Recent polls have confirmed what has been apparent to many political analysts for months: Americans are becoming increasingly fed up with President Joe Biden and Democrats in Congress.
In a recent Politico/Morning Consult poll, 41% of respondents said that Democrats have thus far accomplished less than they had expected, whereas only 10% of respondents said they accomplished more than expected.
Similar numbers for found for Biden himself: 42% say he’s accomplished less than expected, with 11% saying he’s accomplished more than they had expected.
A separate poll conducted by NPR/PBS Newshour/Marist found that a measly 41% of Americans approve of President Biden’s performance while 55% disapprove, and that his approval among independents dropped by 8 points in just a single week – a truly worrisome sign for Democrats.
Overall, independents – a crucial demographic in Democrats’ and Biden’s election prospects – disapprove of Biden by a 3 to 1 margin. Just 29% of independents said they support the president’s job performance.

What makes someone an “independent”
Hillary is from the 10% who in jubilation declared that Joseph R. Biden Jr. is doing a superb job. And she’s holding know because her hillBilly said she the smartest woman in all of America.
Coffee Addict, it’s simple: Anyone who isn’t a registered Democrat or Republican is an independent.
This report makes me think. First of all, 41% is not “measly”, albeit nothing to boast about. Secondly, a few weeks ago there were polls showing him at 38%, so maybe he has improved his ratings. And thirdly, considering the horrible job Joe and the Dems have been doing for the past year, any percentage positive is rather unbelievable. I can’t believe that any independents approve of Biden, let alone 29%!
But the real truth is that the Dems probably have nothing to worry about in the long run. Remember that the likely overturn of Roe v. Wade is being announced by SCOTUS late summer, i.e. right before the midterm elections. That will jar even the “independents” enough to remind them why they’re not conservatives, and they will quickly conform with the Dems.
…Just sayin’…
polls and statistics are boooooooooooooorrrrriiinngggg. they change daily and 2024 is far far away.
Americans continue souring….
I thought it’s a done deal.
If he still has any percentage of a positive approval rating it must be coming from a mental asylum or the graveyard.
