Biden 38% approval / 57.5 disappoval - lowest yet

[ExpressLane]

When trump left office his job approval was 34%.

And that makes you feel better....how???

[Flash]

even Trump never got this low and he had an extreme hostile press.
Everybody is down on Biden - Nov is gonna be a blood bath
of the current RCP samples only Marist has him at 40 -everything else he's below 40

Presidential approval rating determines mid-term congressional results? Is that what determines your vote for your U. S. Rep and Senator?

We're better off than we were when Trump left. By the time Biden leaves office, it's likely we'll be able to conclusively say that yet again, a Republican crashed the economy, and a Dem led us to recovery (as we did w/ both Clinton & Obama).

I wouldn't count the eggs in the pudding yet on the mid-terms either. Dems will lose seats, because the party out of power always does - but I don't think it will be many. Roe has re-energized the left, despite righties constantly telling us that "no one cares" about it.

you would have to get the suburban vote (particularly women) who vote abortion "rights" over the economy. and recall the "pro-life" factions are energized over the demise of Roe as well

Suburban women have kids and families and are hurting like everyone else

dream on. when inflation happens the prices never come back down-a recession is the way out,
but even there prices remain high, they just stop climbing and people get thrown out of work.

Biden is the ultimate fuck up - now he's going after drilling in the Permian Basin

not really
You are just hearing complains from Progs that Biden is not Prog enough for their desires

Look at his numbers with black voters. While still in the positive they are well below the percentage of the vote he received. While part of the displeasure of course could be they think he's not progressive enough these folks thought he wasn't handling issues like the police, voting etc. as well as he should. Ultimately in our system of gov't the President only has so much power but nonetheless they are the ones who receive all the credit/blame.

Many black voters thought Obama wasn't progressive enough yet still gave him positive approval ratings, which far fewer are doing for Biden.

it's well know when a Party in power POTUS has extremely low numbers, it hurts the down ticket

House Rating Changes: Eight More Moves, Including Six in Republicans’ Direction
https://www.cookpolitical.com/analys...ix-republicans
's going to take more time to gauge whether the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade will meaningfully narrow Republicans' enthusiasm advantage. But early district-level polling and primary turnout continues to paint a bleak picture for House Democrats, with President Biden's approval badly underwater in competitive seats and surprising opportunities for the GOP in places like Rhode Island and California's Central Valley. This week we're shifting six races in Republicans' direction and two in Democrats' direction. There are now 38 Democratic-held seats in Toss Up or worse compared to 10 for the GOP. We're maintaining our fall outlook of a GOP net gain of between 20 and 35 seats.

Thats true. Blacks have been slowly softening for Dems - but still very reliable.
I haven't looked at his numbers by blacks.

He's getting killed by Hispanic numbers as well -some down in the 20's

When trump left office his job approval was 34%.

The lowest Trump got to in January 2021 RCP was 39.3

An easier prediction is the president's party almost always loses seats in mid-terms. Presidential approval and the economy are factors affecting the results.

It's wishful thinking that pro-lifers are energized over Roe.

They won. A fight that took 5 decades, and they got what they wanted. There goes a whole lotta fundraising for the GOP.

Biden is hardly the "ultimate fuck up." That's partisan nonsense. He inherited a mess, and not even 2 years in, has made quite a bit of progress on a lot of fronts. Inflation is the one big negative, and that's global.

Wow - a 1 point different from Biden.

Certainly something to crow over. For the desperate.

How many House members are seeking Biden's endorsement

And Trump got relentlessly attacked by the media.

How come on 1/6, your candy ass was here on JPP and not in DC stopping the steal you alleged occurred?

[cawacko]

Is that what determines your vote for your U. S. Rep and Senator?

It’s a fair question to ask what drives someone’s votes. Obviously many are voting for their party’s candidate regardless. But plenty of people also vote both Dem and Rep. There must be data out there showing how many prefer mixed gov’t etc. among those who vote for both parties

[LV426]

And Trump got relentlessly attacked by the media.

Bullshit...the media loves Trump because he brings ratings.

Now, why were you here on JPP on 1/6 instead of in DC fighting the "fraud"?
