Biden's Bounce up in the Polls!

[Luckyone]

Biden gets a bounce after the State of the Union, NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll shows​

• Overall approval rating jumped to 47%, up 8 points from the NPR poll last month. Presidents don't generally see much, if any bounce, out of a State of the Union address. Since 1978, there had only been six times when a president saw an approval rating improve 4 points or more following State of the Union addresses, according to the pollsters. Three of those bounces were for former President Bill Clinton.

• Ukraine handling is up 18 points to 52%.
• Coronavirus pandemic handling is now 55%, up 8 points.
• Economic handling up 8 points to 45%.

As I stated in a previous OP of mine, this invasion of Putin in Ukraine is going to give Biden a strong boost for the midterm elections. Biden is handling the problem in the best way possible and it will erase all the negatives that had haunted him last year (Afghanistan and Omicron).

I disagree with everything you wrote. Let's get together online the day after the election and discuss who was correct. Here is a different view of Biden's world;

His decades in the Senate, and years on the Foreign Relations Committee, have made Biden a legitimate statesman. While any president is bound to have a number of missteps during their terms, we're very lucky to have Biden in the Oval Office at this time.

Your link is actually proving my point as it shows that Biden's approval rating is rising in all the polls your link showed. On the Quinnipiac poll, Biden was at 33% previously and here he is at 41%. that is exactly the same kind of rise (8%) that my link showed.

On top of that, the reality is that Putin is doing Biden a favor. Putin's invasion has brought an "outside" villain that people can blame all the problems on (away from Biden). and since Biden is doing "all that is possible" to combat Putin, he is going to look like a good leader and when you compare what happened under the Republican rule between 2017-2021 and the bad leadership that occurred then, people will want that to continue.

Yes, we certainly can wait until the election is over and "discuss who was correct".

Curious what number might be the absolute best Biden could do, or any democrat for that matter. There is a large segment of republicans/conservatives who would not provide "approval" if a democratic president brought unemployment to 3 percent; inflation to zero and cured cancer.

And yes, I appreciate there is a segment of democrats that act the same re: a republican president. But I am 100% certain it is not as large.

Trump is the only republican president in my lifetime that I loathed- and he objectively earned that loathing.

But large swaths of Republicans have loathed every democratic president since Carter, and will loathe the next one as well.

Especially considering the alternatives. Republicans in office running things and Trump supporting Putin in this invasion.

You are totally right but one fact remains. There are a lot more registered Democrats than Republicans.:

"On December 17, 2020, Gallup polling found that 31% of Americans identified as Democrats, 25% identified as Republican, and 41% as Independent."

And it is we independents that are going to decide all future elections. Do not forget that.

Wonderful.

And as an independent, would you prefer a Republican in office under these circumstances??????

Republican. This entire situation reminds me of Carter and Reagan.

I think it's given independents have decided most all national elections for a long time.
Though I wonder what it takes to qualify as an independent.
I have never registered with either political party and have never voted a straight party ticket, particularly in local and state wide elections.
Am I an independent?

The base of the gop has been conditioned since reagan to distrust the government and hate for the democrats all based on lies told to them by their candidates and elected leadership election after election while the poor red states controlled by republicans remain some of the poorest in the country election after election along with the constant dog whistles about race. They still have their guns, their god and their freedoms and america isn't socialist but the closer the elections become the more you will hear all of those things from the republican candidates.

Watch and see.

Yes, if President Biden can get Russia to stop raping Ukraine, his ratings should rightfully zoom to 90%.

And if he can get a bill on his desk that pays 100% for caregivers that take care of sick senior citizens. then he deserves a 100% rating. (I am 84.)

*****
Just saw the President announce a ban on Russian oil.

Great!

Hopefully, the wonders of capitalism will soon help drive the expected rises in gasoline down to more acceptable levels.

So like Trump, you support this invasion by Putin?

If you are voting on policy issues I would say yes. In my opinion many people who call themselves independents still vote whatever party they left for the most part.

"On December 17, 2020, Gallup polling found that 31% of Americans identified as Democrats, 25% identified as Republican, and 41% as Independent."

Those numbers right or left don't really mean all that much to me.
Assume 25% are republican and 75% of them vote all the time.
Then 31% democrat but only 60% vote all the time. Well there goes any advantage.

Watch and see.

You have to pander to your constituency. Would you expect anything less from either party? Of course not.

 

[Jkca1]

We need Ronnie in office. Not Trump, not Biden.

 

[Luckyone]

We need Ronnie in office. Not Trump, not Biden.

Ronnie is dead. It is either Trump or Biden. As an "independent" that you say you are, who do you prefer?

 

[MamboDervish]

Ronnie Coleman ??

Republican. This entire situation reminds me of Carter and Reagan.

Trump/Nixon as disgraced former prezes, Biden/Carter as mediocre leaders struggling under economic woes they'd have had little chance of avoiding and... who is your Reagan? Who's got the charisma to accelerate dangerous militarism and really screw the country over in favour of the rich while getting praised as a great 'leader'? (To his credit Reagan did at least act on ozone depletion, but I can't see any president from either party doing much on climate change!)

Assume 25% are republican and 75% of them vote all the time.
Then 31% democrat but only 60% vote all the time. Well there goes any advantage.

That changed dramatically in 2020 and likely will continue from now on, given what happened in 2016 and the disunity between the parties.

New data from the Current Population Survey's voting supplement examine voting methods in 2020 and changes from 2016 at the national and state levels. In the last presidential election, 70% of the voting-eligible population registered to vote and 61% voted. Almost 9 in 10 registered voters cast a ballot.

Polls are only valid if they support the GOP narrative, come on, you know this!
