Current average - 55% approval, 42% disapproval. Rasmussen, a right-leaning, has him with in the low 50% range on the plus side, and low 40% on the negative side.

Why is Biden so popular? My view is that people like how he's handling the covid19 crisis and approval of his infrastructure reform legislation.

Perhaps he's helped by the fact, GOP can no longer see reality and will "cancel" anybody that doesn't bow down to the incredibly unpopular ex-president. See for example Liz Cheney being the victim of GOP cancel culture.

Plus Biden isn't lying like a m***** f***** every 5 seconds.
 
If you listen to the folks on here who still support trump, they'll tell you that poll is bullcrap and anyway who pays attention to polls.

It's only the gop leadership who keeps saying no while the base is saying yes, do something, help govern instead of just saying no.

This is exactly why Biden and the Dems are doing so well. They are actually proposing ideas that actually impact their constitutes. The GOP still cannot let go of the 2020 election.

It's nice to see that the majority of this country is not going along with that. But it's dismaying that it's still as close as it is, and just such a bare majority. It shouldn't have to be like this.

But then again, more people in this country believe in UFO abductions, Elvis sightings at the local grocery store, and Bigfoot sightings than in basic evolutionary biology. So I guess that's what we are dealing with here.

Biden's numbers are pretty normal for a new president -- low 50% approval. We have just been through a time period with anomaly president, who consistently polled in the low 40% on the approval side. If the public continues to see Biden in a positive light, the Biden/Harris should win in 2024.

The Democrats seemed to have learned from the painful lessons of 2009-2010. If the Republicans refuse to negotiate with them in good faith, then they will go at it alone. (y)

Absolutely! Biden himself personally saw the GOP play Obama. I'm sure he learned a lesson.
 
Perhaps that's a driving force. We have a boring president now.
Well nominally yes...who would not be in favour of a change of power towards a guy who does not wanna cancel democracy(Biden)...(unlike the madman Trump)

But in my eyes Biden has unfortunately been the huge dissapointment I have feared he was gonna be...

Leftism all the way...from CRT to a spending palooza...

Look...Like everyone else I was happy the loon who wanted to end democracy (Trump) lost...But that does not mean I approve of the Bidens' administrations hardcore left turn...
 
Interestingly enough, Biden is polling well on Rasmussen Reports:

As some may remember, Rasmussen Reports was a go-to during the previous administration since it was one of the few that polled Trump at ~50% approval.
 
Right leaning RCP? Bwahahahahahahahahahahahaha!


Sorry it's not the new version of the right that believes in a multitude of brain-dead conspiracy theories.

Here's the lean ratio of the different polls RCP included. a D 1,6 means that polls leans Democratic by 1.6 points, a R 1.1 means that poll leans Republican 1.1 points.

Rasmussen R 1.5
ReutersIpsos D 1.6
Harvard D 0.1
The Hill/Harris X R 1.1
Economist/yougov D 0.7
politico/morning consult D 2.9
Daily Kos/Civqs D 2.9
NPR/PBS/Marist D 0.1
Gallup R 0.6

So in this latest from RCP, there are six polls which lean Democratic vs. 3 polls which lean Republican. I like how RCP averages the polls, Biden 54.7% is very good.


Looking these up, a couple surprised me, most I expected. Reuters/Ipsos leaning that much democratic along with The Hill/Harris leaning Republican were complete surprises. I expected the oppsite. Daily Kos, politico heavily leaning Democratic, I expected that along with Rasmussen heavily Republican tilt.

Why is Biden so popular, I'd take a SWAG that he's still in the honeymoon phase of his presidency, benefiting from not being Trump. At least among independent who like Biden as a person. They never liked Trump as a person. Besides, Biden acts like an adult and behaves presidential, something we haven't had for four years. Will this continue? I doubt it, Biden and the democratic controlled congress will hit some speed bumps, but so far, so good.

I'll add this, it sure is nice not to turn on the TV hearing the previous president calling others a bunch of names and throwing some temper tantrums to go along with his name calling. No 3rd grad schoolyard bullying from Biden. Right now, that's enough to make me happy with Biden being president and giving him my approval. But sooner or later, folks will begin looking at what Biden and the democratic congress are doing or not doing, whether they're going too far or not far enough. Not being Trump, acting presidential is enough right now. But no one knows what the future will hold.

Remember, these are people who consider Breitbart and OAN to be down the middle.
 
I suspect statements like this, are why Biden has positive approval.
Agree. In “normal” political times, a Biden presidency wouldn’t be viewed nearly as positively by most Americans.

Following four years of Trump insanity and lies, a baked potato would be cheered if elected president.

He's not the Orange Guy. That's your answer to why he is popular. Anyone not the Orange Guy would have good numbers after four years of that.

Nice try, however no objective human being believes for even a second that RealClearPolitics is right leaning. That claim is a silly as the claim that the late Senator John McCain was conservative because he was a republican.

Oh great! then I will not be paying a cent in taxes. Dopey Joe Biden just yesterday said the under his plan, nobody earning less then $400,000.00 annually will pay a cent in taxes. Oh wait.....that's just Dopey Joe's state of cognitive decline...huh?
