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.

Even those that voted “for” him were really just voting against trump. When I voted for McCain, I was certainly no fan. I just really couldn’t take Obama seriously.
Because even democrats have eyes and ears
Biden was only popular at 3:00 am on the morning after Election Day.
Other than that, he has never been popular.
I know! I know! I know! (hand waving madly in the air)
and and and Jamelle Bouie, the affirmative action columnist is simply too damn dumb to know.
Where is the key person to scream, “THE EMPEROR HAS NO CLOTHES!”?
Fran Liebowitz told the NYC elite that they didn’t know anyone as dumb as Donald Trump and they smugly believed it. I submit Donald Trump doesn’t know anyone dumber than Joe Biden with the possible exception of Jamelle.
The correct answer is, he was NEVER popular to begin with.
The Delta variant can get you even if you aren't vaccinated.
Also, are deaths in Florida and Texas now really at a "record" rate compared to what they were earlier and in other states? Florida does have high death rates now because of the aged population, but Texas seems thrown in for political reasons.
I hardly think COVID is the reason for Biden's declining popularity. If anything, his supporters eat up stories about how red states and the unvaccinated are to blame.
No, it's Iraq, the border, inflation, shortages, small business closings, general incompetence, etc. etc. Bouie doesn't deal with most of these things and talks about political polarization instead, offering up a bizarre theory about how voting restrictions cheated the US out of getting a socialist government 120 years ago.

"Liberal stupidity (based on Latin: stupēre or stupor; removal from sense or
sensibility) is statements, policies, or actions by adherents of liberalism which
are authoritative in form, but the end of which is devoid of reality or common
sense, with the general public in most cases forced to pay for them."
Brown noser.
They are dead serious…
Thanks for the straight line, sir!
Buyer’s remorse, in their complicity in the stolen election. And they don’t like Heels Up either.
LMAO
One supposes he got the shit sandwich assignment -- how apropos -- on a holiday weekend, with all his superiors busy packing up from high summer on Fire Island and Silverback Shatucket and Martha's Whineyard.
He was never popular.
Is this a trick question?
Even the Slimes can’t be this dumb.
The NY times thinks he’s a hero you know?
