    Q-publicans hate him because he has been undoing all the nasty things Trump set up.

    The Rump never reached up to Biden’s low.

    If you can’t even MAKE UP something bad to say about his performance, you can always trash his polling numbers. Because that’s what REALLY counts, right?

    Sheesh.

    Wake up folks, Biden and his administration don’t have a clue. I actually think Biden is a figurehead. He doesn’t really have the mental acuity to do a proper job.

    Yes, but unlike the former guy, this one doesn’t care about approval numbers, he just cares about doing the right thing. Which he’s done. Caring is something the previous guy doesn’t understand, unless it is about caring… for himself, and himself alone.

    Oh, yeah, Lisa. Biden’s approval rating is “down” to 47.6 percent, from a high of 53 percent. How did Trump do, you ask? Trump’s median approval rating during his term was 44 percent. Any comments, Lisa?

    When the polls showed people hated The Former Guy, polls meant nothing. Now all of a sudden they mean everything. It is just like the Deficit which is only important under Democrats.

    What about Trump’s low approval numbers the entire time he was in office? Never anywhere as good as Biden’s even now.

    His ratings are way down across NATO allies as well. Not good for the US.

    Again, kind of funny AND it’s not just a cheap slam. I would point out however that even at this temporary low point in Biden’s popularity, he still has numbers that Trump never achieved in 4 years.

    Per RCP, more polls show Biden above water than below, over the past week or so.

    When did Republicans start believing in polls? Every poll showed Trump with dismal approval numbers, and we were told then that the polls were all rigged.

    They are dropping, but they are still better than Trumps were when he was in power.

    With the situation in Afghanistan and the drive to bring Delta under control, Biden’s polls are dropping, but it’s nothing he can’t bounce back from. Especially if we get the Americans and the Afghanis who helped them out safely and start bringing the case numbers down across the country. Biden’s still doing better than Trump (who never had an approval rating well above fifty during his time in office). But just as deficits suddenly matter under a Democratic President, polls suddenly matter too.

    If he keeps dipping low enough, he might get close enough to see Trump…

    Despite weeks of attacks by the “liberal media,” he’s still at 54%.

    Donald Trump never had 50% approval for his ENTIRE term in office. He’s the only President since polling began who never had 50% approval for his entire term in office.

    And his moron followers still can’t believe he lost.

    Being a leader is about doing the right thing and not caring about polling which is driven by media scrutiny. Just look at all the war hawkish folks CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News have put on TV to criticize Biden; not for the bad execution, but just for withdrawing troops period. Didn’t see this much scrutiny when Trump negotiated the deal last year.

    Poll: 1. Was Biden right to withdrawal? Majority of Americans agree. 2. The withdrawal and evacuation is going well? Majority of Americans disagree. How you shape the question is how you shape the narrative. Right?

    What a shame for poor Lisa. Educated. Talented. Articulate. And yet has NOTHING positive to say about anyone.

    She couldn’t support Trump, all she could do was kick the Democrats. Now that Trump is gone she can focus her attention on Biden.

    If Biden is smart and Democracy loving, he will make all the long-needed hard policy decisions and then let Harris run next-term.
