Biden Approval Drops to 50%, Lowest for Him to Date
Gallup ^ | JULY 23, 2021 | JEFFREY M. JONES

Posted on 07/24/2021 9:07:36 AM PDT by BeauBo

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.

I said 6 months to a year. It’s a wreck, but I have to admit that they are controlling him much better than I thought they would or could.

Or Kamalamadingdong is such a train wreck that they’re trying to keep Joe going as long as possible.

Part of the Democrat’s winning the 2020 election was successfully hiding Biden for the entire campaign.

Wise analysis

This is what the media was peddling.

This is the view from the back of the auditorium.

The day before and the day of, there were a lot of radio commercials hawking this event. IF he is so popular, why did they have to hype this event and then play visual tricks?

“50%? Either they’re lying or the USA is screwed.”

They’re lying, and we’re screwed.

Because big media is fake. It's all choreographed, rehursed, and planned ahead of time. For years they've done the same thing with these protests and events such as Biden town hall. They zoom in on the crowd, closeups, making it appear to be a big crowd filling the screen. But when they pan out, or video it from a distance, it depicts a small, almost insignificant group of people.

Trump is right, they're vile and fake. They even adjust their $#@*&!$* cameras to push their lies and narratives.

Among those 50% that supposedly approve I doubt if 10% of them could pick Joe out of a lineup. Mark Dice did one of his interview shows on a college campus and found that they did not have a clue what Joe had done before becoming President even though he gave them a big hint that he had a very important job for 8 years.

Funny how Trumps barely made it to 50% in his 4 years, but this joke is at 50%? My my how the 81 million votes have turned.

I figured a year.

Somebody came back at me and said he be gone in 4 months.

I’ll still give it a year. He will not be article 25 removed either. It’ll be from a stroke or something like that.

50-50 country so poll might be accurate...

I am afraid I totally agree with you.

Better to face the reality that much of the US is filled with “mind-numbed” “mush headed” robots, as the great Rush Limbaugh of Blessed Memory said on many occasions.

We make our jokes about the cruel decline of Biden’s cognitive skills but others think Biden is a fine president.
Nothing is wrong according to the biased media they believe.

Example: many actually believe the lie referenced on another thread today when Biden earlier said he isn’t going to allow his Administration to let the unaccompanied migrant children “starve to death” as no president “except for Trump” did. Outright LIE but Americans ignore that. They think Trump let them die!

Get out of the bubble. Minorities, youth, single white women, LGBT, government workers (except police) and other groups all support Biden strongly. Plus people who are happy to receive free money.
His approval is 45% at a minimum.
