Joe Biden Approval Rating Boosted Ahead of Midterms: Poll

[TexasTowelie]

President Joe Biden's approval rate bounced back on Friday, with 44 percent of U.S. citizens being satisfied with the way the president he's handling his job, according to a new poll.

The numbers are still much below the public support Biden received at the beginning of his presidency, but they're a significant improvement from his personal low of 36 percent reported by Reuters in May.

Back in January 2021, the president was still receiving a majority approval rating, with 57 percent of U.S. citizens expressing satisfaction with the work he was doing. His approval rate dropped under 50 percent as COVID-19 cases soared across the country last summer, and was then significantly tanked by the hasty withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan in August 2021.

A combination of the lingering impact of the pandemic on supply chains, the war in Ukraine shooting up energy and fuel prices and soaring inflation has contributed to the public's unhappiness with Biden's handling of his job. Since May, it has hovered at levels around 36 percent.

1. Yeah that's a pretty solid jump

[elleng]

2. 44 percent of U.S. citizens being satisfied

[underpants]

3. This is a Rasmussen poll???

Wow.

[Locutusofborg]

20. Its been upside down polling for a while

Rasmussen has had Biden at 43-44 for several weeks while the NY Times poll has been Biden's lowest, 33%.

4. Those are good numbers from this one poll ...

[Fiendish Thingy]

5. If the Inflation bills gets passed, that should put him over 50% approval. Nt

[onetexan]

15. HEAR HEAR!!

[dchill]

6. Despite the best efforts of "liberal" media.

[crickets]

8. +1

[BumRushDaShow]

9. I just heard a stupid story this afternoon on the radio

about the jobs report that at the end, included the lie (paraphrased) - "but with gas and food prices rising...".

They're still purposely repeating "The Narrative®".

[dchill]

16. They've all got to do what they can.

[SunSeeker]

22. MSNBC reported the great job numbers by handwringing, "Are these number too good?"

[Kingofalldems]

7. Kick and rec for Trump's secret pals.

[peggysue2]

10. Here we go!

Biden's numbers tumbled with the Afghan withdrawal and slid with every bad headline.

Now, however?

Biden's accomplishments have been nothing short of extraordinary, the Kansas vote created a narrative thread to die for, the J6 Committee has uncovered more than anyone anticipated and the sluggish polls are finally reacting.

Couldn't happen at a better time as we barrel towards an election of our lifetime.

The Universe has decided to give us a break.

[dchill]

17. The Universe is probably ready to give us a break...

...The Beltway Press? Not so much.

[peggysue2]

19. Hey, I'll go with the Universe on our side

The Beltway press can stick it. At some point, they'll need to accept the reality--POTUS and the Democratic Party is swinging out of the rough and back on the fairway.

I like our odds.

[Kingofalldems]

11. Great day!

Trolls scurrying for 'bad things about Biden/Democrats' stories to post.

[calimary]

12. It's been long in coming. People just waking up, maybe?

This will be the third time I’ve written an “ask” about thanking President Biden for what he’s done for America. Had two, for my Indivisible group’s weekly Call to Action emails, this past spring. Each time, they’re longer.

This one’s riffing off the latest drop in the unemployment rate, from 3.6% in June to 3.5% in July, with an additional 500,000-PLUS new jobs created.

The ask is to our Senators and Congressmembers to stand with Biden not only now but in September when they’re all back at work.

[oldsoftie]

13. A LOT of people will vote AGAINST trump picks regardless of their opinion of Biden.

We had people here who didnt much care for Biden as the nominee but damn sure voted for him.

[Moostache]

14. January of 2021? Approval for what? Taking the Oath of Office?

Some of these polls and references make me ill...

[DownriverDem]

18. Pretty clear

some folks don't get what a president can and can't do. The Dems need more votes to pass the legislation we all want.

[EnergizedLib]

21. Amazing what can happen

When the other side shoots themselves in the foot, right?

[Hermit-The-Prog]

23. Well, in my house and the one closest to me, his rating is 100%.

[867-5309.]

24. There's been steady improvement for the last couple of weeks

in the RCP avarage.
