Biden approval ratings thread, 1.0

[NotSoLucky]

If he can't deliver on the PRO Act or with infrastructure, his approval will sink among Blue Collar voters. And if he doesn't deliver on HR1 or John Lewis, then his approval will sink among urban Progressives. The Afghan pull out cost him a lot of the "never Trump" suburban republican support, and his implementation of a vaccine mandate cut into his already very low approval rating among Republican Trump supporters.

In other words, his 2024 prospects aren't looking good. The only thing that could help him rebound is if Trump ran in 2024, as Trump's 2016 run did give Obama a boost in his approval, but even then I don't think that would necessarily translate into a win :/

Nice to see Americans rally behind President Biden’s War on the Unvaccinateds.

I think this might be a but crazy, but I think it might be a better strategy if the government payed people to take the vaccine, or some other monetary incentive? I don't know if this has been tried statewide yet.

We are now almost back above water despite all of the negative news covfefe!

To quote TarHeelGentleman from a few pages back: "Inshallah!"

I wish I didn't care so much about a President's approval ratings, but the future of our country requires Biden to at least to be somewhat popular. He is all that stands between us and a right wing Armageddon.

Approval has to be earned though. You can't expect people to just blindly support him just because "the alternative is worse". Yes, Biden is much better than a "right wing Armageddon", but honestly I and everyone else have every right to feel disappointed. Especially if he fails to deliver on HR1 or the PRO act.

Those kinds of incentives have been tried at the state level. At some point, carrots can only do so much and you need to use a stick.

Fair enough, I guess. I do understand this sentiment, but I feel like it's really telling that Biden's willing to use the "stick" approach on the American people, but not with Manchin or Sinema. I think that says a lot about where his priorities are :/

I say this as a guy who is fully vaccinated, FYI
