Poll-dancing: Is Biden really at 49 percent approval?
American Thinker ^ | 17 Jul, 2021 | AZ Buck

Unlikely. Just look at how this poll was done.

Here are the biased numbers for the recent Economist-YouGov poll that gives Joe Biden a 49% approval rating. A first-year reporter could retrieve this information with ease, unless he were incompetent, lazy, or most likely biased. I guess most Dems are accustomed to living in such willful ignorance. They will swallow and pass along any talking point from the media elites if they are slanted against conservatives.

The Economist–YouGov poll July 10–13, 2021 — 1,500 U.S. Adult Citizens Registered 2020 Vote Party ID

Dem (324) Republican (235) Independent (260)

Ninety-nine more Democrats sampled vs. Republicans were included in the results. It is not hard to get the results you want if the polls are assembled in this way, and this is always the method with these polls.

A total of 819 from 1,500 participants. Does that mean the rest were dumped because they are not registered to vote or affiliated with a party? Were their answers included in the reported percentages? Were the others thrown out for having the politically wrong answer? I guess they just disappeared overnight. Where have I heard that before?

In North Korea Kim Jong Un gets 99.9% favorable ratings. Biden needs those tech giants to get people thinking the TRUTH or increase the budget and add more field offices for the Capitol Police.

49%? that is about 30% higher than an fully unbiased poll would have given to Joe Stolen and “Que mala” Harris.

I mean, the two of them give losers a bad name.

The fact that the democrats still support this lying crook is bad enough

Rasmussen Daily has had him at 49 % approval all week; his usual excursions are from 49-52 % during the week . This dates back several months when all the “big “polls had him close to 60 %.

If you went state-by-state....there’s probably a dozen states where the Biden approval rating is down around 20-percent. In some regions, if you showed a picture of VP Harris and asked people to identify her, some might even suggest that she’s a Kardashian ‘sister’.

And the huge crowd went wild with unrestrained excitement at the sight of Comrade Andropov. You’d better or they will put you in the gulag. Like when the current NK dictator’s father died and the crowds were told you had better be seen in unrestrained weeping or else.

Biden is no more at 49 than Bozo was all those times he was reported to be.

from the article: "A total of 819 from 1,500 participants. Does that mean the rest were dumped..."

More likely those 681 were all counted as pro-Biden votes, representing typical Democrat ballot-stuffing.
That's how Biden got up to 49% in this poll.

Ninety-nine more Democrats sampled vs. Republicans were included in the results.

The author seems to think R/D should be 50/50.

Based on party identification Republicans are over represented in this poll. The problem is Independents are under represented.

Party Affiliation:

Democrat - 30

Republican - 24

Independent - 44

Would that be a poll of Biden’s family?

My rent is so expensive!

Well then, don’t pay it. I’ll make sure you live rent free and that your local Democrats will force your landlady to make repairs under penalty of law.

The Trump Republican administration did that too.

Nice kids you’ve got there. Here’s $300 for each of them.

Polls can be useful in establishing trends, I think, but we know from recent presidential elections that they are not great at pinpointing absolute levels of support. Biden’s trend is very stable.

This 'gallup poll' is pure, 100% bullshit.

The question it axes is, "Do you consider yourself to be a D,R or I".

The real question should be, "Are you a registered voter and if so are you a D, R or I".

A registered voter can change parties, but it is a process not a feeling.
