Biden’s approval rating flips for the first time amid Afghan crisis
NY Post ^ | August 21, 2021 | by Mary Kay Linge

The honeymoon’s over.

President Biden’s job approval has flipped for the first time in his presidency amid the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, with more Americans now disapproving of his performance in office than supporting it, according to the RealClearPolitics polling average.

The measure, which combines the results of recent national surveys, pegged Biden at 48.6 percent disapproval — nearly a full percentage point greater than the 47.8 percent of Americans who said they still approve of his performance.

The negative polling average included this week’s Reuters/Ipsos survey, which saw Biden’s approval rating plunge by 7 points in the wake of the swift Taliban takeover.

Biden, who enjoyed a 20-point approval edge in the early days of his presidency, has seen that level of support slowly erode.

Biden stumbled repeatedly Friday as he took his first questions from reporters on the Afghanistan crisis.

If the “ polls “ indicate these negative percentages on Biden, then you can safely divide them by at least 2.

They must have conducted their poll in Rio Linda.

You better figure that the media has doctored his approval rating. I doubt that Corn Pop's real approval rating is much above 30%, maybe 35%.

47.8% approve of his performance.... They are more brain dead than Biden is!

“I doubt that Corn Pop’s real approval rating is much above 30%, maybe 35%.”

Funny, that was my estimate also. I guessed that because half of the public has an IQ below 100. The percentage below 70, borderline retarded, are often solid supporters of whatever the current story is. The fact the story changes and is often 180 out from what it was last week never raises their suspicions. Now, not all liberals are this stupid. As a friend once said of something we were discussing, “Now that’s so stupid you’d have to be a college professor to believe it.” A lot of politically stupid people are very smart, doctors even, but they believe that since they know a lot in one area they are equally competent in all other areas.

He was always artificially propped up by the press. Scumbags. If they are showing him at 47% approval, bet on it 5% lower than that.

The true lesson of these polls is that it’s not Biden who is the greatest danger to the nation, it is the number of people who still support him and his “performance.”

That’s about right. 50% of the US population are complete morons.

Temporary dip. He'll be propped up by the media and swamp. Take a look a retired 4-star McCaffrey's latest twitter.

Barry R McCaffrey @mccaffreyr3 · 23h Pres Biden such a good and decent man. I am very glad he’s President and not that dangerous buffoon Trump. However, he is too old for all this. Very shaky. I fear for his health and stamina.

It's the COMPOST.

Biden's reported numbers have been static at 43% - 49% for the last six months.

I think his numbers are closer to 33 %

These days, it’s probably above 80%.
