Six-point decline in approval since June...
Before this month, his ratings had not shown meaningful variation during his time in office...
The new rating is from a July 6-21 Gallup poll, which also finds that 45% of U.S. adults disapprove of Biden's performance and 5% do not have an opinion. It comes at a time when U.S. progress in fighting the coronavirus has stalled, with vaccination rates slowing and case levels now rising. The economic recovery continues, with unemployment declining and stock market values near record highs. But consumers are paying higher prices for gas and other goods. Biden has also struggled to deliver on his promise of greater bipartisanship, although negotiations on an infrastructure bill continue in the Senate.
Biden's approval ratings are marked by extreme party polarization, which has become the norm for presidential approval in recent years. Currently, 90% of Democrats, 12% of Republicans and 48% of independents approve of the job Biden is doing. His ratings among Democrats and independents are the lowest to date among those groups. The new poll marks the first time he has less-than majority approval among independents...
The roughly three-percentage-point drop in Biden's average approval rating between his first and second quarters is typical for recent presidents...
Looking ahead, presidential approval ratings have been more likely to decline rather than increase during presidents' third quarters in office. Obama had the largest drop, of nearly 10 points...
Biden's approval rating is showing the first signs of meaningful decline. If the lower ratings persist, it could indicate his "honeymoon" period is over. Because Republicans have been unlikely to support him from the beginning of his presidency, changes in his approval are likely to come from Democrats' and independents' evaluations of him. That is what has occurred now.

Should that read “rises to”...............
But...but...80 million people voted for him over that meanie Trump!

Oh please, there’s no way his approval ratings are at 50%. They are most likely in the 35-40% at the highest, and even that is stretching things.
For Rasmussen, and, non-Rasmussen. Thanks.
POS Obama was/is the worst. And he’s still actively doing what he can, in various capacities. to destroy America.
Obama is as evil as anyone who ever walked the face of the earth.
It’s hard for us to imagine, but Biden did get millions of votes, even accounting for the fraud. I have to agree that the US is basically screwed. The government school system has done its job in brainwashing generations of students.
“He is the theft president”
I believe the Maricopa ballot-count results should be made public within 10 days. Then you will really start to see Biden’s numbers crater.
Good post.
Obama is as evil as anyone who ever walked the face of the earth.
It’s a 50-50 country. Why would it be hard to believe that 50% of the population approves of Biden? “Approve” doesn’t mean “love” or “be enthusiastic about.” It just means Democrats agree with him, about half of independents like him better than Trump, and some other people are slow to disapprove of presidents. Consider the news media they follow (if they follow any at all) and what is reported there and it’s not hard to understand why something like half the country might “approve” of Biden.

“If he was at 50% where is the audience?”
Three of the six people that came out to hear him campaign still support him.
It would be if the press reported things even halfway accurately...of course he wouldn’t even be President now if they did that.
Joe’s still around after 6 months in office. I’m pretty amazed.
We make a mistake by mocking Biden’s small audiences. Part of the Democrat’s winning the 2020 election was successfully hiding Biden for the entire campaign. We saw snippets of his worst moments on the Internet. Democrats never saw them unless they happened to catch the activity live because the propaganda media never showed them again.
Biden did not get 71 million legal votes but he did get tens of millions of legal votes, many of which he may not have gotten if people who watch only the propaganda media had seen him at his dementia moments, or even at his racist statement moments.
You are likely correct, but don’t forget that 50% of our country is generally clueless and don’t care all that much about politics so I am not sure how relevant polls like this are to begin with before we even factor in the “bump” that the leftist media/big tech give them.
I would submit that it is and will go lower. I doubt we will see it reported much though.
That “Town Hall” with CNN the other day was a complete joke. While I don’t think Joe is as popular as CNN says he is, to get lower ratings than regularly scheduled programming on the other networks was a complete shock that few seem to have noted. Hell, I figured a lot of folks would watch just to see the wreck, but they didn’t.
Like him or not, it’s hard to get more “news” than a town hall with the Chief Executive. Despite that fact, he did not even beat out regular punditry news crap on other networks!
