President Biden’s Approval Rating Hits 61% in New Poll

[QUOTE]There’s a relatively wide partisan divide in early perceptions of Biden’s presidency, with an overwhelming majority of Democrats approving of his job performance and most Republicans disapproving. Still, nearly one-third of GOP voters — 31 percent — said they approve of Biden’s handling of his job.

👍 nice!

Fake News!

I think he is doing pretty good and has been surprisingly strong in some matters. I just wish he wouldn't have gotten that awful plastic surgery pull. I understand his desire/need for it but it is ridiculously tight and it hurts me to look at it.

It will look normal in six months, r4.

As for now: it's far less awful to look at than Trump's obesity, fake tan, and ridiculous comb-over.

The covid infection rate is lowering. It could be access to the vaccines have lowered the infection rate. I'm relieved. But I'm keeping the face mask indefinitely.

You'll get no argument there from me R5.

I think he’s doing a great job so far, and the Republicans have done absolutely nothing to show they would do things better.

The one mistake he can make to derail his presidency would be to pass this amnesty bill for illegal immigrants that the left wants him to pass.

He should get 100% just for not sitting on his ass upstairs watching TV and tweeting.

Better than (just about anybody) could have hoped for... so far. If he can get the COVID Relief bill passed intact... it's a home run for his first 100 days.

[QUOTE] The one mistake he can make to derail his presidency would be to pass this amnesty bill for illegal immigrants that the left wants him to pass.

It’s not an “amnesty bill,” R8.

R11 Call it whatever you want, put lipstick on a pig, the point is that if he signs it, the Dems will lose both houses in congress in a landslide in 2022. The American people do not want illegal immigrants to be given legal status as a reward for breaking our laws.

R12 Fake news, kiddo. 69% of Americans support the framework put forward in the immigration reform currently proposed.

R12 where were you on January 6th?

R14 He was sitting on his recliner eating Doritos. His ankles really swell with the diabetes and his mobility is poor.

That 31% from Repubs is pretty high.

I like the peace and quiet. I love waking up and not having the first thing I read on my phone be "Overnight, the President tweeted..."

I see the trolls that went around shouting “this just won trump re-election” before November are now going around shouting “this just won Repugs the midterms”

I think he's doing a good job so far. I am SO relieved that Trump is out of there.

Damn, thats amazing news.

Good for him. Now, if he could just get my reparation check to me before the weekend. I don't get decent pussy anymore without paying for it.

Yeah - but I see a lot of people complaining about the Syria air strikes and not passing the $15 min wage.

Already the left is trying to eat its own. He's only been in office a short while for crying out loud - and there was NOT a transition people normally expected.

Most federal agencies are most likely in a state of disarray after the previous 4 years.

Once again, Dems are left to pick up everything after the Republican houseparty is over.

Best vice-president ever.

Best president ever.

He will be re-elected and the 22nd Amendment, which was nothing but a Republican hatchet job against FDR's legacy to begin with, will be removed so he can be President for life like he deserves to be.

As far as I am concerned, we can get rid of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights and replace it with a single piece of paper that says "do as you're told."

Expect 100% support for his re-election in 2024, and expect anyone who so much as questions anything he does to be locked in jail for being a deplorable.

All criticism of Joe Biden is racist, sexist, Islamophobic, heterophobic, transphobic, and ageist.

It's great to have someone sane in the White House again. That Pres. Biden already has 31% approval from Republicans is encouraging too.

It's still hard to believe that 2016-2020 really happened.

Try harder, R22/R23. One wants a scalpel for these things, not a sledgehammer.

You do sarcasm like a kindergartener.

I agree r24. It feels wonderful to have Biden and Harris, both of whom are sane and competent professionals, in the White House. My anxiety level has decreased and I feel a sense of security, like many other people. Trump was so crazy and unpredictable and him being in charge during the worst pandemic in 100 years was very scary. So glad he's over and done with.

I'm not being sarcastic, R25. In fact, this source is reactionary tripe as is any source that has Biden's approval rating at anything less than 100%. Take your poorly-wiped deplorable ass back to Stormfront where it fucking belongs, boy!

[quote] It's great to have someone sane in the White House again. That Pres. Biden already has 31% approval from Republicans is encouraging too.

That there are still Republicans or any form of opposition to Democrats at all is discouraging. We NEED one-party rule now more than ever. I don't care if that was Nixon's re-election slogan. We need to go on the offensive. You're either for us or against us. Yes, I know George W. Bush said that but maybe it's time we started doing to white terrorists what he did to off-white ones.

Republicans are more reactionary and backward than ever. The fact that the overwhelming majority voted not to impeach Trump in spite of the appalling, disgusting actions that occured at the US Capitol speaks volumes. They are the enemy of any kind of progress and cater to the lowest elements of US society. Everybody else has just fucking had it with them. If the Republican Party doesn't change they're going to go extinct.

Keep pretending you're not deplorables, deplorables. We called your bluff already and you're still trying to pretend you aren't MAGA enablers.

Any source that has Biden's approval rating at less than 100% is right-wing and therefore treasonous terrorism. It is literally terrorism not to support Joe Biden.

When a loathsome piece of dogshit like Ted Cruz can achieve such prominence in the Republican Party you know things are beyond bad.

Joe Biden is a God-king among men. He can literally do no wrong. If he says something, that automatically makes it the gospel truth, and you will accept it as such or you will be prosecuted for treason and terrorism and put to death for it like the law fucking DEMANDS!

[quote]Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.

Support Joe Biden or die for terrorism against him.

he seems squinty in that photo, maybe he should step down

R33, watch your misogynoir. She will be President someday and you will support every war she starts.

Next on Misogynoir Alley on TCM...

War is not wrong when started by Democrats, especially when said Democrat has the most diverse cabinet in history. In fact, that makes it racist, sexist, homophobic and antisemitic to be anti-war. Syria isn't Vietnam, and neither were any of the other countries the US has bombed for social justice since 9/11.

War is progressive because all instruments of war are progressive.

This troll thinks she’s smart, but she’s really, very stupid

This hyperbole tactic may work on nazi forums, but it doesn’t work here

Yes, National [bold]Socialists[/bold] are indeed stupid.

Shut up, trumpnazi

Well, just think about it . . . not that surprising. Trump is an asshole, through and through.

Pandemic handling approval hits 65%.

Every day that passes things are getting better and better and those horrific Dump years will get farther and farther away. Perhaps the damage can be repaired after all but it will never be forgotten.

Mighty Joe Biden saved America.

It like we are living in a Democracy again, not North Korea. But higher stakes.

These same polls predicted that Biden and other Democrats would win in a blowout. Polls are mostly meaningless now.

Best vice president ever. Best president ever.

Straight white male liberals really are more progressive than everybody else put together.

And Malcolm X was a racist for his attacks on white liberals.

President Joe Biden and First Lady DOCTOR Jill Biden....

If it wasn’t for Joe Biden, Barack Obama would’ve been as reactionary as George W. Bush.

It might have been fun at first*, but trumps antics became exhausting. It’s such a relief not to have to think about the president multiple times a day.

.

.

*not to me and others who loathe him, of course

Approval polls mean nothing.

Yeah, the rapidly escalating gas prices are worth it not to have to hear his crap.

Rising gas prices are a good reminder to Americans that it’s time for us to move to electric vehicles.

Reuters has him at 59% now.

As tame as the media has been it's remarkable the approval isn't 90%

[quote] He will be re-elected and the 22nd Amendment, which was nothing but a Republican hatchet job against FDR's legacy

The things you look up and learn the reality about the claims you read a DL thread.

Looking it up I see both sides of the aisles in the houses of Congress supported the bill. 59–23 in the Senate and 285–121 in the House. When presented to the states for ratification ONLY Oklahoma and Massachusetts rejected the Amendment. Apparently a lot of democrats also had hatchets back in those days.

Just a guess. If FDR hadn't so blatantly lied about his fitness for a fourth term I doubt this would have passed so overwhelmingly. But dying 82 days into his term rather gave it away. To FDR's credit, at least a mild breeze never blew him away.

[QUOTE] He will be re-elected and the 22nd Amendment, which was nothing but a Republican hatchet job against FDR's legacy to begin with, will be removed so he can be President for life like he deserves to be.

If they repeal the 22nd Amendment, that means Obama might run again.

[QUOTE]Second and more importantly, presidential approval ratings in recent years have been a decent indicator of what will happen in the midterms. In the last four (2006, 2010, 2014, 2018), the incumbent president’s disapproval rating was higher than his approval, and in all four cases, the president’s party lost a sizable bloc of House seats. (The Senate results aren’t quite as tied to presidential approval.) The last time the president’s party gained House seats in a midterm election was in 2002, when George W. Bush had sky-high ratings in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. So, when we talk about the pattern that the president’s party nearly always loses congressional seats in the midterms, part of what seems to be happening is that the American electorate becomes somewhat disillusioned with a president after electing or reelecting him (or wants to check his power) and then backs the opposite party’s congressional candidates.

55%

Joe fell down the stairs of Air Force One, is welcoming the entirety of South America into our border so they can vote Democrat, has placed us on a warpath with Russia, held a press conference with cheat sheets and his approval rating has DROPPED to... wait, no, it hasn’t dropped at all. Still 61% in the same poll as OP. 😂

The rightwing doesn’t know what to do with Teflon Joe Biden.

R61 Considering how the election went, I don't know why anyone would trust any poll ever again.

Remember Biden was predicted to win in a major landslide.

He won Arizona and Georgia. As a Democrat. That WAS a major landslide.

The media worked overtime to make it seem like Biden barely squeaked by and the Democrats lost like crazy in downballot votes, but Dems hold all three houses, won in Arizona and Georgia as R64 already said, and Biden got 81.3M votes versus Trumps 74.2M. That's decisive.

I just got a chill thinking of last year at this time and being terrified Bernie would win the nomination and lose to Trump.

The republicans will probably win the House in 2022, thanks to redistricting and the usual losses of the party holding the White House.

The Senate will probably go republican too as Sununu looks like he is going to run for Senate against Hassan, and he will easily win, unfortunately. The Sununus are the Cuomos of New Hampshire. Yuck.

Biden is doing a terrific job, but he's got to get a lot more done before 2022. But there is always the chance, given how well he is doing, that he might sway some independent voters and keep the House by a seat or two.

The other wild card is Trump -- if he manages to put into place some really crazy candidates for House and Senate, the democrats will have a better chance.

I think Biden will be viewed as a modern day George Washington.

Republicans have, as always, overplayed their cards. Not being able to bring water to people standing in line is a bridge too far. American's will reject this overall.

[QUOTE] The Senate will probably go republican too

The Senate will remain in Democratic hands, R67.

[quote] The media worked overtime to make it seem like Biden barely squeaked by and the Democrats lost like crazy in downballot votes, but Dems hold all three houses, won in Arizona and Georgia as [R64] already said, and Biden got 81.3M votes versus Trumps 74.2M. That's decisive.

It WAS a squeaker despite the Democrats having a huge advantage not only with mail in ballots (where only "some fraud" took place) but in corporate fundraising. If we listened to the polls, it should have been a total blowout where Trump would have to retreat with his tail between his legs. Instead, he was able to convince nearly half the country that the election should be contested.

No r71. “Could” be contested. All he did was push the crazy.

R71’s post is complete nonsense. Trump convincing his lunatic fanbase that the election was stolen isn’t evidence of a goddamn thing.

I voted for Joe of course. But, to be honest, I wasn't expecting anything more than a stop gap. But he's been great so far. Really great.

[quote] Mighty Joe Biden saved America.

Yes R44 he will Make America Great Again.

Approval on Covid-19 strategy is 72%!

[quote] I think Biden will be viewed as a modern day George Washington.

What do you mean, R68? He's best seen in paintings rather than TV?

Interesting breakdown.

But, somehow, he’s underwater in the Rasmussen daily poll, which, also somehow, just happened to give Trump his best numbers.

R78 I've been saying from day one that Biden is doing a good job and the one thing he could do to wreck his presidency would be the amnesty they're trying to shove down our throats for the 4th or 5th time in 20 years.

People do not want more immigration.

The powerful Hispanic Democratic politicians want it, R80, so Biden must deliver.

R80 Biden is not only screwing up immigration but also on infrastructure. The economic impact will be disastrous.

And the vaccine was already being distributed during the Trump administration despite Biden trying to take full credit. I also don't think extending mask mandates and restrictions even after the majority of the population is vaccinated will be popular with most Americans.

[quote] Biden is not only screwing up immigration but also on infrastructure.

Tell us all about how Biden is screwing up infrastructure.

R84 It's basically a trojan horse for the Green New Deal. Energy costs will skyrocket and corporate taxes will be pushed onto regular Americans.

Link?

Bullshit r83. Trump left the administration with no plan to distribute the vaccine.

[quote] So, it appears that the Trump administration’s contracts with drugmakers did cover enough doses to vaccinate the entire U.S. adult population — and then some. By that measure, Biden’s statement is inaccurate.

The two vaccines were approved in December in record time. The article is being overly generous to Biden. It's a complete lie.

Biden is using Republican tactics against Republicans, taking credit for their achievements, flooding the courts, and jamming through legislation without them approving it. Now the shoe is on the other foot they find it uncomfortably tight.

R89 And yet moderate Republicans still voted for him for some reason.

[QUOTE] So, it appears that the Trump administration’s contracts with drugmakers did cover enough doses

Writing checks for vaccine doses and actually distributing and administering them to everyone in the country are two completely different things, R88. Your post does nothing to contradict R87’s statement.

R91 Over13 million people were vaccinated when Trump left office about a month after the vaccines were approved. The numbers of those who were getting daily vaccinations didn't drastically increase after Biden entered office. It steadily rose as expected.

Ummm no, r92. The administration was epically incompetent. From the NYT today (and of course the one person who tried to rectify the incompetence was also a crook):

The Trump administration was so slow to prepare for the coronavirus pandemic that a top aide to President Donald J. Trump took matters into his own hands.

That aide, Peter Navarro, Mr. Trump’s deputy assistant and trade adviser, personally steered hundreds of millions of dollars in contracts for pandemic supplies to politically connected or novice companies, a preliminary investigation by House Democrats has found.

Mr. Navarro sounded an early alarm about supply shortages, according to emails and other documents released by a House committee overseeing the federal coronavirus response. In a memo dated March 1, 2020, he complained that “movement has been slow.”

[quote] Biden/Cuomo 2024

Oh, dear!

Only 61%? I'm surprised.

[quote] Only 61%? I'm surprised.

It’s fallen since, from the ongoing crisis at the border that Biden created.

No, it hasn’t, R96.

Biden didn't create any crisis at the border.

Oh wow. The Q is strong in this thread...

So far, it's a pleasure. A President who does actual work, and though very ambitious, the Infrastructure Plan sounds great...like FDR's New Deal. I don't know how much will go forward, you know the repub opposition will be tough. I love the quiet, too...no stress from hearing or reading trump's tweets and bullshit.

As far a being the new George Washington?...well, his teeth does look wooden. Sorry, had to say it...lol. I like him and so far, very good.

*do^^

Another poll finds Biden at 61%!

The mainstream media is incorrigible. They go on and on about how Biden’s “immigration approval is sinking, sinking I tell you!” and then, buried five paragraphs down the article, they finally mention that his overall approval is 61%.

They’ll do anything to wring some fucking negativity out of a situation involving a Democrat. Is this supposed to score some brownie points with rightwingers? Show they’re fair and balanced? Guess what, ABC: they still fucking despise you. And now I do too.

Actually Biden is about +54, -39 in the poll of polls. Which is pretty good in such a divided country. The really shocking disparity is between Biden’s disapprove and Trump’s — a 15-20 point difference.

That’s the aggregate number, R105. There are two separate polls showing him at 61%, and he’s been there consistently through multiple polls from the same outfits now. Others show him lower, including Rasmussen whose bullshit numbers have him underwater, which drag his average down. So don’t “actually” me like you’re dropping knowledge.

At the moment the 538 average of polls shows Biden with an approval rating of 53.7

Of course you can pick and choose among the various polling companies.

Rasmussen...which 538 now grades as a respectable "B" for reliability... shows Biden at a 47% approval rating.

[quote]There are two separate polls showing him at 61%

One of those polls was Harris X on MAR. 24-26

The other was on MAR. 26-29 by AP-NORC (which 538 doesn't give a rating to, nor has ever shown up on their site)

Today BTW is April 5th.

And Harris X was also the poll used by OP, which came out in February. The one you quoted came out a month later and it showed.. drumroll.. Biden unchanged at 61%! So fuck you, and fuck Scott Rasmussen.

53.7%

On MAR. 27-30, YouGov which 538 rates at a B+ gives Biden a 48% approval rating.

You can pick and choose the polling company that gives the result you agree with...or you can go by the average.

It makes sense that his approval number would be in the low 50s, just slightly above his percentage on election day.

R104, it's supposed to make people watch. People tune into news programs when things are shitty, not peachy.

Biden is a better president than Obama. Obama played both sides against the middle and was very safe. He let Republicans take him down. Biden is very disciplined and aggressively pursuing his agenda. He’s not taking any bullshit from the GOP.

Go Joe!

How anyone can approve of this senile old fool is beyond me.

Looking in the mirror again, r116?

It’s great to have straight white liberal men back in charge again.

Everyone loves Joe. Feel the joementum!

R119, that is the most inane thing I have ever heard in my life.

It's okay r120. There will be bumps along the way, but overall this is starting to be a really good administration. It's a good thing.

Latest poll of 2,200 adults April 2-4 is 57-37. Polls look to be holding steady for Joe.

Are there still people that pine for the shittiest president in American history? Please tell me no.

R122 is practicing fuzzy math. Last time I checked, 57 was less than 61.

You cannot compare numbers from different polls, moron.

Did you read the signature, jackass?

Oh okay, my bad.

This disapproval rate is interesting. I think he won over some Dumpers, and a bunch more don’t dislike him, they’re just ambivalent.

[QUOTE] Are there still people that pine for the shittiest president in American history? Please tell me no.

Only when it comes to immigration. That’s Joe’s one weakness, and the rightwing noise machine is stirring up a frenzy with help from the mainstream media over the “border crisis.”

Both Harris-X and Rasmussen are GOP pollsters. So 47 from Rasmussen is not bad at all and 61 from Harris is shockingly generous.

4 million people got vaccinated on Saturday. An all-time high.

Of course there are going to be problems and setbacks for Joe Biden as there are for any administration. But on the vaccine he’s doing great. Trump sniffers just don’t have enough foul effluvium to inhale this go-round.

Same poll from OP has Biden at... drum roll... 61% still.

RCP Biden average with no significant negative media coverage 55.2.

It's funny how no one is talking about the fake "border surge" story anymore. CNN and MSNBC must be frustrated that viewers didn't care about it at all, and didn't blame Biden. They'll have to go back to Hillary's emails, I guess.

I believe the media is essential—but I also recognize we live in a capitalist society where the media is free and also needs to be profitable. We need to be smart consumers—I abhor the BS that Dump puts out there about the media being the enemy. They aren’t the enemy, they’re essential to democracy, but we have to understand that sensationalism sells. Until we get past that (hint—we won’t) we need support them in crazy times and non-crazy times and also be discerning.

It’s not fake, R134. It’s a terrible crisis and Biden better get things in order.

[quote] Biden better get things in order.

Joe palmed it off to Kamala. And she has totally ignored it.

R136, it’s only a crisis because Republicans are turning it into one. Joe has been hitting it out of the park. There’s not much they can do.

There’s plenty they can do. They can send the message that these people aren’t welcome here, for starters. Yes, Joe is doing great virtually everywhere else but on this one Mighty Joe isn’t looking very mighty.

Like that worked for Dump, right r139?

Joe is killing it so far. I've said that a few times on here now. I had a feeling he'd be better than I thought - but I really didn't think much to be honest.

For me? Those texts he sent Hunter were a huge revelation into Joe's character: The man is a good, good man. And not fake DC PR good.

Not too many people (myself included) could have been so loving and patient to an adult (son or not) that was so far down the rabbit hole. I would have given up and probably blown up at Hunter. Just out of the frustration and helplessness of watching someone I loved die more than out of any sense of cruelty.

That's who I want leading the US right now. Ethics and moral character matter, it seems, after all.

I think people are starting to realize that.

R141, Joe is really what Dump claims he was. Joe has his family’s back. He has our back.

I was never a fan of Biden. But I can’t believe what a good president he’s becoming. A real statesman.

Yes, he Mighty Joe has surpassed all expectations.

If you refuse to acknowledge any negative aspects of the administration and instead try to spin them as positives, then you are just a shill.

R139, I pray you see the light

There are no negatives though, R145. For the first time in decades, we are finally ruled by a progressive straight white male who isn't a fat slob. The Dems will claim 100% of congress in 2022 and Joe Biden will be re-elected with 100% of the popular vote. The electoral college will be history by then anyway and so will term limits, so get used to Mighty Joe Biden as President For Life! By the end of the decade, all "gay" "men" will finally be turned into heterosexual women and "lesbians" into heterosexual men by the universal healthcare we will finally have by that time. It's a win-win: no more Rethugs, no more racist transphobic cisf@gg0ts.

Joe Biden is a SAINT! An absolute SAINT!

We need to demand that the Vatican canonize him as one.

[quote] There are no negatives though

Which proves you are just a shill.

Calling those who recognize the inherent nobility of progressive straight white males and the fact that Joe Biden is incapable of wrongdoing for any reason whatsoever "shills" outs you as a deplorable Russian traitor, Boris R149. Either go back to Russia, fascist, or acknowledge not only that Joe Biden was the best vice-president ever but that he is the best President ever. It figures a racist transphobic cisf@gg0t like you would try to find fault with the faultless.

r150, do you get paid, or are you a volunteer shill?

Boris R151, do you get paid in actual rubles or just in vodka and borscht?

😂 Some people in here are upset that the daily anti-Biden invectives pushed on Fox News, Newsmax, and other righty media aren’t dragging the President’s poll numbers down the way they’d hoped. Your passive-aggressive shtick is not clever, and we can easily see through it.

Now go back to YouTube for more Tucker Carlson clips to tide you over. I know weekends must be miserable for you without him.

And keep pretending that Jimmy Dore isn't a reactionary just like Tucker Carlson. There's the reason only Fox News will indulge his reactionary blathering. He attacks progressives while claiming to be one himself. He thinks Israel is more of a threat than Russia and hides behind self-hating Jew Max Blumenthal to justify it just as he hid behind Chomsky and Bernie until both Chomsky and Bernie supported Biden.

All right-wing media will be illegal by the end of this year, and everyone involved with it on any level will be arrested, prosecuted, and convicted of the capital crime of treason along with the cryptoracist white fauxgressives whom they drag along to trot out the same old tired antiwar boomer talking points when in reality they only oppose the bombing of Syria because Kamala Harris is Black.

Neoliberalism forever!

R155, was that sarcasm? If not, please explain what it was because it was bad.

Opposition to war is racist and sexist when a Black Woman holds the nuclear codes.

War is progressive when the enemy is deplorable.

The fact that the opposition to war is led by people with lighter skin than those actually fighting the war speaks volumes. War works. War is social justice.

Bomb some more camel jockeys for me, Mighty Joe and Queen Kamala! Camel jockey means cracker and cracker means racist.

Syria can go fuck itself.

Oppressor classes deserve genocide to prevent them from committing it.

The entire Middle East and Arab world can go fuck itself.

R161: They are white and therefore racist so they deserve to be bombed, especially by a Black female vice-president who will be Queen of the World someday! When Joe Biden finally dies after several decades of being President for Life, Kamala Harris will take his place and turn America into an absolute monarchy. And I will support every single solitary war she starts, and you had better, too, or you are guilty of misogynoir.

YASSSSS QUEEN! SLAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is why progressives need to support Israel. Theodore Herzl was a Socialist. Zionism is progressive. Jews are of color. Arabs are white. You are racist if you disagree.

Isn’t Queen Kween?

R162 crax me up, folx.

Oh, I forgot, the letter that comes after J is racist. We're supposed to spell it Blacc now.

I've got some more countries Mighty Joe and Queen Kamala can declare war on:

New Morning Consult poll: Mighty Joe Biden at 59% approval.

MSNBC is deplorable. If they were not, then that approval rating would be 100%.

61% High five!!!!

Some desperate deplorables have been circulating a meme that Biden's approval rating is 11% and the lowest presidential approval ratings ever. They truly live in their own delusional world.

[quote]As for now: it's far less awful to look at than Trump's obesity, fake tan, and ridiculous comb-over.

You got that right. Drumpf was absolutely nauseating to look at, and that VOICE! His voice sounds like he has a quart of phlegm lodged down his throat!

I can imagine the vile smell emitting from that fetid lump of overweight untoned flesh. Hope the WH was fully fumigated. Just the thought of his daily diet made me retch. Junk food and Diet Coke everyday, who can survive that kind of unhealthy diet?

That bastard is made of Teflon! He must possess amazing genes, because I had three healthy friends die fairly young of cancer, all ate healthy foods, didn't do recreational drugs, weren't heavy drinkers, didn't smoke and were very active people.

The orange bastard, despite his sedentary life and junk food diet, lives on. Then, there's the cocaine and Adderal use which has been going on for years. He might not drink, but he sure does drugs.

I won't even get into that ozone-killing hairspray filled cotton candy mess on his head and he actually thinks that fake tan is attractive?

53.1%

More deplorable propaganda. The whole WORLD worships and adores Joe Biden. Isn’t it wonderful to get rid of Republicans while still allowing “straight” white gentile men to control everything?

Or are these people really so incredibly ignorant they don't comprehend all of the RePug policies and especially Dump's super sleazy type of corruption are extremely bad for them? That the RePugs have always been about helping the rich and corporations and that the RePug party has never cared about poor and working class people?

Biden’s doing it right. He needs to keep going and not back off now.

It's not his rating that's important, but his running mate's.

Let's see where these numbers are when the economy picks up, right now he hasn't won over anyone or lost anyone.

[QUOTE] It's not his rating that's important, but his running mate's.

Why? He’s running again in 2024. At least the Democratic Party better hope so.

New Pew poll: Biden’s approval rises to 59%

After the first 100 days, Biden's approval level is 20 points higher than Trump's was at the same mile-post. I hope this news eats away at Donny's insides for a good long while.

Oh, and here's the latest news on the non-existent "collusion" with Russia, that Trump was constantly complaining about being accused of. It's becoming quite clear that Manafort was put in charge of Donny's campaign primarily, if not solely, because of his Russian connections:

All republicans do declare war on Americans. They attack the American people. Republicans are modern day Nazi scum

Who or what are you trying to imitate, R190?

FAKE NEWS! FAKE NEWS!

Speak English, Boris at R191, please.

Boris = anyone who defies the Party Line

That’s because the party line is unquestionable.

Biden RCP average approval 52.7%. Where I could find the methodology samples without spending the afternoon looking, the numbers seem rather stacked.

Reuters included 441Democrats,378 Republicans, and 111 independent

Monmouth/CNBC 23% Republican 45% Independent 32% Democrat

New Morning Consult has him at 57%.

There is 30% of this country who would say Dems are doing a bad job even if they found a cure for cancer, doubled everyone's income, and brought world peace.

They do not look at politics with an open mind - just blindly say that Dems are bad.

Which is why Biden’s numbers are so amazing, R198.

Blowhard Joe Scarborough keeps saying that if he were still in Congress, he'd be attacking cradle-to-grave socialism and budget bloat. No one dares tell him that it's a losing argument. First, Trump's ineptness re Covid killed people; Biden demonstrated how govt can save lives and work in the people's interest. Second, Trump already blew a hole in the deficit and it helped no one except the very rich. Third, Scarborough was in Congress before Obamacare, which has made a case for government intervention in health coverage. Fourth, attacking the opposition 24/7 doesn't work when you've demonstrated you have nothing to offer besides voter suppression and fundamentalism.

Joe Scarborough wouldn’t even make it to congress unless he kneeled and kissed Trump’s ring like everyone else in the Republican Party.

Voters are too aware that Scarborough is a fraud and conman for him to ever be elected anything under any political banner.

Mighty Joe hits 63% in new AP poll out today!

538 average up to 54.2. Once you take away the rightwing polls which slant that average, you know Joe is really in the 60’s.

They also updated the survey from OP. He’s at 60% for May, damn near exactly what it was in February.

My bad. I was wrong in R205. That’s a different poll.

The actual update to the poll in OP has his approval moving upward to 62% for May.

No where to go but down.

Enjoy it while it lasts.

I thought of him and his place in history as I was being vaccinated. He saved our culos.

R208 Sure...whatever...why not.

This is why I love American Jews.

That’s why Biden blindly backs Israel, r210. It’s the third rail of American politics.

Israel is a shitty little country that does ghastly things — INCLUDING ripping off its #1 benefactor, the USA. But god forbid you should point that out, especially if you’re a politician.

Funnily enough, people are *perplexed* why anti-semitism rises when Israel is being especially shitty.

53.2%. Strong.

Uhh, R211, most American Jews are liberals and aren’t hardcore Likudnik Zionist types. They don’t love Biden because he “blindly backs Israel,” they love him because they’re liberal Americans who support his policies.

That’s why they never supported Donald Trump, and no modern president “blindly backed Israel” more than him.

R33 did he have work done?

Biden's rating is certainly better than Trump's ever was, but for so early in his term, it's not great.

The 538 average has his rating now at 53.2

Looking at individual polling companies:

YouGov (which 538 rates at B+) gives Biden only 50% approval. MAY 29-JUN. 1

538's highest rated polling co. IBD/TIPP (A+) gives Biden a 53% approval. MAY 26-28

Why is it not great, R215? Compared to who?

In what world is 53.2 percent NOT amazingly great, R215?

Maybe 1945?

R215 is completely unaware of the world we live in today.

I suspect that R215 wants to compare Biden’s approval rating to Presidents from a bygone, less partisan era. In this day and age, this is about the most you can hope for.

Obama, GW Bush, GHW Bush, Reagan, Carter....all with higher approval rating at this point of their term.

Make of it what you will, but the fact is: his approval rating at 53.2 is not great.

Obama’s approval averaged 47%, R220. The fact that it dropped that low, despite the overall great job he did, should tell you how fucked up this country is.

R221 At this point in his first term Obama was at a 60% approval rating.

Read what I wrote: "Biden's rating is certainly better than Trump's ever was, but for so early in his term, it's not great."

Let's see how it looks after he states "It's time to start looking into slavery reparations."

Biden looks like he's had a LOT of work done on his face.

How could a man like Joe Biden, R224, get all this plastic surgery and we don’t know about it? Who performed the surgeries? When did they do it? The man has been one of the most famous politicians for 40 years, was the Vice President for eight and is now the President, and nobody’s talked yet?

His face is stretched so tight.

Joe Biden’s Approval Rating Hasn’t Moved in Six Months

Seems like a great rating in a country as divided as this. And when I say divided I mean hopelessly fucked in the head.

I voted for Joe, but if for no other reason, I think people are relieved by the lack of constant histrionics. For that alone, people are willing to give him high marks

Trump was an unstable narcissist.

Biden is a rather vague entity.

He’s a mainstream moderate politician. What’s so vague about him?

Amazing how things change so fast.

RCP Average a new high for Disapproval

42.1 approval

54.6 disapproval

Go fuck yourself, R233.

Talk strong and kick ass and the polls go up.

sure it does. more like 16%...

Or not, r236. Honestly, don't most of these approval polls seem to be based on nothing but stupid whims and moods by the great and good and ever wise American people? And not just Biden. In general. Why the fuck would they vary every week when most weeks are pretty much exactly like the last week in terms of what any president is doing and what it's accomplishing. Yeah, there's Covid, like last week. Yeah the Senate is a collection of useless assholes, like last week. Yeah, there was a speech, which actually was pretty good but honestly so what? Actually, the thing everyone pretends to care about, the economy and the unemployment rate, is pretty much wonderful. So what's the problem? Who the fuck knows? Who cares, really, it will be some other mood next week.
