The White House just put out a baffling polling memo
CNN Fake News ^ | 14 January 2022 | Lizard Boy

The White House wants to get something straight: President Joe Biden is unpopular. But he's not that unpopular.

Yes, really.

Witness a polling memo released Thursday night by deputy White House chief of staff Jen O'Malley Dillon that takes issue with a new Quinnipiac University poll that shows Biden's job approval at a meager 33%.

"This week's Quinnipiac poll, just like Quinnipiac's poll for the last five months, is very likely an outlier," writes Dillon.

As evidence, she cites the FiveThirtyEight running poll average (of all polls conducted) that shows Biden with an average job approval score of 43%. She blames Biden's low numbers in the Q poll on the higher-than-average percentage of people saying they "don't know" in response to the question of whether they approve or disapprove of the job Biden is doing." Concludes Dillon: "This is likely in part because Quinnipiac still exclusively uses a method called RDD (Random Digit Dialing, calling phone numbers at random) to collect data, a method which many major organizations have abandoned."

Which, maybe!

...abandoned in favor of calling mostly Democrats. Democrat oversampling seems to be standard practice now.

Five months is not an outlier. LOL

GWB’s speechwriter penned a scathing Op-Ed criticizing Biden for repeatedly morphing into a “victim” and invoking son Beau’s death...... but only when his political chips are down.

Op ed: ‘Biden is not a Gold Star father and should stop playing one on TV’...........

Beau Biden was a noncombatant lawyer reservist .......he died 15 years ago of brain cancer after returning home from a one year tour as JAG in Iraq.

Biden himself had six draft deferments for school and marriage during the Vietnam War, he never served.

Focusing on an outlier poll instead of the economy? Got it. Thanks.

In November 2021, Americans gave Biden a negative 36 - 53 percent job approval rating

Then Biden made a rousing speech about those horrid J6 people “threatening democracy.”

Et voila..... today Biden has an even LOWER negative 33 - 53 percent job approval rating.

Biden’s Georgia speech on voting laws that legalize fraud
to elect Democrats made it clear: voters are filth. Biden must be obeyed......or else.

That should send his numbers into a precipitous nosedive.

Biden’s speeches reveal what he thinks of Americans.

He is deeply disappointed in the country and annoyed with those who live here.

Biden doesn’t cajole voters. He harangues and berates them. He patronizes them and issues threats. You cause the corona pandemic. You’re stupid and selfish.

During his entire first year in office, Joe Biden did virtually nothing to improve the actual lives of actual American citizens. And he didn’t because he didn’t even really try.

Making voters happy is not a feature of the Biden equity agenda. Punishment is the point of the equity agenda, inflicting pain on the right people, dispensing rough justice, meting out reparations by other names.

Piglosi’s desperation is showing. Her vote fraud bill treats voters of all persuasions as if they just fell off a turnip truck.

Piglosi’s misnomered “Freedom to Vote Act,” includes tax dollars to finance a permanent Dem majority, a 6-1 matching funds giveaway,“ ONLY FOR candidates meeting specified fundraising criteria.”

AND WE ALL KNOW ONLY PURE-HEARTED DEMOCRATS QUALIFY.....SNX

Democrats are terrified of even the barest of security measures.......even requiring a simple photo ID scares the beejesus out of ‘em.

So if Dems think the “right to vote” is so sacrosanct that they gladly destroy the norms and rules of the Senate, you’d think a minimum effort to protect voting integrity would be the least a Dem would support.

Unless they planned to cheat….......

Truth is that his ratings were never high. He could barely draw flies on the campaign trail last year and media routinely outnumbered actual interested supporters.

The notion that this guy could have gotten 15% more votes than the Obama-God is ridiculous...and anyone with a brain knows it.

It doesn’t matter. The results are out there, and you’ll all have to suck it.

Every point downward was a point of your own making, Biden.

You didn’t have to do all the crap you did to piss off the American people and go over to the Squad’s/Pelosi wing’s politics of personal destruction, finger-pointing, and phony morale outrage.

You could have united—or at least tried—the country, by making policies and rules to help us all, whether your hatred for Trump and Trump supporters have blinded you all from logic and reason, time will tell.

Joe, without any self-reflection on YOUR failures, you’re just an old man yelling stupidly and a loser.

article:
"This is likely in part because Quinnipiac still exclusively uses a method called RDD (Random Digit Dialing, calling phone numbers at random) to collect data"

This is so unlike the data scientists at CNN et al who select their random samples "scientifically" from lists of registered Democrat voters.

Why have there been no headlines about Joe Biden saying yesterday: "It only matters who counts the votes!"??

Somebody should have noted that it was Uncle Joe Stalin who first said:

“Those who cast the votes decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything. – Stalin,”

As a Democrat, when you've lost CNN...

To be more specific, when you've lost a fat bastard hack like Chris Cillizza...

It’s an outlier, for all of the past five months?

That’s no longer an “outlier.”

If they can’t see reality their solutions will be less effective than otherwise. so, this is good in a twisted sort of way.

They love making up favorable polls....

Old Vietnam era magazine cartoon showing a general at his desk, pen in hand and an underling.

General: “What day of the month were you born, soldier?”

Soldier: “The 7th, sir.”

General: “Fine. The number of confirmed Vietcong dead this month is 7,000.”
