What's Behind Biden's Record-Low Approval Rating?
FiveThirtyEight ^ | July 15, 2022 | Geoffrey Skelley

In games such as golf, you win by scoring lower than any of your opponents. But in the realm of presidential job approval, such an approach is a recipe for political upheaval, as President Biden has found over the past few months. Polls continue to show his approval rating in poor shape, and even Democrats are asking questions about his political future amid broad dissatisfaction with the current state of the country.

In fact, Biden is dancing with a bleak bit of history: His approval rating of 39 percent1 is now the worst of any elected president at this point in his presidency since the end of World War II, according to FiveThirtyEight’s historical presidential approval data. In other words, Biden is arguably in worse shape than any other elected president heading into his first midterm election, including his four most recent predecessors, who, like Biden, were operating in an increasingly polarized political climate.

But it is the best approval rating of any unelected President.

This question is stupid! The question is why any approval rating over 1% is possible!

Yes. I read yesterday that it was 29%. So what’s this 39% nonsense.

What's Behind Biden's Record-Low Approval Rating?

His stupid, but also, hopefully, the indefensible totalitarian and oppressive policies of the Vile and Delusional Lying Left.

“What’s Behind Biden’s Record-Low Approval Rating?”

We could try counting the ways, but given the lying Biden-turd, that task would exceed even the abilities of Georg Cantor.

Nate Silver thinks that the Dobbs decision is going to help Democrats, and given the levels of ineptitude that the Republican party brings to the table, may be correct.

But it should not be the case. The Democrat position on abortion is far, far outside of the mainstream, and forcing Democrat candidates to articulate their view is a losing proposition for them. Of course the media will fly air cover, but whenever possible, Republican candidates and media should force them to speak to the issue. Every time they reveal their true opinion, it turns off a wide range of voters.

“He’s a nice man who loves his family.” - a female relative of mine explaining her vote for Biden over Trump.

And women wonder why some people think they shouldn't vote.

An 84-Year-Old Hispanic woman I know voted for him because "Trump is Racist".

I said President Trump is not racist.

She said: "Yes he is. They reported it on the television."

He’s an arrogant jerk, not too bright, and a lousy liar. A bad combo all around.

Gee, I wonder why..maybe it has to do with calling roughly half of the country “white supremacists”, insisting “white supremacy” is the “greatest threat facing our country”, not being able to define what a woman is (or isn’t), spending like a drunken sailor and policies (such as his “war on oil”) that’s led to the worst inflation of the past 40 years..among way too many other reasons to begin to list.

Aside from that, he’s just swell.

They can just call themselves Ukranians and Congress would approve it, no questions asked

Believing what is heard on television is about like believing what you read on the Internet.

Skepticism is a fading skill, being overwhelmed by cynicism.
