Biden’s job rating is similar to Trump’s but lower than that of other recent presidents

Nearly two years into his presidency, Joe Biden’s job rating stands at 38% – identical to Donald Trump’s approval rating at a similar point in his presidency, but lower than those of some other recent presidents in the run-up to their first midterm election.

The trajectory of presidential job approval differs for each White House occupant. Biden began his presidency with majority approval: In March 2021, 54% of Americans approved of Biden’s job performance, and his rating rose to 59% a month later. But his popularity declined sharply last summer and has been in the low 40s or high 30s since then.

Didn't Bush 41 have an 89% approval rating in 91 after the Gulf war?

There’s a stark difference though. Trump was presiding over the best economy in decades while Biden has made the economy a train wreck.

Wait until the people who still approve of Biden get their first heating bill for the winter.

Other differences are, Biden has like 99% favorable cvering from fake news, while President Trump had like 99% Unfavorable covering from fake news.
Plus the polls from fake news are tilted for Biden and were tiled against President Trump.

There’s another difference, which is the 24/7 nonstop coverage of the Hillary hoax “Russia! Russia! Russia!” lie, in addition to uniformly hositle coverage and Gotcha! questions, vs. fawning softballs, endless mulligans, and viscious censorship of Hunter’s criminal conduct (and The Big Guy’s likely knowledge and participation). Against this backdrop, they’re only tied. Imagine the outcome if media coverage had been objective, nevermind if Trump had been boosted and Biden attacked and framed in criminal hoaxes.

We will see how unpopular Biden is during the mid-terms.

Trump’s ratings were dictated by the left-wing media, who were not about to let him get any kind of poll that reflected how well Trump handled his job.

Biden’s rating would be around 10-20%, if not for the left-wing media which needs to keep Biden’s rating somewhat ‘respectable’ and close to what they had given Trump.

This is BS ka-ka poll in the odious plume of CNN by Pew-Pyoo fecal brains.

Trump’s early 2018 numbers surged past 40% overall while above 50% in 17 states.

His previous 2017 numbers were low because of unrelenting BS thrown at him by the Fake News syndicate.

Once people saw the lies of Russia Russia Russia and the sham impeachment, they became aware of who and what were the true toxins in American politics.

Hence, Trump surged in acceptance and popularity as he showed he would not back down while emerging as an American Churchill that Americans had not seen before.

Trump would not stop pushing for funding the Wall on the southern border. The American people saw they finally had a fighter who was showing the way.

The control of the border emerged in clear view, the economic policies made sense, the rising respect around the world for the new America leadership put Trump’s numbers into an upward trajectory that continued into the years ahead.

Trump worked hard to have the GOP win and retain the Senate in 2018. He also had the House on 2018 election night but Pelosi’s election thieves pulled a massive ballot harvesting to flip 18 GOP wins into the Democrat column. The Democrats took the House by a razor thin margin which just doesn’t happen in a midterm for a 38% approved President (CNN BS numbers).

This comparison of Biden in 2022 Midterms with Trump in 2018 Midterms is complete crap.

The difference is the daily tongue bath Biden gets from the press, while Trump was routinely slandered and abused by the media.

Hillary already won, the election will be for show - That’s what the polls said. Trumps approval never went below 50 and anyone says different - they are full of shit !

The only difference is, President Trump lost his ass fighting off the Obama Commies and DOJ butt boyz during his “presidential experience” while Pedophile Jo “Da Big Guy” cleaned up and increased his nest egg during his.

And the media has propped up and covered for Biden while they beat the “Hate Trump” drum incessantly.

This is b.s. With Prez performance polls, only “strongly” approve / disapprove numbers really matters, and Biden never got more than 22-23% “strongly approve.”

Trump, otoh, consistently polled “strongly approve” in the 33-42% range, which was higher than Obambi’s numbers, which were mostly in the low-mid 30s, except for his first and last months in office (which never reached higher than 41%).

As for “strongly disapprove,” Biteme has been in the 44-50% range. Trump peaked at 48% in Oct 2020 (full-on election attack), but was otherwise in 40-44% range most of his presidency. Obambi managed 38-41% range throughout, although I’d guess it was much higher (and Trump’s lower) due to polling stigmas (respondents not wanting to be seen as racist for opposing Obambi or for supporting Trump).

This is reassuring since I need two jobs to make up for Joeflation and Joestockcrash.

A ridiculous comparison to Trump’s approval ratings. Trump was attacked mercilessly, non-stop, 24/7, by the media and so many others out to destroy his presidency. Biden has endured none of what Trump went through. If the press were honest, if our traitorous Republican senators and congressmen would do their jobs and actually function like a viable opposition, Biden’s approvals would be in the single digits.
