You’ve probably noticed a barrage of approval rating polls being released in the past month or so, and nearly all of them show Joe Biden as a president for the ages. We’ve seen such high numbers as 60% approval in some surveys. Perhaps Biden is just that much of a unifier, despite pushing the most radical, divisive agenda in modern history? Or perhaps there’s something else going on with these polls.
Yeah, it’s the latter.
D+31 sample. https://t.co/kAfgbwrFYg

Random thought, but if your sample is coming out to a raw D+31 sample, perhaps there’s something wrong with your pool that you are originally drawing from? Are they just calling people in blue states? Further, if you look at the internals, they only weight the poll to D+9, while the 2020 election was Biden +4. The margin was even smaller in the vote totals for the House, for example. In other words, the country much more evenly divided than shown here, but according to these pollsters, we are in a new era of peace and unity.
The purpose of this is clear: to push a narrative of inevitability going into 2022 for Democrats. Approval polls can hide behind the idea that they apply to all Americans and not just voters, yet their only real use is in serving as a data point for upcoming elections. We see this every cycle. Polls with ridiculous samples showing Democrats wrecking shop. Then as the elections get closer, the samples start to get whittled down more.
This isn’t “un-skewing” polls, a process some have been prone to criticize where you try to guess at voter turnout and make Democrat and Republican samples even. Rather, it’s nothing that the electorate has been fairly stable the last two cycles (Trump lost by around the same slim margin he won by in 2016), and if a recall on a poll sample is coming back over double Biden’s 2020 margin, it’s not representative or predictive. And if it’s not those things, then it’s useless as a data point.
We’ve seen these same crazy recall numbers when compared to 2020 in Marist, Morning Consult, and other polls released lately as well. They all, despite most of them getting 2020 so wrong, are simply doubling down on their methodology. Meanwhile, sites like 538 continue to hang “A ratings” on trash polls like Quinnipiac. It’s just a racket to push narratives at this point.
No, they’re trying. Trying hard to control reality.
“Your Majesty, your approval ratings are through the roof!”
“Really? Was someone consulted?”
Biden’s poll numbers will remain high along with the stock market. When the market crashes, watch out for falling bodies.
I am sure his ratings are very high with the hordes swarming the southern US border between Mexico and the US, with the CCP regime of China, and perhaps even with the ayatollahs of Iran. Not so much with a very large part of the people of the United States.
Of course, among those who have already drunk the Kool-Aid, his popularity never waned, nor waivered in the least.
The Media and the DNC are one. They tell the truth if it is of no consequence. They lie like hell if needed to support their common cause of socialism and Marxism.
THEY LIE! It is really that simple.
ps
Where do we go if our great nation fails? I would suggest to our guns in defense of our great constitution. Defending our great Constitution is most honorable.
Pretty sure that is NOT how to spell “SOREASS”. JS......
Approval over 100%. Just like percentage of voters that voted for him.
I’d believe Rassmussen polls before any others.
I’m sure Bidens approval numbers are higher than God’s.
Pollster probably on strong drugs, cnn, or some other communist organization
I take it the poll didn’t include anyone who used to work on the Keystone Pipeline?
You’re right, a compliant media and a record Dow mean high President ratings. Globalist tycoons with their central bank enablers doing leveraged buyouts of all American business is just fine with the public as long as their 401K balance goes up.
Conservatives are just eating sour grapes. The can’t stand Biden being so popular. Just wait until Camala is in office with a 103% approval rating.
To be fair.
Could be worse.
The pollsters are smoking weed.
Could be raining.
24/7 positive news from the MSM doesn’t hurt either...
