Even worse, just 26% of registered independents – like me – approve of the way he’s handling the job.
Biden’s approval craters at 33% | Daily Mail Online
76% of Dems approve of Biden’s performance, as do 3% of Republicans.
And they didn’t even ask about the economy….

I suppose I don’t understand the 76% who apparently approve of his work. Highest inflation in 40 years, COVID mismanagement, quality of schools, climate change, lawlessness throughout society, fentanyl epidemic, illegal/undocumenteds, budget deficit, racism, sexism, crumbling infrastructure, massive wealth inequities, etc., etc.
What are they happy about? What’s going right? The right and left are very far apart on these issues:

Mick have you noticed that people once liberal now talk and behave like war mongering neo cons? And that conservatives now seem like liberals? It has happened almost overnight. Tucker Carlson has moved way left in many ways. The NYT is a mouthpiece for the military industrial establishment. Glen Greenwald talks like conservatives used to. Musk is what? A conservative free speech zealot and a global warming hawk?
Polls are not taking this weird shift into account. I know many people who have radically changed in their views. I don’t recognize them.
It is coming from social media by design I believe. And I don’t think you can poll it because it’s not issues. The polls are simply saying what everyone can see. Joe Biden is horrible.

CNN’s own poll has Biden at 39%. A panel with representatives from CNN, Bloomberg and Time Magazine (so…lefties) stated that Dems are deserting Biden in droves given the poor political leadership and multiple economic disasters and Biden’s rightward tilt to alleviate said disasters (e.g., allowing drilling on Federal land).

Meanwhile, the Minority Leadership in the House, Fred “Paul Ryan” Upton puts the cards face up on the table. Absent a significant majority, republicans will find it hard to legislate as it is necessary to marginalize/ignore/put the lie to their more rightward members. Yea Party part deux?
Upton can permit them to lie to their voters in order to win a majority as long as he can isolate them from participating in the governing process.
But hey Freddy, let’s run on that America First agenda…snicker, wink & fingers crossed. At least Biden tried to follow his campaign commitments.
Here's a toast with one last pour, may it last forever and a minute more;

Bob, Upton is simply stating a fact proven daily in the House. As for Biden, he is adrift on a stormy ocean in a leaky boat with one oar.

I thought, and forgive me if I’m completely incorrect, that Biden ran and won by promising to be a moderate, but since the election has gone further left than “liberal” and has attempted to execute on the Progressive agenda. Am I wrong? Or were you being sarcastic?

BD, personally, I think Upton is simply wrong with respect to how our government should work. He’s hoping for circumstances that would permit the furtherance of his preferred policy outcomes without compromise. That’s his preference, certainly not what’s best.
The “contra Upton” has played out over the last 15 months. Progressives and moderates couldn’t make a deal. Progressives put the Biden Agenda on hold by linking infrastructure and BBB. Manchin said thank you, no. They had to deal. I don’t like what we got, nor do the progressives, nor does Manchin. But Congress had to make decisions affirmatively.
So Upton would be forced to deal with “his guys” instead of simply ignoring them? Tough luck Fred. If you’d prefer…do nothing if you don’t have the requisite skills to negotiate a compromise. There’s plenty of right wingers and “Manchins” to engage with. DO YOUR JOB. Don’t blame voters/districts IN ADVANCE for your inability to succeed.
As to Biden, he paid lip service to many things including killing oil, opening borders, ridiculous self financing spending, ten years of revenue compared to three years of spending, reestablishing our respected leadership in the world and unity? He’s delivered incompetence. At the end of the day, that’s the one promise he skillfully avoided disclosing.

Makes one wonder how voters evaluate performance. From the polling, Democrats seem to view performance on political affiliation. If the person is not Republican, by default he/she is doing a good job.
Compare unfavorable polling between Kevin McCarthy and Hakeem Jefferies. McCarthy is 40% vs Jefferies 21% unfavorable rating. Both are close enough in the favorable polling to call it even at 21%.
I’m willing to bet 90% of voters 1) don’t know what either one does and 2) don’t even know who they are.

Tied to underwater single digits. Not one of the issues claimed to be the most concerning (inflation, the border, crime, etc.) have improved, yet people are no longer angry.

Perhaps in response to the multiple bank failures, continued inflation and yet another Fed increase, Biden’s approval rating in the most recent AP poll has dropped to 38%, his lowest since last July’s 36%. In January, it was 41%; in February, it was 45%.

Remember when Bill Clinton had an “It’s the economy, stupid” sign on his desk? Dissatisfaction with the American economy and lack of hope in our economic future is now nearly felt by 7 out of 10 Americans.
And Joe Biden’s approval rating fell two points to 39% and his disapproval rating rose to 55%. Count me in the 55%.

In general terms, he’s doing fine. I’m amazed the economy / stocks are doing fine. Look for record earnings this past quarter (in inflated dollars). Real world conditions are bad, and financial stress is everywhere. Yet….

First tracking poll I’ve seen in a while where he has positive approval. Interesting data point (considering it’s a daily tracking poll).
