Latest CNN poll: Biden at 50% approval.

"In the new poll, 50% approve while 49% disapprove, largely unchanged from a CNN poll conducted in August and September. The public also splits over whether Biden has done more during his time in office to unite the country (51%) or divide it (49%)."

One poll means little. The 538 weighted average is much better. acantharchus Oct 2021 #2

Next week, that same CNN will have him underwater with tRump ONLY voters, and especially ask the white males who voted for tRump how they feel about Pres. Biden.

They almost never interview Dem voters, or ask them how they feel about Pres. Biden, just like they rarely if ever interviewed Dem voters or asked them what they thought about tRump while he was in HIS stolen presidency

The CNN poll is rated as "C". 538 has the President at about 45% approval, a much better reflection of a temporal trend rather than a snapshot from a poorly rated poll.

Considering the media campaign to scream out and stretch out his every faux pas, even when there is none.

I'd like to see them simply show the public how Biden was constrained by TFG's "treaty" with the Taliban. Explaining how the only times Biden worked outside those constraints was to reduce the impact of TFG's ineptitude, minimizing that impending disaster. Or just quote some statistics on the number of Afghan aides expected to be taken into US by TFG vs actual number who were given refugee status. Also how many US citizens are actually still in country after the months of fair warning and, of those, how many are staying of their own volition.

I'd also like for them to tell the public how many feet of new border wall have been constructed since Jan. 29th. How many feet of wall constructed in the last 5 years replaces an existing fence. How many of those seeking refuge in the US are turned away, allowed entry or awaiting judgement. How many are still squatting in Mexico?

You see, facts are freedom. Lies are tyranny.

👍

They (specifically Fox and MSM to follow) are going to load the supply chain problem and gas prices on him. Gas prices is just something POTUS’s have to deal with. Christmas is a longer story but 10 second quips about it aren’t going to explain it so....

To provide context about how exactly Biden is “divisive”- I mean, other than being a Democrat and not a Republican? I never understood the charge against Obama either.

A GOP with polls at 43 %, look how much his polls improved.
