Biden job approval steady after midterms: survey
The Hill ^ | 12/08/2022 | Brad Dress

President Biden’s job approval rating is holding steady in the wake of the midterm elections, with around 43 percent of Americans still supporting him, according to a new Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll.

An October AP-NORC poll found a similar 43 percent approval rating for the president.

The polling shows there hasn’t been much change, at least for Biden, since the midterm elections, when Democrats exceeded some observers’ expectations — beating back a red wave in the House and capturing the Senate.

Taking a step back, Biden has dropped from a 48 percent approval rating a year ago and a 60 percent approval rating nearly two years ago, when he first assumed office, according to AP-NORC surveys.

Meanwhile, a Gallup poll published Thursday found Biden’s job approval rating at around 40 percent, the same as a survey in September.

In the new Gallup poll, 85 percent of Democrats approve of how Biden is handling his job, as did 37 percent of independents and 7 percent of Republicans.

We complain polls are always wrong, but sometimes we ignore the fact you state.

This is the boiling frog analogy. The suck isn’t happening as fast as it was so people are starting to accept it.

Joey, Fetterman, Warnock.

All fools who some how get elected even those a majority don’t approve of the presidents performance and somehow think adding more of a similar mold will improve things

Our country is full of the dependent class and growing bigger daily. Too many are here without any skin other than ours, in the game.

The headline at AP-NORC says: “Negativity about the president, economy, and direction of the country persists”. The Hill wanted to pump up Biden with its own biased headline.

I think these polls would be dramatically different if any of the respondents could name one, just one, of the Big Guy’s accomplishments before their opinion is counted . . .

I think it was Rush that coined the phrase “low information voters”. That’s what we have here.

I wonder if its complacency. No faith in elections, same corrupt people in office, news is full of trashy scandal. With no example for leadership and no accountability, 43% sounds more like people giving up and saying they dont care anymore. When they answered the pollster, they probably just said, “yah, sure, whatever.”

Biden can have a minus job approval rating and he’d still get elected. We are a thoroughly corrupt nation
