How Has Joe Biden Become So Unpopular?
The New York Times ^ | Sept. 4, 2021 | Jamelle Bouie

Posted on 09/05/2021 12:11:38 PM PDT by Trump20162020

President Biden’s job approval rating is on the downslope. As of Friday morning he was at 45.8 percent approval and 48.5 percent disapproval — from a high of 54 percent approval, 41 percent disapproval at the end of his first 100 days.

There is a laundry list of reasons for this. Not only is the United States still in the grip of a pandemic, but also the Delta variant of the coronavirus has led to record infections and deaths in Florida, Texas and other states with relatively low vaccination rates (and where officials have taken a stand against mitigation efforts). At the same time that Delta took hold, Biden also faced a huge backlash from the press and his partisan opponents over the American withdrawal from Afghanistan, which began in chaotic fashion with the collapse of the Afghan National Army, the subsequent advance of the Taliban and of course the suicide bombing in Kabul that killed 13 U.S. service members.

Note the brilliance of the editorial staff of the NYT. They think that COVID deaths translate directly into anti or pro political brownie points. That is so past tense. COVID 19 is a world wide crime against humanity, caused by the CCP, and enabled in this country by their paid operatives, Biden and the Democrat Left. Fish should object to being wrapped in this fetid rag.

I know some people who only consume propaganda media such as the New York Times who think they are extremely well informed. Perhaps the people who work for the New York Times themselves only consume propaganda media. Plausible deniability is not a positive characteristic for a supposed news agency.

I wonder how many people at the New York Times do not know about Bagram airbase? I was with a group of NYT, PBS, CNN. Etc., consumers last week who had never heard of Bagram though we were discussing Biden’s leaving Afghanistan.

They start out the article with a hit piece on Forida and Texas. They cannot help themselves.

They are really getting good at cramming three or more pieces of propaganda into a single sentence.

Biden never was “popular”, respected or “well liked”.

He was popular among blacks, largely because he was Obama's Veep. Enthusiastic black voters gave Biden his key primary wins.

Sanders had white Bernie Bros and AOC socialists, Warren appealed to Hilary's Pumas, and Buttigieg had a niche following among progressive elitists. And nobody liked Harris.

But it's true that, apart from blacks, Democrats didn't actually like Biden. They merely hated Trump.

All the drama about Afghanistan and Covid is not going to kill the Biden Democrat’s politically. American voters have demonstrated time and time again attention spans shorter then a fruit fly’s life span.
Economic mismanagement is what actually killed Carter’s political career. It will destroy the Biden Democrat’s as well.

The lying about inflation is what going to kill them politically. No matter how hard they cook the books.
families are seeing heir earnings being eroded away by the out of control inflation. When American start feeling the hurt in their pocket book is when they get angry.

Shipping costs have seen a 30% inflation this year. That means there is a 30% inflation across the board. Wages are not keeping pace with that inflation rate.

The results is every year the Biden Democrats are in office US Citizens are going to be feeling the hurt more and more no matter how much the Government massages the numbers to lie about real inflation.

Joe is the only person I know that has been able to take his standing as being on the bottom of the barrel and manage to kick through the bottom and tunnel further down. He’s got to be hitting oil soon.

He was never popular in the 1st place.

I doubt he got 30,000,000 votes.

I don’t understand how people can be so totally disconnected from reality.

Unfortunate, but a great observation.

He was NEVER popular. He lost the election in a landslide.

Being the beneficiary of an increasingly PROVEN to be stolen election,
doesn’t help one’s popularity very much.
