Captain Unity has done it again!
President Biden's approval rating continued to sink in a new poll released on Sunday, following weeks of drama on Capitol Hill regarding his legislative agenda and the party's losses in Virginia on Tuesday.
The poll was conducted by USA Today and Suffolk University between Wednesday and Friday of last week, just before Democrats passed an infrastructure bill and advanced a social spending package.
It found that Biden's approval rating has fallen to 38 percent after it had been hovering in the low 40s in recent polls.
This is pretty impressive. Remember that Biden was elected during an artificial economic depression and took office from a president who was blasted 24/7 by a hostile national media complex. The dude should be coasting right now. A literal houseplant could have a majority approval rating with those conditions!
It's a historic achievement, then, for Joe to have tanked so fast.
An accomplishment like that takes real effort!!
The latest USA Today-Suffolk University poll found that 46 percent of those surveyed believe Biden is doing a worse job as president than expected, including 16 percent who supported him at the ballot box last year. Forty-four percent of independents said he is performing worse, not better, than they had expected.
That disapproval is already shaping up to have an impact on Biden's chances at reelection in 2024. According to the poll, 64 percent of respondents said they do not want the president to launch a bid for reelection, including 28 percent of Democrats.
Ouch. More people would actually want Trump to run again, and that's really saying something considering how bombastic Trump is and how thoroughly the media spent every waking moment ensuring America knew just how very orange and very bad he is.
For comparison, 58 percent said they do not want to see former President Trump at the top of the GOP ticket either, including 24 percent of Republicans.
Despite sinking polls and the massive Democrat losses during last week's elections, at least Joe found a few weenie House Republicans with no spine to pass his insane spending measure:
The party is now focusing its attention on passing the $1.75 trillion social spending package, dubbed the Build Back Better Act, which is the second part of Biden's legislative agenda. The package includes funding for expanding health care and education programs as well as about half a billion dollars for addressing climate change.
Part of me wants to be OK with him spending that money. It's not going to "build back better." It's going to drive inflation, corruption, and government bloat through the roof.
