Would they be the ones who are profiting immensely from his clusterf*** of an administration? The ones who are simply brain-dead and brain-washed? The ones getting free money and stuff?
Biden gets low ratings on economy, guns, immigration in AP-NORC Poll
As President Joe Biden embarks on his reelection campaign, just 33% of American adults say they approve of his handling of the economy and only 24% say national economic conditions are in good shape, according to a new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.
Public approval of Biden’s handling of the economy remains low in a time of high inflation, a difficult housing market and concerns about a potential U.S. government debt default. American opinion is also gloomy about Biden’s efforts on gun policy and immigration, with only 31% saying they approve of the president’s performance on those hot button issues. Overall, 40% say they approve of the way Biden is doing his job, similar to where his approval rating has stood for much of the past year and a half.
Zoie Mosqueda, 24, who does not identify with any political party, said her family is ready to buy their first home but with the average mortgage interest rate hovering around 6.9%, that goal, at least for now, is out of reach.
The woman from West Texas said she also has been frustrated with Biden’s handling of gun policy and said he’s fallen short on his campaign promise to implement a fairer immigration policy.
In fairness, the primary driver of poor economic conditions is China’s coronavirus, yet, Biden has done little to better the conditions, as he and his party messed things up through 2021 and 2022. Biden is so cantankerous and out of touch that he really doesn’t push sound policies.
John Billman, 79, of Chapel Hill, North Carolina, said Biden doesn’t get enough credit for passage of the $1 trillion infrastructure bill and $280 billion CHIPS Act aimed at boosting the U.S. semiconductor history, or the historically low unemployment rate. The unemployment rate stands at 3.4%,
The unemployment rate was as low as 3.5% while Trump was president prior to COVID, and you can’t blame him for locking everything down, as that was mostly Democrats. The CHIPS Act was a bipartisan effort for which Biden had little input, and hasn’t really made a difference yet. The infrastructure bill? How much difference is it making? Do you hear about projects? Do you see them?
Biden underperforms on the economy even among Democrats: 61% approve of him on the issue, compared with 75% for his job overall. Democrats feel even more dour about the current condition of the nation’s economy, though they continue to be more likely than Republicans to say the country is headed in the right direction (36% vs. 7%) or to rate the economy as good (41% vs. 7%).
So Dems approve of Biden but only 36% say the country is head in the right direction and 41% say the economy is good? Sounds like partisan wankering. Imagine how much worse the economic conditions would be if Biden wasn’t working just 30 hours a week and taking almost every weekend off?
WHo are the 33%?
Loayl Democrats. In the history of modern political polling(going back to first Clinton Administration), any major political party member can count on getting 43% approval as their solid base. So, 33% approval is catastrophic for Democrats. I’m guessing it is still early in this process and the party is still sorting out if they intend to walk away from Biden as their candidate.
Who are they?
Probably those who can’t tell the difference.

Bwaha! Lolgf
Heard there’s a petition to bring back TWA-Trans World Airlines. Groomers for pilots, men pretending to be women as flight attendants…planes painted in rainbow colors, of course ..
You mean pastels, You bigot!
According to that pole 33% approve of Brandon’s handling of the economy but only 24% say the economy is good, so 9% are saying that they approve of Brandon trashing the economy.
Liberals and idiots. BIRM.
The opposition always whines about the economy. It’s about “feelings” not “reality”.
Note that the rate of drop in unemployment rate didn’t change when Trump took office. We can all say he didn’t interfere with President Obama’s healing economy following the Bush Great Recession. During the Trump pandemic unemployment reached nearly 15%! Congress reacted quickly and began pumping nearly $5 trillion into the economy, rapidly halving the rate with a continued gradual decrease to today’s 3.5%. The economy was strong going into the pandemic so the recession was brief.
We have a worker shortage, supply chain issues (residual from Covid), a non-existent immigration policy, too big a deficit (~ 130% GDP since 2020), impending debt ceiling nonsense (Repubes holding economy hostage), crumbling infrastructure, inflation (but softening), too great income/wealth disparities, housing shortages, a continuing drug pandemic, national weltschmerz, increasing violent crime rate, mass shootings… little of which can be fixed with speeches or rallies.
Yes, the “healing” that only took 7 years, twice as long or more then any previous recession.
Thanks to mostly Democratic governors and mayors who decided what work was and wasn’t “essential”. Sorry, child, can’t lay that at Trump’s feet – unless you are saying he should have acted like a dictator and overruled them.
Remind me again – who was president going into the Dempanic?
Little bit of editing needed.
It took more gov’t spending than was allocated. To speed it up, spend more money. Why didn’t Congress act?
Sorry, child. Remind us who was President during Trump’s presidency? LOL. The buck stops there??
Remind me again – who was president when unemployment exploded? Sorry, can’t have it both ways.
Trillions of dollars of spending were signed by President Trump. The debt jumped from ~100% GDP to ~130% GDP in 2020. Remind me again – who was president in 2020? Sorry, can’t have it both ways.
Bidens best/only chance at reelection is if Trump is he is opponent.
Blue states will continue to give money to DC to be distributed out to our poor cousins in red states
