President Joe Biden's approval rating hits new low in latest Quinnipiac poll

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2021/10/06/biden-approval-rating-hits-new-low-latest-quinnipiac-poll/6024631001/

Biden’s approval rating has dropped to 38%, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday. That’s down from 42% three weeks ago and from a high of 50% in mid-February.

“Battered on trust, doubted on leadership, and challenged on overall competency, President Biden is being hammered on all sides as his approval rating continues its downward slide to a number not seen since the tough scrutiny of the Trump administration,” Quinnipiac University polling analyst Tim Malloy said in a prepared statement.

While the Quinnipiac poll has Biden at an all-time low approval rating, an analysis of various polls by FiveThirtyEight shows it remains at 44%. That is 6 points higher than the Quinnipiac poll.

The poll surveyed 1,326 adults between Oct. 1-4. Its margin of error was 2.7 percentage points.

1. blah blah blah

People are just tired of everything on the news. They just want the government to go to work and quit yapping. They want all politicians to just shut up and do their work.

They just want to watch more mindless ballgames.

If things don't get better they may take up pickleball.

[underpants]

5. I agree

I hate pickle ball because I used to hit the gym to shoot hoops only to find out a pickle ball tourney going on. 😡

2. Good Thing There's Not An Election Next Month

I pray to God that things are turned around by next November.

[DET]

28. Yes, There Is

November 2, 2021 - Virginia Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, House of Delegates. I pray to God things are turned around by THIS November.

[brooklynite]

23. Yes! Let's disregard polling....unless its positive for us.

[msongs]

4. it's the manchin/sinema penalty nt

[Celerity]

15. +1

[viva la]

6. 9 months in....

Remember where Obama was at this point?
And hmm, didn't he serve two full terms, winning two majorities?

He "wasted" a lot of his first mandate getting the ACA, and yeah, that brought the awful 2010 election. But... but it was worth it-- for us and for him.

Joe is "wasting" his mandate on getting most of us vaxxed and past the pandemic, and this great big infrastructure bill. The sausage-making part is discouraging everyone. But when we get all that money flowing into the economy-- and when all that $ that was going to that eternal war stops flowing into the war!-- everyone who voted for him-- a healthy majority-- will like him again.

He's smart to do the hard stuff and painful stuff when he still has three years of his term, and still a year before the next midterm election.

[brooklynite]

24. 9 months in....

Remember where Carter was at this point?

54%

Polling today says nothing about future election prospects

[viva la]

26. And Bush I--

80%

Both Carter and Bush lost their re-election.

[madville]

7. It's expected, been a rough couple of months

The southern border, Afghanistan, etc were not handled well at all. But those situations can fade from memory.

The BIG problem are his numbers on the economy, 39% approval-55% disapproval. People are paying more at the pump and the grocery store since he took office. That’s what affects people everyday. If the economic trends and inflation continue, the midterms are gonna be tough. Clinton, Bush, Obama, and Trump all lost majorities in Congress during midterms.

That’s the downside with being in charge, your side is gonna get all the blame.

[underpants]

22. 👆this. Yep.

The border and Afghanistan are definite negatives. Some of that’s media sure but that’s not the only reason. Yes the pump and the grocery store are immediate indicators for most people. The details don’t matter.

[viva la]

29. In my town, unemployment is so low--

The McDonalds is offering $14 an hour.

That makes me pretty economically happy. And... it's the market in action. Supply and demand, and for once, it's helping workers.

[ffr]

8. My own poll shows 100% approval for JRB, no higher rating.

Of course, I don't watch cable news or listen to talking heads. Consequentially, those same talking heads who, like Facebook, have it in their financial interest to level the playing field, create anger and controversy whether there is any or not.

So yeah, I have nothing be admiration for every one of our 48 democratic senators, our executive branch democrats and all of our democratic congresspersons. They are doing an awesome job.

Thank you to them. Keep up the great work!

[PortTack]

11. Love your attitude!! The Dems are NOT going to vote for tfg!!

The young ppl who truly help elect our president and almost exclusively identify as independents are NOT going to vote for the tfg.

We are 7 million more than them..where do they get these numbers? Seriously!

[brooklynite]

25. No, but some of them are not going to vote.....

Republicans and Independents who votes for Biden over Trump also voted for Republicans in the House and Senate, and will likely do so in 2022.

[Budi]

9. The poll surveyed 1,326 adults between Oct. 1-4 😄

Where'd they find the 1326 adults to poll?

Red States? Fox News?
13 fking hundred people.
That's just lazy

[PortTack]

14. That's what I want to know. The independents don't support tfg, certainly dems don't

We WAY out number the dying gqp..the magical shrinking party that ppl are leaving in droves

Sure....

The polls are seriously flawed as the last 3 election cycles pointed out. Not buyin it

On edit: we have done relatively well in the special elections this year. That is as good of indicator of how Dems are doing as anything!!

[underpants]

21. I was surprised by that low number but they figured the MOE as less than 3

So generally that’s considered a good poll. I could be an outlier but we’ll see.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

10. The aggregate at 538 is 44.9%

We are in definite need of wins:

12. This fucking country, man.

Back Seat Drivers all.

[Locutusofborg]

13. And the aggregate at realclearpolitics.com

which leans center-right is 44.6%.

[senseandsensibility]

19. Thanks for the perspective

Although Jake Tapper was practically foaming at the mouth about this, I don't trust his analysis at all. So I was pretty sure that context was missing.

[Celerity]

16. looks to be a bit of an outlier so far (granted a small sample size in terms of number of polls)

https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/biden-approval-rating/

[underpants]

20. Yes this could very well be an outlier.

We’ll see

[mvd]

17. I still worry about America

Just at the store today I heard so much misinformation about the $3.5 trillion. The biased corporate media isn’t helping. And of course there is so much full on RW Qpublican talk on the radio and TV. Being the hopeful person I am, I think that President Biden will rebound. He’s done an excellent job.

[PortTack]

18. FYI: looking at President Obama's approval ratings over his tenure he had different times

Where his approval ratings were 41%, 43% and 41% ..so there you have it. Certainly one of the most popular presidents had times as well.

[Mad_Machine76]

27. I'd be more worried

if we were closer to the midterms or the 2024 Presidential Election and this is where he is at (assuming this isn't an outlier).

[Polybius]

30. This is not good, no matter how you look at it

It took Trump of all people till January, 2021 to dip into the 30's (around the time of the insurrection).
