Biden disapproval hits new high as voters give him bad grades on economy, new CNBC/Change poll says
CNBC ^ | January 4, 2022 | Thomas Franck

President Joe Biden’s disapproval rating hit a new high in December as more voters signaled their unhappiness with his administration’s supervision of the economy and the Covid-19 pandemic.

Fifty-six percent of voters now say they disapprove of the job Biden is doing, the worst such reading of his presidency as he approaches the end of his first year in office, according to new CNBC/Change Research polls. Prior polls in the series showed Biden’s disapproval rating at 54% in early September and 49% in April.

Biden’s approval rating is now at 44%, down from 46% in September and 51% in April.

The latest sign of trouble for Biden comes as his administration looks to tackle a wide range of economic and political problems ahead of the 2022 midterm elections, which will decide the balance of power in Congress.

The White House is scrambling to quell fears about price acceleration and inflation, resurrect the president’s Build Back Better climate-and-family legislation, and rejuvenate the country’s public health response as the omicron variant drives a new spike in Covid cases.

Frustrations over the economy are the main culprit behind Biden’s flagging popularity as nearly every demographic declared it their No. 1 issue.

The economy was the top priority for men and women, every age cohort, Latino and white voters, and those with and without college educations. Black respondents, who named racism their chief priority, said the economy takes second place.

Sixty percent of the survey’s 1,895 respondents said they disapprove of Biden’s handling of the economy, marking a six-point decline in approval from September.

On personal economic issues, voters are even more likely to criticize the president. Some 72% disapprove of his handling of the price of everyday goods, while 66% disapprove of his efforts to help their wallets.

With the pencil-whipping and torturing of numbers they are doing, his real approval is probably in the low 20’s. That’s still scary. That means that there are millions of people who believe that this senile old crook can be President. Wow.

I wonder how long the Marxist domestic enemies can keep up this scam. The occupation is not going well for them at all. They can twist the propaganda all they want, get the brain dead Avatar they placed in the Oval office to say whatever they want, but the people are seeing through it.

It’s getting harder for democrats to argue that biden is actually “tackling” issues. It’s becoming clear to many diehard supporters that the democrats policies are meant to destroy the country.

Per Rasmussen daily polling today, 19% strongly approve of Biden's performance as president. In same poll, he has an overall 40% approval.

IIRC, the 19% strong approval is the lowest ever recorded in the Ras poll.

From CNBC. Begs the question: What’s the REAL number.

Partner, the MSM wrote this article and as a rule of thumb I give them a minimum of 10 Points Down or Up depending on the situation.

Example: thee are 1.3 million new cases of COVID yesterday.

Stuart Varney mentioned this on his show and tomorrow there will be another 1 million cases. I watch Stuart Varney show every morning on the business channel.

Stuart Varney mentioned that the CDC will run out of people saying there are so many folks getting COVID. Begs the question: What’s the REAL number.

Pretty soon another statistic. Over 1 million folks a day not traveling.

It is getting to be very crazy spitting out a lot of numbers.

It took Jimmy Carter 3 years to fall on his face and still the MSM backed him.

The solution to Biden’s dismal approval numbers will be mail-in approval polls.

He’ll be at 100% in no time!

"....babs straysand has a different take on the economy.

These leftists are SO out of touch with reality they have become perhaps
the single greatest threat to human civilization.

Even more-so than global warming and and the impending collapse
of the Antarctic Thwaites glacier that is going to collapse next Wednesday
and destroy the world and all of humanity - and there is no escape.

So to say that leftists are WORSE than that is really saying something. IMO
