CBS Poll: Biden @ 50%

[WHITT]

From 'Face the Nation':

MARGARET BRENNAN: Our CBS News poll out today indicates that the President's approval rating is at 50%.

It's a brand new CBS/YouGov poll.

The Repubs HAVE to be in abject despair.

1. In other words... unchanged from last month

2. When I heard of that poll where they said he was at 38% I knew the sampling was repuke heavy

Where they only represent 33% of the population. And it also depends on how the question was phased.

8. And those polls were taken when Covid deaths were on the rise.

People were not informed as to why it was happening.

3. Fuck the polls.

4. One poll means little. The 538 weighted average is much better. N/T

I suggest posting one poll is to avoided. We're interested in temporal trends not snapshots.

[WHITT]

6. I Agree Completely

I merely posted it to contrast how the MSM and the Repubs have been hammering and hammering on the 38% poll, which as kimbutgar ^ pointed out was oversampled with Repubs.

I even have an issue with the 538 aggregate poll, as it includes several polls that consistently oversample Repubs, which drags the average down. They shouldn't include any polling that oversamples, in either direction, beyond a few percentages.

5. OK if I give him

100%? That's an A+.

[WHITT]

7. Sure

9. I think the only thing holding polls down is the failure so far to pass

the BBB plan. In other words Manchin and Sinama.

10. Like most DUers, I don't necessarily trust the polls..

But. There seems to be a solid 40% who disapprove of Biden's handling of the Presidency.
My question....What the fuck do they want in a President, if they don't like Biden?

The guy speaks well, he confronts things, he has Plans, he has surrounded himself with capable people, and the country - even in the throes of a Pandemic - is doing pretty well... with hopes of doing better.

Biden is 180 degrees from the Orange Menace, and about 40% of the country wants that Creature back.

Even if we keep the House, get a larger number in the Senate, and make it thru the pandemic, this country is quadruple-fucked.

[Mr.Bill]

12. Much of that 40%, thanks to the internet and biased news outlets,

thinks Biden is in full blown dementia, doesn't know where he is or what day of the week it is, and is a child molester and has to read every word he speaks from a teleprompter, because he is incapable of putting a sentence together. Just the other day there were some children at the White House and Biden took them on an impromptu tour of the inside of Marine One, the Presidential helicopter. I'm not even going to look, but I guarantee you somewhere on the internet someone (actually probably many someones) is saying he was raping the children inside the helicopter. And millions of people believe it, and you will not be able to convince them otherwise.

Nothing is going to change that.

11. Finally moving past the Afghanistan BS

About time.

[Mr.Bill]

13. And if we lose the House or the Senate,

there will be constant investigations of that for years to come.
