Biden approval ratings thread, 1.0

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

The problem is inflation, Gas prices along with rents have gone way out of control and just like the stimulus checks the rental assistance is over March 31

There are millions of subsidized Apartments out there but there are waiting lists 2/4 yrs other than Senior Apartments which can have waiting list too

If you are single you can rent rooms for rent that are cheap

QU polls that show Biden at 35 are trash, they just showed his Approvals at 44)49 and Trump at 40)54

[woodley park]

Does not really matter if the QU poll is trash. The reality is that Biden is unfortunately struggling amidst problems far beyond his control. An historic land war in Europe, a pandemic that continues to dork up global supply chains, and both of these things fueling high inflation -- these are momentous challenges that cannot be easily or quickly solved. I'm not surprised Biden is polling at or worse than Trump given the current political climate. What is more surprising is that Trump polled so poorly amidst relative peace and prosperity. Shows you what a disastrous and corrupt leader he was. I hate to be a doomer, but just given that it is hard to see how things get better in the short to medium-term, I am pretty sure that Biden's approval rating is going to stay in the doldrums and 2022 is going to be a 1994 or 2010 redux for Democrats.

All is not lost though! Americans have notoriously short term memories, and if things look better come 2024, Biden or another Democratic nominee can say that they steered the nation through perilous times and that we need steady leadership at the helm. He definitely has accomplishments to point to, such as the confirmation of the first black female Supreme Court Justice, the vaccine rollout, the infrastructure bill, and his rallying of Western democracies to help thwart Russia's military ambitions in Ukraine. Meanwhile, Kevin McCarthy will like be an extraordinarily weak Speaker of the House (if he can even get the votes to become Speaker). GOP crazytown fissures created chaos that hurt the party's credibility in 1995 and 2011, and I see no reason why 2023 will be different.

Does anyone think Biden can do anything to turn his situation around in the short term? Forgiving student loans and pushing executive action on guns may help, perhaps?

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Really, not the gas ⛽ prices is causing inflation but the GCB is tied and D's are holding their own in AZ, OH, NV, NH and GA and leading in FL Gov races despite Biden Approvals

Not only have gas prices cause motorists more money, it has caused Airline tickets because Airlines uses fuel too to double from 300 round trip to 800.00 so it's really nothing he can do short of the war ending in Ukraine because we aren't opening up Keystone and Nordstrom 2 that can go back online at anytime are the keys to lower gas prices

Airline tickets are stuck at 800 all the way thru Labor Day

But, QU has Biden at 35/59 and that's not true You Gov have D's tied or leading on GCB and Biden at 44/49 and Trump at 40/54

Biden is giving on 10 K and most people have 25 or over student loans that's a drop in the bucket to the amount of Student loans that most people have, because in today's marketing, everyone has a College Degree, it's just like a HS Diploma you really need an advanced degree like Nursing or Law Degree to distinguish yourself and there are no Pell Grants in Grad school

Not to mention rents have been way out of control the rental assistance exhausted in March 31 2022 after 2 yrs and they won't open up section 8 vouchers

You Gov has Biden at 44/49 lol have you seen the state by state Numbers the D's are tied or leading in all the swing states, Trump was at 44% in 2018/20 and netted seats I laugh at Rs posting Approvals and they are down in all the Swing States

Why because the GCB is tied at 39/37 with D's leading in IPSOS Whitner is up 23 pts if Biden was so low Whitner will be down even in this Environment we still have to vote stop Preempt the EDay

Nate Silver says it's a 303 blue wall until Rs crack in on EDay and they haven't cracked it since 2016

Partisanship is saving it from being a lot lower.

Lol they added the QU poll 35/59 number that's why it's at 39% of you look at the RCP and You Gov has Trump at 40/54 and Biden at 44/49 we have to wait for the 22 results before we assume anything, users are so quick to jump on Approvals and we still have an Election, stop Preempt the Election

As I said if Biden is so low why is Whitmer leading by 23 pts stop Doing, Doom after EDay, it's no Dooming until we know the results, but just don't forget most of all Atlasia D's supported Biden over Bernie or Booker or Warren for the nomination

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

So much for 30% Approvals, Warnock is tied 47/47 with Walker the D's were 9 pts behind all the Rs in 2014 Pryor, Landrieu and Begich, it really goes by GCB D's may lose the H but it's not a wipeout it's 0/8 net gain for Rs in the H and 2/3 S seat net gain for the D's in the S but we have OH, IA, NC and FL as wave insurance for the H

It's no need to DOOM until D's actually lose on EDay, otherwise it's speculation

If Biden was really at 39% all the state by state polls including Warnock would have huge D deficits, I come back to this thread over and over and users act like Russian Bear 41% Biden Approval but Rs aren't dominating

He said the same thing for three months Dec, Jan and Feb until the Ukranian war and he disappeared


Biden at 41% but Rs aren't dominating

Biden has the potential to be a good president still, but he needs to start focusing less on foreign policy and divisive social issues and more on improving the lives of the broad masses of the American people on a day to day basis. He also needs to stop putting out meaningless wishlists for Congress and start focusing more in what he can do within his administrative power to help people in a tangible way.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

We now lead in OH, PA, AZ,NV, NH, and NC Sen races and lead in FL, PA and MI Govs and ME so much for Matty report of 39% Biden Approvals you never hear from him when Rs look bad from state by state polls you only hear from him when Biden looks bad in Approvals, and Russian Bear already has left the Building with Biden 41% 3 mnth Approvals

Rs aren't winning 25 H seats they won't get Boehner Numbers of 241 they are an Insurrectionists party, Trump is running around endorsing Rs and if the Feds don't get him on indictments he have a bunch of civil lawsuits that will Bankrupt him

The D's didn't even need Voting Rights anyways they are leading in S and Gov races in NC, OH, PA and winning PA and FL Gov races and the Ds are expected to pick up state legislature seats in FL the only bad news was TX Rs are gonna win some races like OH Gov, TX Gov and NH Gov

Why are Rs doing so badly because we need BBB and Climate change and expand Medicare Dental, and the 303 blue wall is solid, there is a Red mirage anyways the rural vote comes in first and the urban vote comes in last but urban vote or suburb vote is early Oct and rural vote is EDay

When was he focusing on divisive social issues?

The bottom line is people want Biden to be doing 20 things at once. to be frank, there is just a lot of sh*t going on right now and he's being pulled in a million different directions. People act like it's feasible to be able to handle all of these things perfectly at once when there's so much going on.

Trump never had to deal with a 1/5th of this type of stuff, for most of his 4 years, until COVID hit, he really never had to deal with any crises out of his own making at all.

Even with 538, Biden is at -14.0 while Trump was at -9.7 at the same point in his presidency. Perhaps I should've added *at this point of time* in my previous post.

Ha so much for QU Biden Approvals 35/59 Beto is down only 5 in TX lol Biden is fine

Leave Biden alone, how many naysayers threads have we had among especially Rs since Jan, so much for that

D's are gonna do better than 2020, I told users especially Rs to stop with the naysay, Rs want to keep taxes at 20% in a Pandemic that's not gonna fly

It is hard to see how Democrats do better than they did in 2020 when this time they are in control of the entire government and inflation is hurting people. There is still plenty of time for Biden to reverse his 2024 fortunes, but it is hard to see inflation meaningfully easing enough to not hurt his party during the midterms.

The X factor is whether conservative Supreme Court overreach on social issues, like striking down Roe versus Wade, causes blowback for the GOP. The pundit class seems to think it will not matter, but to me it strains credulity to suggest that people will just shrug off such a drastic change. Especially considering the yawning gap in the 2020 presidential poplar vote. People want Roe v Wade to be upheld.

Lol all your candidate Rs are losing in AZ, NC, GA, NC, OH, PA and Whitmer is up by 23 and Mastriano is down bye 4 learn to win the PVI, you guys haven't won since 2016 six yrs ago with Hillary

As I said it's a 303 map anyways but Rs don't have a monopoly on Red states Biden was Veeo to Obama in 2008/2012 where we won Red states we outnumber Rs 65/60M since 65/60M D's have so much in Rs it's ridiculous

All you do is quote Russia Bear Biden at 39% Approvals look at the state by state polls you never quote

The same QU poll that you quote about 39% has Beto down by 5 pts and Crist is leading 51/49 that's embarrassing in this Environment DeSantis and Abbott are supposed to win by 9/12 pts not 5

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Lastly, it's so hypocritical of Rs to think that D's don't have a monopoly on blue states but think they have a monopoly on red states, look at the compiled map, it's wrong it's a 303 map and users still have MI and NV going R and Whitner is up 23. I can say the samething about Rs being delusional about blue states. Trump needs WI, PA and MI, AZ and NV to get elected and Craig and Mastriano have cratered we haven't seen a poll in WI but if it's within the margin of error D's will win it based on provision ballots 300K of them that came up last time in 2020.

But, as far as I know it's a 538 election not a 303 map , our red state D's are wave insurance for a D H, TX and FL have enough Electors to give us a DH

When was he focusing on divisive social issues?

Guns, abortion, and Jan. 6th seem to be the Democratic message. Not that these issues are entirely against them (imo the public is somewhat--although not entirely-- sympathetic to the Democratic positions) but this stuff will all be drowned out by the bad economy.

The bottom line is people want Biden to be doing 20 things at once. to be frank, there is just a lot of sh*t going on right now and he's being pulled in a million different directions. People act like it's feasible to be able to handle all of these things perfectly at once when there's so much going on.

Trump never had to deal with a 1/5th of this type of stuff, for most of his 4 years, until COVID hit, he really never had to deal with any crises out of his own making at all.

Huh? Biden and Trump both inherited a decent economy. Trump also had his share of mass shootings and Supreme Court controversies. Trump also had to deal with the George Floyd riots.

The bottom line is actually that "the buck stops here" as Harry Truman  used to say. Even if you're right that Trump just had perfectly smooth sailing and clear skies for four years (not true) while Biden is dealing with 5,000 problems, the public will still put the responsibility on the president to do something, and the voting public, like the customer, is always right. We just had the biggest drop in real wages in decades and it's reasonable for people to be unhappy about that. As a Democrat, pointing fingers and making excuses isn't going to save them no matter if they are true or not. It's the president and Congress's job to act and do what they can, and make a convincing affirmative case for why they are going to do a better job than the Republicans.
