Joe Biden's approval rating simply hasn't moved in six months
CNN ^

Posted on 07/26/2021 1:31:05 PM PDT by Eleutheria5

(CNN)President Joe Biden's presidency is now six months old. You'd be forgiven if you didn't realize how long Biden has been in office because Biden doesn't generate anywhere near the same news interest (see Google searches) as his predecessor, former President Donald Trump, did.

The lack of a topsy turvy first few months has translated to Biden's approval rating. It's been the most stable for any president since the end of World War II. This, indeed, has been the story of the Biden presidency from a popularity standpoint. At every point at which I've checked in to see how Biden is doing from a historical perspective, nothing seems to shake his approval ratings. Right now, Biden's average approval rating rests at around 53%, no matter how you calculate said average. Over the course of Biden's first six months in office, his approval rating has never risen above 55% or fallen below 51% in an average of polls. It was 53% in April and 54% in May. To give you an idea of what a narrow lane Biden's approval rating is in, you only need to look at history. Prior to Biden, the average range for post-World War II presidents in their first six months in office was 14 points. Biden's range is less than a third of that. Nearly every other president saw his maximum and minimum approval rating differ by about greater than 7 points or more. (Lyndon Johnson's gap was about 5.5 points.) Former President Donald Trump's range was 10 points, and he was thought to have an approval rating that was historically stable. Biden, though, hasn't really picked up any new supporters since the election. His approval rating matches his vote share (51%) and favorable rating in the exit polls (52%) nearly perfectly.

No mystery. They make up/manipulate the polling data, just like they were doing before the election, and just like they did with Hillary. But even if you put lipstick on a pig, nobody's going to want to make out with it. Even a lie must have some basis in truth. So they have to give him a credible range. And here we are.

And to think, even with fabricating and manipulating the data, they still can’t help the guy.

Things must be really, really rotten.

MSLSD has had him at an 85% approval rating every month since November 1972.

message sent to US citizens: no amount of failure, obvious mental decline, or outright betrayal of American interests will move Joe’s poll numbers downward. Just not gonna happen. So quit hating on Joe!

Driven by the media on both accounts. Biden's scandals get zero coverage - which are very real scandals - and the fake scandals like Russia invented by the press were wall to wall coverage - creating a firestorm of constant negative news coverage...whereas with Biden, everything is reported as stable and beautiful while reality the world is falling apart under his tenure.

I could believe it's fixed if I saw polling numbers off by 10-20 points and proved inaccurate, like dozens of recent presidential state polls. Pretty easy to skew a poll, in fact it's commonplace.

That's the first thing I thought of.

I'm still trying to think of a good reason to take the time to post a lie from CNN.

If that’s the case, why do INGSOC-CNN’s ratings stink?

From the CNN article:
“You’d be forgiven if you didn’t realize how long Biden has been in office because...”
You’d be forgiven for not knowing lots of things, based on the fact that you are dumb enough to watch CNN.

It hasn’t moved because they’re not really polling. They’re pulling a number out of their ass, and just throwing it out there to see if people will buy it. If they actually did poll they would see the better part of 330 million people doing a collective facepalm.
