So, Biden Is At 62% Approval, And Trump Never Managed To Crack 50%. He Was Usually Between...

Last edited Tue May 25, 2021, 04:13 AM - Edit history (1)

...35% and 45%.

So, Biden is routinely coasting about 15% higher than Trump. And yet, Trump's batshit crazy followers still think it's IMPOSSIBLE for Biden to have won the election. (Yeah, yeah, those polls are all 'suppression polls,' and the election was rigged, and blah blah..and WAAH! I don't accept the results, and so I'm just gonna BREAK STUFF because I'm pissed off.)


Let me see if I've got this straight:

-The OPINION polls had Biden 15 points ahead of Trump BEFORE the election
-Biden WON the election
-The OPINION polls show Biden is STILL 15 points ahead of Trump

So, the REAL question should be, If Biden was 15% ahead, both before and after the election, why did he only manage to win the election by 4.4%? I'll tell you why. It's because of MASSIVE election rigging by the State GOP legislatures, that's why! Yes, there is vote tampering going on, but it's not AGAINST Trump, it's FOR Trump.

Republican State legislatures have gerrymandered the voting districts, caged voters, intimidated voters, inconvenienced voters with long lines in Democratic districts; and at the very last minute, they sent out Louis De Killjoy out to FUCK UP the POST OFFICE to suppress the MAIL IN ballot AS WELL! That's how you beat a 15% polling advantage down to an anemic little 4% election victory.

The BIG LIE isn't just about the lie that Trump won the election because of Democratic voter tampering. The BIG LIE is also to distract attention away from the REAL issue...REPUBLICAN voter tampering.


The voting system needs to be FIXED, or NOTHING ELSE MATTERS.

of the elections. I became really enlightened after the 2000 fiasco. Florida was ground zero for the new Republican focus. Keep your principles and select your voters. I believe Gore and Kerry won. I think Florida and Ohio were the focuses back then, but every Republican controlled state is hellbent on keeping themselves in power. The crimes are piling up and the stakes seem to grow by the day.

There is a high stakes poker game going on....1 side wants to preserve the Democracy....the other side wants a 1 party state. Time to kill the filibuster and pass serious federal voting protections and whatever economic legislation that needs to happen. Hire 500 Voting rights attorneys and 3000 IRS auditors....time is now.

I remember the scene - over there on t.v. - locally at a restaurant hang-out for local politicos, Fed employees, plain old Dems - everybody thrilled with anticipation at having our person having won and being sworn in --------- and then ROBERTS taking a SHIT on it. We were deflated. OBAMA was taken off guard, looking *quizzically* at ROBERTS, like what's-happening-here?

It knocked the air out of all of us. Did ROBERTS do it as an idiot or as a total saboteur? I'm not over it.

And that stupid do-over was the first iteration of the crazies claiming the second swearing in was done in secret because they didn't want anybody to know he was sworn in on a KORAN, an Al Qaida bomb-making manual, and a photo of William Ayers, and blah blah blah...

Not that they NEED an excuse to make up a crackpot conspiracy, but it was their first excuse, thanks to that ding-dong Chief Justice.

WAY BACK in the Newt years the Republicans realized that control of STATE houses would help them control the WHITE house.
While not keeping control of the White House, their gerrymandering has certainly kept things on a very nasty edge regarding the differential between PUBLIC support and VOTING support.
When 37% of the population is still controlling the budget and programs that are proposed by the President, SOMETHING IS WRONG - and, as the OP stated, the SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE FIXED!!!!

"Because people love Trump, and hate Biden!"

He really believes that. I'm going to show him this poll tomorrow. Of course, he'll say it's fake or something, to which I'm afraid I'll have to say, "No, Trump is fake. And you're choosing to think he's true and everything else including me and these polls are lies."

He always genially implies that I am just about alone in my antipathy to Trump and appreciation of Biden. I guess if he accepted the majority likes Biden, he might have to question Trump's lies about winning.

comfortable enough to toss away the chipping tools and bring out jackhammers. But, even then, they are backstopping their efforts in that arena by taking over the legislative aspect and enabling themselves to void the results of that voting, if they deem it necessary.

This makes me smile




The site noted, “The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows that 54% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Biden’s job performance. Forty-three percent (43%) disapprove.”

Rasmussen also tweeted, “Reader Update: President Biden may be on track for his highest 3-day average daily presidential job approval % of his new presidency. Developing.”


The numbers drew immediate condemnation from Republican Twitter. A number of the pollster’s Twitter followers called the information fake and threatened to stop following the feed.

Democratic Ted Lieu was in a celebratory mood upon seeing the numbers. The California lawmaker tweeted, “From the conservative leaning Rasmussen poll, these are great numbers for President Biden. Turns out that the American people like a POTUS who is focused on beating the pandemic, creating jobs, and not inciting an insurrection.”
