Biden’s in Big Trouble and the Democrats Need Someone to Dump On

The Washington Post and ABC are not exactly hotbeds of cheer leading for conservatives or Republicans. So when they deliver bad news for Joe Biden, that s one of the few things they report that you can believe.

Today s polling news is bad in spades. I ll just give you some highlights.

Biden s approval rating is not just underwater but under the ocean: 36% approve of his job performance and 56% disapprove, including 47% who strongly disapprove. I have never heard of a President s being re-elected with those numbers.

Bad as that is, it gets worse when you dig into the details. According to the Post, Biden s approval rating is underwater among a slew of groups that supported him by wide margins in 2020. He stands at 26 percent approval among Americans under age 30, 42 percent among non-White adults, 41 percent among urban residents and 46 percent of those with no religious affiliation.

The economy is expected to be the No. 1 issue next year, and by 54 % to 36 %, Americans say Trump did a better job handling the economy when he was President than Biden has done during his term.

63 % say Biden does not have the mental sharpness to serve effectively as president, up from 43 % in 2020 and 54 % a year ago. A similar 62 % say Biden is not in good enough physical health to be effective.
