Biden approval ratings thread, 1.0

[Sharpshooter]

Well to be fair the Republican establishment never actually wanted Trump, they were forced to take him because their batsh**t base thought otherwise.  I'm sure they would have loved to have stripped him from the nomination at the 2016 convention and put someone else up but couldn't because they knew it would have destroyed their party.

Bush on the hand was pushed by the Republican establishment, and they supported all his policies, Iraq war, patriot act, deregulation of the financial systems, torture, gitmo etc.  So they fully own his presidency.

There was a grand total of one day when Trump had a higher standalone approval rating than Obama at the same point in his term.

Sad.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

The whole Lame duck session was about overturning the election, that's why he is, Trump at such low approvals, nothing about Covid

That's due to Trump is obsessed with crowds

What day?

[It’s so Joever]

Gotta love how there are more Trump approval posts on the Biden approval page than actual Biden approval related posts.

This is about to change now that Biden is finally President.

GALLUP

Kamala Harris fav: 53/36 (+17)
Joe Biden fav: 57/41 (+16)

Biden transitional approval: 68/31 (+37)

Both get a bump, especially Harris. Her last Gallup favorability was 45/43 (+2) in October 2020 and Biden’s was 55/41 (+14) in November.

Anyone know when we will get some approval ratings? I’m getting impatient

Gallup? Likely early-to-mid February.

Morning Consult was fairly early to get fifty-state polls. There might be single-state polls fairly soon, especially in states in which a Senator (MO, TX) or high-profile Congressional Representative misbehaved (AZ, CO, TX).

My prediction is that Biden will start with a 62-30 job approval rating in an average of the first 10 RCP or 538 polls.

I'd expect the weekly trackers (YouGov/Economist and Ipsos Core Political Data) to shift to Biden immediately.

I think that's too high.  His favorable ratings aren't even that high.

I'll go with a RCP range of 55-57%

Watch Rasmussen start out with Biden underwater.

Watch Rasmussen start out with Biden underwater.

Marist and Civatis hasBiden at 48-37 but remember the inparty loses seats at 44 percent, Biden has a long way to go before it hits that low and Biden hasn't passed legislation yet

I think Biden is at 52 Percent sice the insurrection will have a long lasting effect, since FBI have ongoing investigations

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

What gets me about this forum, is that D's believe that they will lose in 2022, I am a naysayer but if you compare my negative remarks against other D's on this forum, I would have a very low number of them.

I was just worried about the Stimulus but I filed it on my income tax already and I will get double

I haven't gotten my 600 yet

D's will win the next several Elections

Watch YouGov has like 48-27 or something.

[Obama-Biden Democrat]

Even if Biden has high approval ratings well into this spring, it is still too early. In Spring 2009, Obama had sky high approvals, Democrats had actually picked up a bunch of House seats in special elections. Republicans were bracing for a third straight beatdown in 2010.

It ended up being a Republican tsunami, the average American has the attention span of a peanut. 1.5 years is a absolute eternity in politics.

We had 11 percent Unemployment, it's currently 6.7 percent, that's the difference between now and 2010

That's why everyone isn't gonna get a Stimulus check due to fact since March 2020 it's gone down from 12 to 7 percent

Watch Rasmussen start out with Biden underwater.

I was close.  Their initial Biden daily poll is:

Approve 48 (strongly 36)
Disapprove 45 (strongly 38)

Their final Trump poll on Tuesday was 51/48 (strongly 36/41).

Rasmussen is a fraud pollster.

They pushed claims about Democratic election rigging for weeks after the election ...

Yeah, I have no idea why Nate Silver continues to insist on including them in his aggregates.

Why we are so concerned over approvals and Biden and D's haven't passed one piece of legislation

*checks thread title* Because this is the Biden approval ratings thread.

I was talking about naysayers, we are in the early stages of Biden Prez and they are not gonna be steller until we start moving legislation

The thing is though they normally are stellar or at least at a high point when they first enter.  Every president bar Trump has entered with an approval rating above 50%.

Obama didn't pass any legislation in his first week and still started with 67% in his first gallup poll.

Biden will be above 50% but I suspect it wont be long before he drops below it, even with a covid relief bill eventually passing since he's not a very charismatic guy and the same fundementals that kept Obama's approval rating mostly below 50% for the vast majority of his presidency will probably apply to Biden as well.
