Do you all think that this coup attempt or whatever else you want to call it will negatively or positively impact Biden's approval ratings?

Help Biden, tank Trump.

I posted details about the Quinnipiac poll in the general chaos thread; here they are again:

Quinnipiac (monthly), Jan. 7-10, 1239 RV

Approve 33 (-11)
Disapprove 60 (+9)

Strongly approve 26 (-10)
Strongly disapprove 54 (+7)

This is almost the worst showing ever for Trump in this poll; he was at 33/61 in July 2017.

The net change of 20 points since last month is extraordinary.  I don't recall ever seeing a shift that large.

60% think Trump is undermining democracy; 34% think he is protecting it.

53% think Trump should resign; 43% don't.

52% think Trump should be removed; 45% don't.

45% think Trump is mentally stable; 48% don't.

We never got any more details on that YouGov poll

Might refer to the Economist/YouGov tracker. If so it should be out tomorrow.

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.  

I don't know what that means but I'll take it as a compliment

OC is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.  Or at least most of his posts fit that description.

[GeorgiaModerate]

This is wild. Just wow.

(snip RCP approval chart)

So. much. winning.

It's obvious that Trump was on the wrong reality show; instead of The Apprentice, the best choice would have been The Biggest Loser.

If Donald Trump ran for the White House in 2024, would you vote for him?

Yes 23
No 60
Maybe 14

How do you think history will assess Donald Trump - would you say he will be viewed as a great president, a good president, a
fair president, or a failed president?

Great 15
Good 10
Fair 11
Failed 58

[GeorgiaModerate]

Trump’s final Gallup poll clocks him in at 34% approve and 62% disapprove.

https://twitter.com/lauralitvan/status/1351269034856165377?s=21

Trump exits office as the first President to never reach 50% approval in the Gallup poll.

[GeorgiaModerate]

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.

[GeorgiaModerate]

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

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

[GeorgiaModerate]

Watch Rasmussen start out with Biden underwater.
