23% approval on transition? Wow!

Trump has abruptly collapsed like a rag doll in the RCP average. He's now at the lowest since January 2018. This is the first time in years if not ever that he's broken through so many multiple previous lows. People who stuck with him through the worst of Mueller, the 2018-19 government shutdown, the Ukraine scandal, George Floyd and Covid are now abandoning him.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Trump is over, the first 100 days is critical for Biden as Unemployment renewal and stimulus checks are gonna be debated again in what our budget deficit is now 600 B under 0,

Civiqs has his "favorability" by state

[pbrower2a]

Do you have a source for the favorability polls, ideally numeric?

[tjstarling]

Civiqs has his "favorability" by state

Didn’t Civiqs have unusually bad favorability for Biden in their general election polls as well? Still, that’s quite bad for Biden in many of these states. Safe to say our politics is broken and any new president likely starts with terrible headwinds that make governing and progress so tough. Sad.

Yeah, but their polls also have Trump with terrible approval and favorability too, so my guess is maybe the way they ask the question makes it so that people who have a neutral opinion are more often than not thrown into the "unfavorable" category. Also, remember favorability =/= approval, there are many people who may have an unfavorable view of Trump who still approve of his job. If these numbers are accurate though, it is quite sad.

I think you're reading too much into this.

As you noted, Civiqs has had some of Biden's worst favorability numbers throughout the last election cycle. This map looks like it continues that trend.

Do you really think Biden just won Colorado and New Mexico by double digits and he's already underwater?

These state numbers are suspicious. If true, it would be pretty bad at the beginning of a presidency. Biden underwater in states he easily carried? Color me skeptical.

Yeah, Civiqs has had great #s with H2H races and approval, but for some reason their favorability ratings have always been jacked up, especially for Democrats.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

As I have said before the IRS screwed up in getting stimulus checks out to the public, not everyone has the payments, and to constantly look at Trump approvals in relation to Biden Prez is bad for D's.

Johnson is gonna object again to the 1400 payments and we will see about the Unemployment, but it's days are numbered

But, we have a long way to go til the 2022 midterms

Biden offered me a ticket to the Inauguration if I donated but I politely turned it down

Possible explanation (really a wild guess): the insurrection damaged all faith in government at all levels and in a bipartisan way -- although Trump's cult may still be convinced that Trump won, in a landslide nonetheless.

I do believe that the first midterm will be a test for D's, the Covid crisis and Economy must be normalized in order to get that right track/wrong track number back even. If it's not Obama and Clinton midterms were bad and so will Bidens.

Because the Govt is shutdown and our Gov in Cali is. being recalled.

But we can't see the future until  2022

It's good that you did. Your presence there would only make the occasion an even bigger target for right wing extremists. Biden, Harris, Pelosi, Schumer, the former Presidents, and Olawakandi all in one place!? There isn't enough security in the world for that!

If any of those extremists came to Olawakandi, he will pull out his AUTHORITARIAN Nut maps and demand a reopening of the saloons . Would be over for them.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Biden isn't at 55% he is at 48/37

As King of the blog, isn't OC entitled to Secret Service protection?

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Biden isn't at 55% he is at 48/37

Why do you keep citing that number as if that's the only poll ever taken? Do you trust Marist that much?

We can't see what next yr this far out but some Ds are worried about 2022/ since first Midterms are bad, a 48/37 approval rating isn't bad, it's mediocre, but the Economy must be better than it is now to get the right/track wrong track never back even again in order to have a stellar 2022.

Obama lost the 2010 midterms not because he was doing bad,  but the he didn't get the right track/wrong track number back even again til he defeated Romney.

But of course if Statehood is adopted in this term, Rs gains are negated.

D's can win in 2022/ but it's not inevitable

I agree with everything you say in this comment, but IDK why you're pushing the 48/37 number so hard. Civiqs has 47 favorable/48 unfavorable if you're looking for a farther outlier.

Meet our beloved OC, Abdullah.

Pew: Trump's approval is now at 29%, and only 60% among Republicans. Easily the worst of his presidency.
