Qtrash has biden at 32-61 in texas

yikes

https://poll.qu.edu/poll-release?releaseid=3821

if he is at -29 in texas in 2022.....oof, that is going to mean a lot of purple seats in the bluish suburbs

He is at 37-55 among hispanics in texas according to qtrash.

Q-pac is clearly trying to make up for 2020 being too Dem at this point. Biden being -30 in Texas is just ridiculous at this point.

Trump barely hit -30 in approval in states like MD and MA in the past few years, but Biden is down 30 in a state he lost by 5? Okay.

Of course he is, due to immigrants crisis, he isn't gonna win FL either, it's not 32% but it's not 60% either, Beto has zero chance as UWS ssid


Border crisis has exacerbated under Biden

Trump though pretty much always had a solid floor when it came to his approvals as a significant portion of base was enthusiastic supporters of him .


Biden on the other hand won cause he was able to be a generic anti Bernie D in the primary and Generic anti Trump D in the general . That means Biden’s approvals will have a lot more swings than Trump’s

You know the 304 blue Wall was won with Biden at 50/45 except for Rassy and QU, his polls are exactly that 50(48 LV and 53/47RV  and outside chance we win NC and OH Sen, OH split it's votes in 2018 and can drop so again


Biden doesn't have to be at 50/45 at all times except for Election night

His Agenda is stalled in Congress now, by the Debt Ceiling, Biden approvals are only low in Red wall states, Newsom almost won with 70% of the vote


It won't be that way in 400 days, his Agenda would be passed, worst case scenario, D's pass everything thru Reconciliation

CCM isn't down by 10 she is tied in NV Sen poll

https://news.yahoo.com/adam-laxalt-edges-catherine-cortez-163700604.html

I told you guys Biden is very close to his Approval on Election night not at 45%. 50/48 LV 53/47% RV it's a 304 map

DeSantis is up by 3 and Abbott is up by 5 like TRUMP won, bit NC and OH Sen are gonna be very close

Ryan and Beasley are gonna do better than Biden did in the state

[Progressive Pessimist]

What’s the matter with this country?

We finally get a leader who isn’t a total nutjob after 4 years of lunacy and he’s underwater in approval.

There are two reasons for this:

1. His Democratic base of support is not cultlike in their support for him, and he does deserve some criticism for his administration's actions. And simultaneously his opponents' opinions of him are baked in and immovable.

2. In being that supposed competent, sane President succeeding a volatile one, expectations are unrealistically high for him to overcome the nation's many compounding challenges. Americans are impatient in addition. And that impatience plus those unrealistic expectations are leading to him being in an Obamalike situation. This country clearly hasn't learned. The only real benefit Biden has that Obama didn't is polarization. Just because Biden is unpopular doesn't necessarily mean that Trump's image has been rehabilitated or that another Republican alternative is necessarily going to defeat him in an election or be more popular than him.

Trump was at the same Approvals or lower in 2018 and he held onto the Senate, Trump pretended Covid wasn't even there, we will hold onto the Senate, the H is tricky

Trump faced 90% negative approvals. Biden gets asked his favorite flavor of ice cream when he’s not hiding. Comparing the approvals is disingenuous, and you know it.

As someone who is a moderate, here is my opinion, Biden is suffering from setbacks. His agenda is stalled and isn't accomplishing things. The border is a mess and inflation is a problem. Supply problems are occurring due to not enough people filling jobs. Plus you have Afghanistan and that fallout from it. I'm not blaming him for everything at all, but he ran on being competent and having a cabinet that would be prepared. But these last few months haven't shown that. But the good news is that there is still time to fix things.

Biden is vulnerable to losing to the GOP on 2024. But they seem to insist on nominating Trump which would equal a Biden win. As long as Trump continues to turn the GOP into a conspiracy party, they will keep losing voters such as myself. College Educated voters, he will make this election all about 2020 and people will be sick of hearing about how the election being rigged with no proof.

The Afghanistan withdrawal was viewed as a disaster by virtually everyone without a vested interest in defending everything Biden does, we've got inflation and all kinds of other problems. If you can't fathom how Biden has slumped to mid 40's approval then you're living in a bubble and terribly out of touch. This doesn't have to be a comparative thing, he's an improvement over Trump but that doesn't mean he's doing well or that anyone has to automatically approve of the job he's doing in office.

A lot can happen in the next three years to change the narrative and it's very likely the Republicans will pick a weak candidate, whoever it is, so he still can be reelected, though.

Rightly or wrongly though, I think it's unfair to say "oh he ran on competency and now it's not that." Even with those most competent people in charge, things can - and will - still go wrong. People still make mistakes. So you can argue a few different things that have happened, but I don't get the "competency" argument. Being competent doesn't shield you from mistakes. Not to mention, a lot of what's happening is out of his hands (inflation, people not getting vaccines, etc.).

UBI payments kept people out of poverty and we need another one and Congress is passing a non Stimulus bill dealing with Health Reform

Also,we need immigration reform and the Border crisis is out of control, some believe that immigrants are carriers of Covid which they are, that's why Ds arent gonna win TX or FL Gov or Sen

But, we have a chance in open seats OH and NC Sen

But, D's all they need is secure the 304 Blue wall D's are tied or leading in NV, CO, AZ, WI, MI, PA, GA all except NH and just like that NV poll showed Laxalt leading by 10 and showed Sununu leading by 9, Sununu isn't winning by 9 pts, it takes 270 to win Prez and based on 2024 Sen map Biden is assured that

But, the H is tricky due to Rs need only 5 seats D's are Vulnerable in TX and F Land CA will give us 4 seats back and NY and IL will Redistrict Rs out as well

There are 5 vulnerable D's in TX

Also, Biden bragged he was better than Warren and Bernie and Harris in primary, since he been Prez everything has been partisan and he opposes getting rid of Filibuster and Sinema went on View and said that she will never ever, as long as she is a tiebreaker voter, will getting rid of Fillibuster if we win 54/46 Seats we keep the H and get Statehood, Ryan said he supports Statehood, and he is tied in a poll against MANDEL

Beasley, Jackson, Ryan always had a better chance than FL and IA due to open seats, they will perform better than Biden did in state

Cunningham lost due sex scandal

Biden in Non Rassy and QU poppls, except for 2020, QU has a conservative bias like Rassy Biden is at 50/48 and 53(47 RV

Biden only has to be at 50% on election day

About 46% of Americans are perfectly happy with a complete nutcase as President. Look at how media have prepared people with confrontational "talk" shows in which people win points for belligerence. Who is more rhetorically belligerent than Donald Trump? He reminds me of the sort of person who would throw a chair on the Jerry Springer Show.  People actually watch that stuff. People also fall for televangelists who divide the world into the Saved (people like them) and the Damned (anyone who disagrees). And then look at some of the nutcases we have as Senators and Congress-critters.

Texas pols have all but banned abortion in the state and have sought to entrench their power by making voting more difficult for minorities and poor people. So defeat the feminists, conservationists, and liberals once and for all, much as did the KKK in the end in The Birth of a Nation. Yes, show the politically-defeated who is boss with the intent of rubbing it in and exploiting it more every chance.  

As for Texas -- part of the confrontational style of politics is to do everything to suggest to the Other Side is to break their hope. Break the hope of the Other Side and you have a regime (or at the least a political machine) that entrenches itself to the extent that the Other Side is completely irrelevant except as victims to suffer for the Elites -- like monopolist gougers little better than racketeers of the era of Al Capone and Lepke Buchalter. Worse, perhaps, because in the plutocratic nightmare the people getting killed by violence or hunger will have done nothing to deserve such. (I recall a column by the late great columnist Mike Royko, who compared Filipino dictator Ferdinand Marcos. Chicago-area thugs largely killed each other, but Marcos killed anybody of principle who got in his way.

Trumpism is not dead. It will survive him, and it may become more sophisticated and crushing in its techniques. It can morph into an ideology in which one's boss has the powers of a feudal lord over one. You will even vote as your boss tells you or give him your ballot as a proxy.

 Biden is letting others define his presidency. He needs to start going on the offensive.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Biden is letting others define his presidency. He needs to start going on the offensive.

His budget is being obstructed in Congress and he hasn't invited Rs to WH except during infrastructure leaving them out of process

What did Obama do during the 2011 Debt Ceiling crisis he invited Speaker Boehner and negotiated budget caps

Naturally Rs aren't gonna help raise the DEBT CEILING, but Collins should not be Obstructing, especially on VR, she is gonna lose to Jared Golden in 2026
I'm once a deal is reached on budget crisis his polls will go up, they have until Friday for Shutdown and Oct 18th, if D's have to they will go thru a 2 wk process of raising Debt Ceiling in Reconciliation, but Clyburn said on Constitutional issues get rid of Filibuster

At worse, the Debt Ceiling is raised on Oct 31st right before Nov checks, but probably a couple days before it takes a long time for Amendment to be passed via Reconciliation

[pbrower2a]

The Republicans might be perfectly happy with privatization on the cheap. You know how that goes -- forward funds for turning the freeways into toll roads run by monopolistic gougers.

Selzer doesn't look as such an outlier anymore, does it?

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

The Republicans might be perfectly happy with privatization on the cheap. You know how that goes -- forward funds for turning the freeways into toll roads run by monopolistic gougers.  

If D's don't pass the full package it can be added to next yr , should they win the Trifecta, which they're gonna do anyways Bernie said should Ds get 54(/46 Senate WI, PA, OH, NC, he is going for the full 6T

54 votes eliminates the Filibuster bypassing Tester, Sinema and Manchin and Tester haven't fully endorsed the Elimination of Filibuster,, he is a blue dog too, so it's imperative we get 54 votes and Beasley says she supports Fillibuster but Ryan says to End it

Ryan is tied in OH but Gov race is Safe R, and who knows about NC, outside chance FL too

[HisGrace]

About 46% of Americans are perfectly happy with a complete nutcase as President. 

That still leaves an additional 10% of people who do not approve of Biden, either being actively disapproving or unsure. You can't blame his decline on Trump supporters, if they were the only ones opposed he'd still be up in the mid 50's.

I think the issue is that with the mistakes that have happened they haven't gone enough on the offensive to try and change the narrative. I also think the competent part has to deal with people having too high of expectations, almost like during Obama's first term. That Biden would wave a magic wand and everything gets fixed. The important thing is he has time on his side.
