27. I think the poll is close to accurate - but also far less dire than it appears

Joe obviously has no support from the right, and is struggling with independents. This is no surprise in our hyper partisan and media drama driven political landscape. That is a mirror of Trump's poor polling; though Trump's issues with indies were from his own oafish behavior, while Joe is getting beat up over inflation.

Where he is also losing, and driving his support to these record lows, is with the far left. We see this on DU, our most progressive members are frustrated with Joe and his admin (especially the DoJ) at not doing more and pushing harder.

It is less dire than it appears, because those disapproving of Joe for being too moderate / soft will still pretty reliably turn out and vote blue.
