Supposedly Biden has a 59% approval rating in the recent Pew research survey, second only to Reagan’s 67% and Obama’s 61% over presidents since Reagan. Trump’s was lowest at 39%.
Interestingly, on the question as to whether voters agree with Biden on many or all issues is virtually indistinguishable from Trump (44% to 42%). And 54% say they disagree with Biden on all or virtually issues, about the same as Trump .

From Pew, “But the consistency with which most poll results differed from those election outcomes is undeniable. Looking at final estimates of the outcome of the 2020 U.S. presidential race, 93% of national polls overstated the Democratic candidate’s support among voters, while nearly as many (88%) did so in 2016.”
They recently published an analysis of their own performance with specific notice of their own sampling problems.
Personally, I don’t put much stock in polling results and specifically any that might suggest Biden is succeeding in office. He is likely seen as a failure with respect to his domestic commitments. His “favorability” may be a point or two above Trumps, but that’s a pretty low bar. Hell, Trump was a Russian agent. Promises on Inauguration Day of “unity”…as civil unrest spreads? (And this will likely get worse with the Floyd verdict.) I think he’s at least ten points underwater with the hardcore partisans. You see “unity” in Minnesota?
And if that wasn’t enough, our global competitors are getting ready to test his mettle/cognitive abilities. And he ain’t the guy for the job. And the fools he’s surrounded himself with, Blinken’s Alaska performance wasn’t so strong, was it? Things will get worse.
Mick, we’re left to hope Kamala has kept her knee pads handy. She’s the only one who might be able to get us a happy ending.
And for what it’s worth, a far smarter guy than I points out the obvious performance problems. About now old saying, “Who am I going to believe; you or my lying eyes?” seems appropriate.
