I bet that Trump is jealous that Biden ever even had an approval rating of 61%...that wasn't achievable for Trump.  Trump couldn't ever muster that level of general approval at any time in his failed presidency. He was too intentionally divisive and even republicans voted against him in 2020.

Weak.

Biden is taking similar path that Trump and Obama took.  But he's reached a new low.  If he keeps this up he's reach Trump lows soon.  

Like Democrats felt about Trump Republicans that dislike Biden seriously dislike Biden.

But yes, Biden started out much higher.  Which means he has already fallen much farther than Trump.

LOL

All presidents bounce in polls...except Trump.  He always polled low. It's not at all surprising that Biden isn't doing well in polling. Consider the situation; Biden inherited an out of control pandemic, a struggling economy, a Taliban negotiated Aftganistan withdrawal that wasn't facilitated prior to his inauguration, and is the first US president to have to overcome a well developed propaganda network that feeds people lies, misinformation and twisted perspectives. 

I understand that Trump supporters dislike Biden...they apparently dislike Biden because he's not Trump because he's more honest than Trump, is more ethical and moral than Trump, more trustworthy than Trump, and is better qualified for the presidency than Trump. 

Biden isn't some savior. He's not perfect.  He makes mistakes just like every person and every president.  The differences between the two fellows is stark.  

I'm still certain that Trump is jealous of Biden's polling...popularity and status is really important to Trump.

Deflection? LOL

Trump's polling fell too...he just stayed in the low places that Biden is now visiting.  Trump would have bragged about a 60% approval rating and likely would have inflated it as he inflates most of his claims.  

The reality is that most of us could care less what Biden's polling numbers are...he's a vast improvement over the last guy. But I'm happy to entertain your interest in the polling.

AaahhhHahahaha

He inherited a highly effective vaccine that was barely available under Trump.  Which was also in his favor with regards to the economy.

Haha...the Taliban deal...if it was so bad, why'd go ahead with it?

No, Trump was the first one to deal with the probagsndist media.

Maybe you meant, "couldn't" care less?

Anyway, you should.  With that big of a drop among independents, the Dems are going to get trounced in midterms.

Because it was in the best interests of the country to get out of that unnecessary war and the last guy didn't make good on that campaign promise.

You seem to have understood my words. 

Nah. Biden's current polling doesn't upset me.  

Maybe the democrats will get trounced.  We'll have to wait and see in a time when republicans are actively working to undermine free and fair elections in the country.

Quote

A statement signed by more than 100 scholars on Tuesday warns that as a result of Republican-led states proposing or implementing “radical changes” to election laws, the voting procedures in several states are being transformed into “political systems that no longer meet the minimum conditions for free and fair elections.” The statement includes this dire prediction: “our entire democracy is now at risk”

Democrats my lose in 2022 but it may not be because Republicans got more votes. Republicans don't seem much interested in democracy in the era of Trump.

After the record breaking gains Republicans made in Obama's first term, I fully expect that things are going to tip the Republicans way in mid-terms this year.  

I think you're correct that if things continue in this vein it is going to be a painful trouncing.  A good deal of Republicans that didn't vote for Trump and Independents that swing to the right and usually vote Republican but voted for Biden are going to vote Republican.  

I disagree with TMB that voting laws are going to tip the scale that much.  It's going to be dissatisfaction with the Biden administration that will cause the trouncing.

I find it interesting that few months ago we were already talking about mid-terms and now we're already talking about 2024.

On the other hand, like most Presidents he should continue to do his best and not worry about polls.  He has bigger problems than polls.

It's this confidence that we live in a stable democracy that wouldn't possibly destroy itself to elevate authoritarians that will be our downfall.  IMV
