Even left-leaning pollsters are having trouble painting Biden's poor job performance in a positive light. Democrats still support Biden in overwhelming numbers but he is hemorrhaging support among independent voters and Hispanics. Anybody who still believes that the moron in the White House will be the Democrat nominee in 2024 needs to book an appointment for a reality check-up. 

It's fourth and long for Democrats. Time for them to send Harris onto the field for a punt because Republicans are about to take control with great field position if Joe Biden remains president.

Biden Has Largest Decline Than Any Other Post-WWII President, Yet Gallup's Headline Notes 'Steady' Approval

President Joe Biden has an approval rating of 42 percent and a disapproval rating of 52 percent, according to the results of the latest Gallup poll released on Friday. Biden's total third quarter approval rating, for July 20-October 19, was at 44.7 percent, down 11 points from his first quarter rating. Jeffrey M. Jones in his write-up for Gallup acknowledges that the "decline is larger than any prior president registered between his first and third quarters," yet he still chose to go with a headline highlighting how "Biden Job Approval Steady at Lower Level."

To Jones' credit, his headline is accurate in that Biden was at a 43 percent approval rating in September and went down just 1 statistically insignificant point in October to 42 percent. While it is accurate, it hardly seems like the biggest takeaway. 

While it's not much of a difference downward, it's also no improvement. As Jones acknowledges:

His latest rating suggests no improvement in his public support, as Democrats delayed passage of a pair of infrastructure bills due to internal disagreements on their size and scope. The U.S. economy continues to be plagued by supply chain issues, rising inflation and worker shortages, even as economic growth and stock values remain strong and the unemployment rate has fallen to its lowest level of the pandemic.
