with inflation and a looming recession and politically to the utter bloodbath coming.

Them knowing those 7 million BS votes won’t even matter much in the next election when he is this far under water is just the icing on the cake for the “We told you so” cabal.

Schadenfreude baby, and I’m not too big of a man to admit it even though I’m going down like everyone else with the ship right now.

The survey of 1,541 U.S. adults, which was conducted from June 10-13

It's actually of adults and not necessarily registered voters, so it leans even further left.
