Biden approval ratings thread, 1.0

[Progressive Pessimist]

St. Leo is a joke pollster.

They were off by 10 points each in FL and nationally ...

Well, if they are ten points again, relatively speaking, that's still pretty good for Bide in such a disgrace of a state.

Disgrace of a state = State which doesn't quite vote the way I'd like it to

There's more to it than just that, especially with a state that's going to have 31 electoral votes.

It is approval ratings, and not favorability ratings. Favorability ratings are relevant when they are blatant  (as in states that are not close and usually do not get polled, like New York or Oklahoma) because the states rarely decide an election, but they always must defer to approval. Would I use a favorability rating for Illinois? Sure. Wisconsin? Absolutely not.

*an asterisk indicates that I have accepted a favorability rating.  New York State only.

[It’s so Joever]

Didn’t UT-Tyler show Biden leading there? Or am I mixing up my 2020 polls?

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Of course D's are leading in TX, great for our House races for the Midterm

[pbrower2a]

Didn’t UT-Tyler show Biden leading there? Or am I mixing up my 2020 polls?

UT Tyler is in the northeastern part of the state, about halfway between Dallas and Shreveport. Austin is slightly west of due south of Dallas.

The earlier poll was a favorability poll, which was not shown on the map.

There's more to it than just that,

Lol such as?

especially with a state going to have 31 electoral votes.

Mad bro?

Yes, I am mad that you have so much influence over our national elections.

It's just a state that is almost tailor-made for me to hate it in addition to all that: the politics, the crazy and weird events that happen down there, the climate, the wildlife, that my dad and so much of my family lives there. I could go on.

Not as nice as Cancun.

I suppose to each their own. I'm just quite glad that the rest of the country doesn't agree.

I'm happy your family's enjoying it here, though! Perhaps in a few years you'll change your mind as well and move down here as well (it's an important part of the Northeasterner life cycle, after all).

Orlando is nice enough.

Not just that, but the Kennedy Space Center is nice as well, not to mention the Florida Keys (see a place that your grandchildren won't be able to!) with their pristine beaches, the historical sites scattered throughout the state from Pensacola to St. Augustine, the Everglades, where nothing can be seen except Sawgrass until the horizon, and the vibrant, sometimes crime-ridden streets of Tampa and Miami.

Every state's full of gems if you know where to find them.

That's fair.

My aunt, my grandparents, and now my dad all live in Cape Canaveral. I never saw a rocket lift off from there, like they've seen, but it does seem cool to witness. I'm not really keen on any other aspect of the area though, it's fairly nondescript from my experience there, even for Florida.

With Biden at 51 Rs can forget about taking 15/20 seats, the D are starting a wave and the wave will depend on the Recovery, we can wind back to 230 and 52/54 Senate seats

.at least it won't be a 2014 cycle, R 5 cycle, like Rs hopef it would be

[Lief 🗽]

Biden back over 60%, thank you America!!

This is called a honeymoon period, and will likely be over soon.

At least it probably won't last two years.

Plus the polls are likely off. Remember those 2020 election polls?

Both Lief and olawakandi have been members of this forum since The Bush administration. I'm sure they know we're in a honeymoon period.

Users think especially Rs think the Trump Covid Recession started under Biden and think that they will win in 2022, as punishment for the poor response by Biden, not true and as Ds we are put on here to educate that Covid and Trump Recession started in 2020/ not 2021

To think that Mr Pillow guy is gonna win MN and Trump or DeSantis is gonna beat Biden or Harris in MN, is funny with Klobuchar on the ballot, she would take a Cabinet post if she thought she would lose on 2024, Rs are grasping at straws

With that FL number D's aren't winning FL in 2022 with Rubio on the ballot, he will pull DeSantis across finish line

[Progressive Pessimist]

It's a shame that President Biden will only get to enjoy his high approval ratings for another two days since Trump is going to become President again on March 4.

The only president in American History to never fall below 50% approval. Beautiful.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

The problem for Biden, he is running into the same problem as Trump with Covid, that eventhough you can give out stimulus checks and funding for schools, but as long as you have Covid the Economy won't be fully open.  Bars and Stadiums still remain closed for forseeable future and Schools have remote learning, especially Universities

We don't know when Universities or Stadiums or Bars are gonna be open, but the athletes don't deserve our money like before Covid, on memorabilia, it's Chinese cheap made

They only spend it on themselves
