Why Joe Biden’s historically low approval ratings matter

Published

on



President Joe Biden’s approval rating has taken a tumble since his first days in office — to the second-worst of any recent president during this point in his first term. In the latest episode of The Point, CNN’s Chris Cillizza explains why Biden’s numbers are so low, and what this could mean for Democrats in 2022.

    CNN helped put him in office and now they say his ratings are low.

    Maybe they're just idiots.

    Joe Biden, the human piece of garbage approval rating cannot be higher than 20 percent.

    Joe Biden went from the most votes in US election History to one of the most Unpopular Presidents Ever? LOL, you know damn well the 2020 election was not on the up & up.

  19. @adudley6163

    December 30, 2023 at 7:43 am

    Let's remember that Biden inherited Trump's fallout while in office. Trump didn't do anything but give top 1% a tax break Meanwhile he was sucking up to Putin and trying to make his family richer while in office.

  23. @dnmoscato92

    December 30, 2023 at 7:43 am

    They is no way it's even remotely close to those numbers. I'm guessing it's below 20% but they will do anything to cover for this failure as a president and a human being. You would be a GOD DAMN IDIOT to think he's doing even close to a decent job. He's F'ING AMERICANS right in their butts. FAILURE

    Imagine how much higher Trump’s approval ratings would have been had media outlets treated him with the kid gloves they use for Biden.

    Abortion is the way to not let Joe Biden sexually assault kids like he did his own kids and grandkids…lemme guess, Dems, that’s ok as long as the child consented? Demons

  27. @raymondcook8364

    Low popularity? Where are those mythical 81 Million Democrats who voted for Joey?

    Do Not use the Mail-In ballot in November and in 2024.

    Get out and vote in person.

  28. @janejohnstone5795

    December 30, 2023 at 7:43 am

    As soon as Biden resigns,..it's straight to the nursing home…for a very long recovery. ……

  29. @janejohnstone5795

    December 30, 2023 at 7:43 am

    Soo…low,..he will have to resign…out of embarrassment and complete devastation.

  30. @janejohnstone5795

    December 30, 2023 at 7:43 am

    I think it is even lower,…than he says…really low….will go down ,very low by …really, rock bottom low by November, midterms. .hit down to 5%.
