President Biden joked earlier this month that he doesn’t follow his poll numbers "anymore."
In an appearance on the late-night talk shows, Biden quipped to "Tonight Show" host Jimmy Fallon that he kept an eye on his approval ratings earlier in his presidency, "but now that they’re in the 40s, I don't pay attention."
All kidding aside, it would be understandable if the president avoided closely watching his polls as his once solid numbers have slid five straight months.
Biden’s approval rating hovered in the low to mid 50s during his first six months in the White House. But the president’s numbers started sagging in August in the wake of Biden's much criticized handling of the turbulent U.S. exit from Afghanistan and following a surge in COVID-19 cases this summer among mainly unvaccinated people.
The plunge in the president's approval was also fueled by the surge since the summer in consumer prices and to a lesser degree the surge this year of migrants trying to cross into the U.S. along the southern border with Mexico.
By mid-November, Biden's approval had sunk below 40% in two well-known national polls from ABC News/Washington Post and Quinnipiac University.
There is a slight uptick in some of the most recent surveys. Biden stood at 47% approval and 51% disapproval in the latest FOX Business poll, 48%-52% in the most recent CNN survey and slightly back above water at 48%-46% in a Reuters/Ipsos poll. But his average heading into the end of his first year in the White House is nothing to brag about.

$3.50 a gallon gasoline will do that to an approval rating. Let’s Go Brandon!
slowly?
I predict $10 gasoline by this time next year.
As Klaus Schwab says, we will have nothing, and we will like it.
Or else.
As Joey told Bammy, ignore the polls. Everyone wants to have sex with him.
At least Trump's gone, so everything's peachy, right Fox?
The numbers have only gone up because pollsters have changed how they ask the questions
And skewed the weighting of respondents

his disapproval is nearly tied for its all time high, and his approval (42.9)is still near the lowest ever Nov 23rd of 41.3
thats what i thought...gotta be the fastest unraveling on record...
It’ll be higher in New York and California.
the average includes Reuters “adults” poll which pads his numbers a bit. He would be closer to a 40 average without that “Adults” poll
Psucki’s excuse:
Joe’s approval didn’t drop at all. “Climate change” caused the water levels to rise above his rating.
But more votes than anyone in history!
Jen Psnarky.
One reason: Afghanistan. The Babka can’t back down. Ever.
( I don’t pay attention )
Sure can’t let that American public opinion get in the way.
Corrupt pervert biden joked earlier this month he’s not the legitimate President.
Ain’t no danged way he is even near 48% approval.
Joe gave out a LOT of dough in stimmies and child care credits this year. That buys some votes.
