Biden’s poll numbers plummeting amid crisis including botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, skyrocketing urban crime, border crisis

Quote:Experts say US President Joe Biden’s entire first-term agenda could be jeopardised if he fails to reduce the number of COVID-19 cases in the country.

The embattled president Biden’s poll numbers are plummeting amid a slew of crises, including his botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, skyrocketing urban crime, and a crisis at the US-Mexico border, to name a few.

Analysts warn that the most pressing concern for the president is the rapidly spreading Delta variant, which is rife among the unvaccinated.

Indeed, according to a recent poll conducted by Quinnipiac, a leading polling university, only 38% of Americans believe the president is doing a good job, down from 42% just three weeks ago.

Furthermore, only a quarter approved of the president’s handling of immigration, 39% approved of his handling of the economy, and 37% approved of him as Commander-in-Chief, according to the poll.

“Battered on trust, doubted on leadership, and challenged on overall competency, President Biden is being hammered on all sides as his approval rating continues its downward slide to a number not seen since the tough scrutiny of the Trump administration,” Quinnipiac said, referring to former President Donald Trump.

Analysts believe that controlling the Delta surge is the key to a successful comeback.

However, millions of Americans continue to refuse the vaccine due to concerns about potential side effects and misinformation spreading on social media. Others are concerned because the vaccine is so new, having been developed in record time through a public-private partnership led by former President Trump.

However, for Biden, there may be a light at the end of the tunnel. Experts believe that if the president can get things under control now, his approval ratings will rise in the coming months.

If he does not, he may face a leadership crisis, and Democrats in Congress may distance themselves from him in the run-up to next year’s midterm elections.

Fortunately for Biden, he may still have time on his side, as the midterm elections are still a year away.

“It doesn’t matter so much whether his numbers are down right now. What matters is whether his administration can execute a plan for success in the pandemic, as well as the economy, that people will feel in six months,” Clay Ramsay, a researcher at the Center for International and Security Studies at the University of Maryland, told Xinhua.

Biden loses support among 'p*ssed off' black voters: 'Frustration is at an all-time high'

Quote:On Monday, POLITICO pointed out the difficult elephant in the room about President Joe Biden's declining approval ratings. They chalked it up to the coronavirus rebound. But what's the bigger picture?

The name of the game today is that a new Rasmussen poll released on Tuesday has abysmal ratings for Biden. It's a spread of 41 percent approve and 20 percent strongly approve, versus a 57 percent disapprove and 50 percent strongly disapprove split.

It's a similar story for Texas Hispanics and independent voters. You name it, Biden has declining approval ratings with that demographic.
So what about African Americans?

W. Mondale Robinson of the Black Male Voter Project was key in getting that demographic out to vote in 2020. Especially when it came to getting the state of Georgia to turn out for the likes of Biden.

But the promises leaned on heavily last year haven’t come to fruition this year. A new Washington Post story makes that sentiment clear.

"They can’t call me and ask me to serve my brothers up on a platter for their benefit. They can’t have my data, they can’t have access to what I know about Black men from the work that we do, unless I see something serious for Black men. And that requires a conversation with [Black men] long before Labor Day on an election year," Robinson told the outlet.

The point of the Washington Post story being that it seems the Biden administration has botched Democrat chances come midterms time, 2022. Biden's bluster in Georgia over their voting regulations bill from earlier this year that didn't have a meaningful resolution combating the measures taken by the state.

When it came to the Haitian migrants and the so-called "horse whips" debacle at the Del Rio border last month, the Biden administration just banned the use of horses for Border Patrol. They failed to meet their self-imposed deadline over inquiring further about the issue.

According to the Washington Post, that actually mattered to black voters who bought into the things espoused by the likes of Al Sharpton.

"I think the frustration is at an all-time high, and Biden can't go to Georgia or any other Black state in the South and say, 'This is what we delivered in 2021.' Black men are pissed off about the nothingness that has happened...Does it make the work harder? It makes the work damn near impossible," Robinson told the outlet.

The George Floyd Justice in Policing Act is said to have "died" in Congress after they were unable to come to an agreement.

The same is on display again with the current infrastructure bill dispute ongoing in DC. Black Americans feel like they're getting shafted when it comes to funding for Historically Black Colleges and Universities.

The Washington Post got more black voices giving quotes. Nsé Ufot of the New Georgia Project didn’t have nice things to say about Biden either.

"If midterms are about enthusiasm and turnout, who do you think is excited to vote on November 2 at this moment? Because it ain’t Democrats. It ain’t Black folks. It ain’t young people," the activist said.

The outlet's own polling recognizes Biden isn't the most popular guy. Their numbers have the president at a 44 percent approval and 49 disapproval split. The Real Clear Politics projections show an uptick in Biden disapproval, while Biden's approval is taking a downward spiral.

Washington Post says the Biden administration is embracing the tough political climate, but it was just last month that White House press secretary Jen Psaki sniped at reporters over a polling question.

The state of Washington, DC, hangs on the fact Sen. Krysten Sinema isn't returning calls from the White House. What should be a debate over the infrastructure bill has turned into the senator being harassed by activists in the bathroom, with Biden saying it's all "part of the process."

Joe Biden's Presidency Is Burning to the Ground

Quote:The past several months have not been kind to the Biden administration, and the hole they’ve dug for themselves has now turned into a sinkhole they can’t get control of. Economic woes, including the supply chain crisis and inflation, are driving negative attitudes about the president as foreign policy concerns also take their toll.

Evidence of that arrived today as Joe Biden reached a new low, not just in any individual poll, but in the polling averages. FiveThirtyEight, a left-leaning polling aggregator that weights surveys for “house effect,” often in the direction of Democrats, finds the president at an average of 43.3% approval, his worst since taking office. Further, Biden sits above 50% disapproval for the first time in their aggregation.

Those numbers were driven down further by another new poll that looked almost identical to the one Quinnipiac put out yesterday. An A+ rated pollster (per FiveThirtyEight) found Biden’s approval at 37%, but the internals are even worse.

Only 27% of Americans approve of Biden’s handling of immigration, and I’d love to meet the 27% because I’m pretty sure they’d approve of Biden shooting someone in the middle of 5th Avenue. Even more stunning for Biden and Democrats as a whole is that only 36% of Americans feel the economy will get better over the next 12 months. Do you know what is 12 months away? The 2022 election.

Other findings include Joe Biden being tied at 40% with Donald Trump in a hypothetical 2024 rematch, though getting only 40% against a senile old man who has run the country into the ground is hardly something to brag about. Republican voters need to be cut-throat when it comes to the next presidential nominee, ensuring they ditch the emotional attachments and pick whoever is in the best position to win. If that turns out to be Trump, then so be it.

Regardless, the most relevant story today is that Biden’s presidency is burning down in its own rite. Does he have a floor? I don’t think he does, and there’s nothing in the pipeline that suggests he’s going to turn things around. Besides, the White House clearly has no interest in turning things around. They’ve shown no ability to adapt in the face of their failures, instead truly believing that their problems are purely a result of bad messaging. Good messaging doesn’t fix high gas prices and the border, though.

I think Biden could rebound somewhat given how fickle the electorate is, but that’s certainly not going to happen while Jen Psaki mocks Americans and Biden insists the economy is bad because he’s doing such a great job.

"...ensuring they ditch the emotional attachments..."

Sage advice to our friends here who can't stomach Trumps personality. I say to them, get over it, most people don't like you either - if you're at all like me - so shut up and do your patriotic duty to remove these communists.

81 Million Votes? Donald Trump is Crushing Biden with Independents, According to New 2024 Poll

Quote:The record-breaking vote-getter in the 2020 election Joe Biden, who we are told got a fantastical 81 billion trillion million votes, appears to be in a bit of trouble were his presidential re-election bid to be launched today. In a matchup against former President Donald Trump, which the lamestream media has spent more than four years in a rabid blood vendetta smearing, Biden gets obliterated in the critical demographic of independents.

“A Grinnell-Selzer poll found that Trump leads Biden with a 45% to 28% margin among Independent voters in a hypothetical 2024 presidential election,” the Daily Caller noted. “Exactly 20% of the Independent respondents surveyed said they would support another candidate and 7% would not vote at all. The poll surveyed 745 adults between Oct.13-17 with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.6% percentage points.”

It is crucial to note that part where only 20% would vote for another candidate and 7% said they would not vote at all. Despite how polarizing Donald Trump has been for Americans – the Democrats carried out two phony impeachments and are conducting a phony, partisan Jan. 6 investigation against him – only 27% of those non-Biden independents appear to be ‘Never Trumpers.’ This means both that Americans are able to recognize when the country was in better hands, despite all the vitriole and fake news reportage, and that the mainstream media is now in the near zero-trust category for independent voters.

“The poll discovered that Trump and Biden have an equal percentage of likely voters, 40%, that would vote for them in the next presidential election, while 14% said they would support a different candidate,” the Daily Caller reported on the poll. “Both candidates continue to hold firm support within their parties, with 80% of Republicans backing the former president and nearly 90% supporting Biden.”

“The president has time to turn his political fortunes around. But if it doesn’t happen soon, Democrats are likely to face a serious reckoning in the 2022 midterm elections,” Grinnell College National Poll Director Peter Hanson said.

The ‘serious reckoning’ appears to be coming no matter what Biden does. However, there is one thing the American people can be sure of: If there isn’t a 2022 bloodbath before we get to the 2024 president election, the system is more rigged than we thought.

The Startling Statistic That Could Spell Doom for Joe Biden

Quote:The writing has been on the wall for Democrats for some time now, with President Joe Biden’s approval ratings dropping close to basement levels (freefalling after the Afghanistan debacle) and Congress’ approval among a majority of voters being even worse.

But new numbers out from Gallup Polls show a rather startling statistic that is going to keep Joe Biden or, rather, his handlers up late at night trying to figure out ways to overcome. One key bit of data from the poll shows that support among Democrats for the Democrat-controlled Congress has dropped from 55% last month to 33% just one month later:

A 22 percent drop. Among Democrats. Wowsers. No doubt the sirens are blaring big time at Biden HQ today.

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that the big issue here for Democrat voters is their party’s failure to get the reconciliation and infrastructure bills passed after months of frantic back and forth negotiations, even though they control the House and have a razor-thin edge in the Senate.

It could be that if and when these bills get passed, support for the Democrat Congress among Democrats will rebound, but even so, the dye has been cast as even Democrats are now seeing that Joe Biden for all his promises of unity and bipartisanship and getting things done or whatever has proven to be an ineffective “leader” in bringing the warring factions even in his own party together.

But let’s say Biden and Congressional Dems are able to get it together and do a good job of shoring up their base ahead of the 2022 midterms. There is still the big issue of independent voters and their disapproval for Joe Biden, his party, and their handling of things, as indicated by this data point from a recent Fox News poll we reported on:

[twitter]https://twitter.com/johnrobertsFox/status/1450955792044240898[twitter]

As 538 noted last week, the receipts on the cratering support for Joe Biden and the Democrats among independent voters – and Hispanic voters as well, they note – don’t lie:

Over his first nine months in office, President Biden has lost support among Americans of all stripes — men and women, Black voters and white voters, Zoomers and Baby Boomers. Even Democrats writ large are more disenchanted. But two groups with whom Biden has lost support stand out: independents and Hispanics. Independents have soured on Biden to the extent that his approval ratings among this group approach the strongly negative ratings they gave then-President Donald Trump at the same point in his presidency, while increased disapproval of Biden among Hispanics could signal they are moving further away from Democrats after they shifted somewhat toward Trump and the GOP last November.

Needless to say, it’s bad when you’re losing support among your core constituencies. But losing it among your own base, too? Not good. I mean if your own party can’t get things done when they control the House, Senate, and the White House, then why bother to show up? Rest assured that that will be the mindset for some going into next fall’s elections, although to what extent remains to be seen.

Simply put, unless they reverse course, a disaster is in the making for Democrats in 2022 thanks in large part to Joe Biden, a man who even his supporters are starting to realize is not the rescuer in chief he promised to be.

The fact that 55% of them did approve of what congress was doing is mindboggling.

New FDRLST/Susquehanna Poll Shows Biden’s Approval Sliding To 36 Percent, Widespread Disapproval Of Critical Race Theory

Quote:President Joe Biden’s approval ratings are nose-diving, according to a new poll from The Federalist and Susquehanna Polling & Research.

The poll, which surveyed 800 likely voters nationwide from Nov. 1 through Nov. 9 of 2021, shows Biden’s overall approval rating slipping to just 36 percent, with disapproval at 52 percent. Biden’s approval rating among registered Democrats is just 70 percent, according to the poll, with one in five registered Democrats saying they did not approve of the job Biden is doing as president. Among voters who are registered as independents, only 29 percent said they approved of Biden’s job as president, while 50 percent said they did not approve of Biden.

The poll from The Federalist and Susquehanna also found widespread dissatisfaction with Biden’s economic and immigration policies thus far. On immigration, only 23 percent of voters surveyed approved of Biden’s efforts to stop illegal immigration across the U.S.-Mexico border, while 51 percent said they disapproved of Biden’s policies on immigration.

Similarly, 34 percent of voters said they approved of how Biden has handled economic policies, while 51 percent said they did not approve of the job he has done on the economy. When asked who they thought was most responsible for skyrocketing gas prices, a plurality of voters — 46 percent — said they blamed Biden and congressional Democrats. Only 7 percent blamed Republicans, while 43 percent blamed other economic factors.

The lone bright spot in the poll for the 46th president is his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. Fifty-one percent said they approved of how he has handled the pandemic, while 46 percent said they did not approve of his COVID-19 efforts.

Critical race theory, which teaches that white people are inherently racist, is extremely unpopular nationwide across nearly all major demographics, the poll also found. When asked whether they believed critical race theory should be taught in government K-12 schools, 59 percent of likely voters surveyed said it should not be taught, with just 26 percent of voters saying the controversial curriculum should be taught in government schools. Even a majority of registered Democrats — 51 percent — said critical race theory should not be taught in schools.

Opposition to critical race theory also transcends race, according to the poll. A plurality of black voters polled — 49 percent — said critical race theory should not be taught, with 42 percent saying it should be taught in school. Sixty-one percent of white voters and 56 percent of Hispanic voters said that critical race theory should not be taught in government K-12 schools.

The American public also has very little regard for the trustworthiness of corporate media outlets, the poll found. When asked whether they “trust the corporate news media to tell the truth,” only 14 percent of respondents agreed. Seventy-eight percent of those polled said they believed “the corporate news media misrepresents facts to push a political agenda.” Among registered independent voters, a whopping 85 percent said they thought the news media mispresented facts to push political agendas.

The poll also found widespread pessimism about the future of the American public. Instead of asking whether the nation was on the right or wrong track, the poll asked respondents if they believed America is a nation in permanent decline, or if they believed the country’s best days were still ahead of it. Forty-six percent said they believed America’s best days were ahead of it, while 45 percent said they believed America is now a nation in permanent decline.

Biden’s approval rating plummets to all-time low of 36% in new poll

Quote:According to a poll released Thursday, US President Joe Biden’s approval rating has dropped to an all-time low of 36%.

The result is comparable to last month’s Quinnipiac University poll, with a one-point drop since October. Disapproval increased by one point to 53%.

According to the poll, Biden has the lowest approval ratings on record for his handling of the coronavirus pandemic, climate change, the economy, and foreign policy.

Respondents were split 47 percent to 47 percent on whether the president cares about ordinary Americans, but a majority, 51 percent, said he is dishonest, and 57 percent said he lacks leadership skills.

Nonetheless, 57 percent support Biden’s $1 trillion infrastructure package, which he signed into law this week, and 58 percent support his $2 trillion social spending package, which is currently stalled in Congress.

Biden is facing significant economic headwinds, with 61 percent of people saying the economy is worsening and only 16 percent saying it is improving. This comes as Americans face higher gas prices and annual inflation hovers around 6%.

Right on track for my prediction of being in the 20s by January

Voters are saying ‘no’ but Biden isn’t listening

Quote:Plummeting polls are sending a clear message to the Biden administration, but the president is deaf, dumb and blind to it. And it’s not just the polls. Take congressional retirements. Democrats who chair congressional committees, reading the grim poll numbers, figure life will be a lot more comfortable as highly paid lobbyists than as powerless minority members. They are retiring in droves. Historically, retirements by well-informed insiders are strong predictors of the next House majority.

Local elections are sending the same message. They tell Democrats they have moved too far left and that voters’ quality of life is suffering. Voters are especially troubled by inflation, Covid and crime. They are also concerned about illegal immigration, the flood tide of drugs crossing the border, and indoctrination in schools.

That’s what they are saying, repeatedly, at the ballot box. In the heavily Democratic city of Buffalo, for example, the party’s mayoral nominee, an avowed socialist, lost to a write-in candidate, the city’s former mayor. In South Carolina’s capital city, Columbia, a Republican narrowly defeated the Democrat in a city Biden carried by forty points only a year ago. In New York City — the biggest prize of all — the far-left incumbent, Bill de Blasio, will be succeeded by a former police officer. Voters there recoiled from pervasive violence on streets and subway platforms. They know “broken windows” policing once worked in the city and made it much more livable. What they see now is “please break our windows” policing, and they don’t feel safe.

Crime is a major issue across the country — and it is hurting Democrats badly. Last year, as progressives shouted “defund the police,” a cowed Democratic convention failed even to mention the riots breaking out in city after city. Total silence. The “bail reform” they pushed is directly responsible for putting violent offenders back on the streets and behind the wheel in Waukesha.

Now, disappointed voters are responding. They are defeating proposals to defund or reimagine the police in even the most liberal cities, including Minneapolis, the epicenter of the defund movement. The recent spate of smash-and-grab robberies in Los Angeles, the Bay Area and Chicago have ratcheted up public outrage even further, much of it directed at “Justice Democrat” prosecutors who refuse to prosecute “property crimes.” Criminal gangs have taken notice and taken advantage.

Could the message to politicians be any clearer? Any louder? Somehow, though, it’s still not getting through to Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi. They are determined to cling to their unpopular policies, always defending them as “social justice.”

There is a political logic to their obstinacy. Since they expect to lose next year’s congressional elections anyway, they see this fleeting moment as their last, best chance to pass major, progressive legislation. If the Republicans win the House, as seems likely, only bipartisan legislation can pass — and not much of that. It certainly won’t include the kind of transformational social programs Biden and Pelosi want. It’s uncertain whether those will pass this year, either, since the Senate is split 50-50 and some centrist Democrats are wary, but they definitely won’t pass next year. So, why not max out the credit card now, while they still can?

The arguments for all this spending are laughably weak. Take the administration’s claim that another massive spending bill will actually reduce inflation. They say it will make everyone’s life easier and only the rich will pay. Biden, Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Schumer mouth those words, but few others believe them. No one ever believed Biden’s silly claim that the whole, multi-trillion package was free. The new spin is that it is all paid for (with higher taxes) and that only the rich will pay.

That’s a hard sell, too, mostly because it is false. The bill is “paid for” only because it is loaded with budget gimmicks to lower the short-term costs (the only ones Biden and Pelosi calculate) and because it vastly overestimates the revenue they expect to collect from “tax cheats.” Neutral budget calculations show the bill is hundreds of billions in the red, and far more if the other gimmicks are excluded.

It won’t be paid for solely by the rich, either, for two reasons. One is that the bill is inflationary and those costs fall on everyone. The other is that it grants huge tax savings to prosperous families in blue states because it allows them to deduct nearly all their tax bills for property and state-and-local taxes. Those benefits are useless to poor families.

Nancy Pelosi used all her political muscle to force that bill through a closely divided House. She overcame stiff resistance from progressives who considered the bill too weak and delayed its passage for weeks, and from moderates who considered the bill too ambitious and expensive.

But Pelosi’s victory may well hurt her party. The reason: she forced House moderates to take a politically dangerous vote on a bill that won’t pass the Senate and may never become law. Key Senate Democrats have already vetoed the costliest, most progressive elements of the House bill and some of its New Green Deal provisions. Whatever the upper chamber finally approves must return to the House for another vote, where progressives will be even more recalcitrant than they were the first time. What makes this back-and-forth so odd is that Pelosi forced moderate Democrats to vote yes on the earlier bill, knowing it could cost them their seats next year. That vote makes sense only if the House approves the final, Senate bill. If that bill fails, or never makes it to the House, moderate Democrats will have walked the plank for nothing.

The fate of the social spending bill may be unclear, but the fate of the Biden administration and the Democrats is coming into focus. It is not a happy picture. They face a mountain of failures, growing public resistance and very few triumphs. Yes, they have passed some huge spending bills and implemented their preferred policies on immigration and carbon-based energy. But the infrastructure bill won’t produce tangible results for a while and the other policies are unpopular. Ask anyone at the gas pump. Expect more shock when the first heating bills arrive.

To offset these failures, the Democrats haven’t had many successes voters can feel. They’ve had a long string of high-profile failures, and voters feel those acutely. That’s what they keep saying. But Democrats in Washington aren’t listening.
