Quote:On Wednesday, Joe Biden took a dive.

And I don’t mean at the pool with his buddy Corn Pop.

As revealed by a Gallup poll released midweek, his approval rating hit a new low.

Per the analytics organization, positivity toward POTUS is down six points since August.

Since June, he’s dropped 13.

Eight months into his term, the Commander-in-Chief is facing favorability to the tune of 43%

And here’s something significant:

For the first time, a majority, 53%, now disapproves of Biden’s performance.

The study was conducted September 1-17, on the other side of a massive Afghanistan failure.

The Taliban takeover — amid which a bomb killed more than a dozen U.S. military personnel — was described August 26th by RedState’s Bonchie:

Today was one of the darkest days the United States has suffered in the last two decades. It opened with suicide bombings disrupting the already bungled evacuation attempt in Afghanistan. The latest count is that at least 13 American soldiers have perished, with at least 90 Afghans, including many women and children.

For nearly eight hours, the President of the United States remained silent. Shockingly, even as the death toll rose, we heard nothing. No written statement offering condolences for their deaths ever came. The White House couldn’t even muster a quick show of empathy via Joe Biden’s Twitter account. Once again, it became patently obvious that we simply don’t have a president.

Gallup observes Joe’s “honeymoon ratings near 55%” took their first hit in July, as America caught wind of COVID’s delta variant.

By August, a survey showed approval of 49%.

As noted by Front Pager Jeff Charles, a September 15-16 Reuters/Ipsos poll tracked the Leader of the Free World at 44%.

And he’s down a career-defining percentage point more according to Gallup.

Furthermore, support among unvaccinated black voters has plummeted 17 points since Biden’s announcement of a federal vaccine mandate.

Such news comes courtesy of a Morning Consult poll relayed by RedState’s Jennifer Oliver O’Connell.

Here’s more from the National Review:

Biden’s favor among black voters dropped substantially between an initial poll conducted between September 6 and 8 — just before Biden’s mandate for companies with more than 100 employees announcement on September 9 — and a second poll taken between September 18 to 20 of more than 1,000 black voters.

The Democrats’ main man is in a mess, summarized by The Washington Free Beacon:

Biden’s plummeting poll numbers come as the president moves from pillar to post in an effort to restore his administration’s message of “competence.” Since his inauguration, [he’s] faced a series of domestic crises, including a resurgence of COVID hospitalizations and deaths and a flood of immigrants at the U.S.-Mexico border. But the withdrawal from Afghanistan proved to be the first great test of his administration, as hundreds of thousands of U.S. citizens and allies were hastily evacuated amid the Taliban’s swift and violent takeover of the nation.

And pandemic fatalities persist. The outlet indicates “an average of more than 1,000 COVID deaths every day since Biden took office—a quarter of a million deaths in total.”

It’s history in the making:

Of the previous four presidents, Biden now enjoys the lowest approval rating in the September of a president’s first term, with the exception of former president Donald Trump.

How set is he to rally?

Only time will tell.

But if I had to guess, I’d say more bad news is in store.

In addition to a border crisis, rising COVID restrictions, and Middle Eastern mayhem, President Biden’s cognitive decline seems evident.

When speaking at the podium, he at times appears barely holding on — his gaze anything but certain, his words anything but precise.

Those kinds of issues don’t improve over time.

And they don’t instill confidence in the citizenry.

If — at some point — a transition comes about, Kamala Harris isn’t primed for approval pegging the meter.

Gallup reported that “49% approve and 49% disapprove of her leadership.”

Stay tuned for what will surely be much, much more..

Quote:President Joe Biden’s approval rating leaped out of an airplane without a parachute, and as it’s plummeting to the ground at speeds that could break the sound barrier, former President Donald Trump’s approval numbers continue to rise.

As first reported by the New York Post, Biden’s approval drop is a continuing trend matched with his rising disapproval numbers. Just last month he was sitting at 49 percent but now sits at 43 percent. His disapproval now sits at 53 percent. The poll was conducted by Gallup.

This was a stark contrast to June where Biden’s approval rating was 56 percent while his disapproval was at 42 percent. It’s only been nine months since Biden took office in January, but he’s already dropped 14 points.

But it gets worse for Biden and the Democrats, as while they’re suffering swiftly decreasing popularity, the New York Post reported that Trump’s is on the rise:

As disapproval grows, Trump is seeing a rise in his own approval rating, overtaking Biden by approximately 2 percentage points, a separate poll found.

Forty-eight percent of American voters were found to have a positive view of Trump, while only 46 percent said they favored Biden, according to a Harvard CAPS/Harris Poll survey shared with multiple outlets.

On the disapproval side, the survey still found Trump on top, with 47 percent saying they had a negative view of the former president while 49 percent disapproved of Biden.

As rumors continue to swirl about whether Trump will run again in 2024, 51 percent of the 1,578 respondents said Trump was a better president than Biden. Only 49 percent said they preferred Biden over Trump.

Problems continue to mount for the Biden administration and it’s the vast majority of it is caused by the administration shooting itself in the foot on a constant basis. For instance, the Afghanistan debacle is firmly fixed in the minds of Americans as one of the worst decisions ever made in the Middle East. This bad decision-making is only made more apparent by the complete lack of actions and care when it comes to the increasingly worsening crisis at the border.

Add onto this the economic downturn, COVID-19 fearmongering, crime surges, and you have an administration that looks wildly incompetent. That’s not even mentioning the fact that Biden seems ill-suited for the job as it’s clear his mental health is declining. The fact that he’s admitted his handlers won’t let him speak to people or take questions only makes this worse.

This makes people long for the days when Trump was in office, a nightmare scenario for the left in and of itself.

Trump openly spoke to the press all the time and while he was far from an artful speaker, his decisions rarely lead America down a bad road, especially economically. Under Trump, the border was safe and our foreign allies respected us, even if they didn’t like us.

It’s likely that the increased contrast in the polls between Biden and Trump is America showing its buyer’s remorse on Biden, and this is going to be made very apparent in the upcoming midterms.
