In an earlier report the rapidly improving jobs picture was described. Inflation and Biden's role in same was explained along with his powerful leadership concerning Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine. That very day Biden's approval numbers shot up.
Of course, the media is not giving me credit. The media is giving credit to the President's SOTU address. Well, that may have had something to do with it.
The Hill explains. "President Biden is seeing a boost to his approval rating following his first State of the Union address this week, with a poll released Friday showing him at 47 percent.
"The latest
NPR-PBS NewsHour-Marist National Poll found that 47 percent of Americans surveyed approve of the job he is doing as president, which is a jump from the 39 percent approval rating he had in the same poll last month."
That's not all as
The Hill adds, "The poll also found Biden’s approval rating is on the upswing on issues like Ukraine and COVID-19. Fifty-five percent of Americans approve of how he is handling the coronavirus pandemic, up from 47 percent in February.
"Fifty-two percent approve of how he is handling the situation with Russia and Ukraine, up from 34 percent in February when tensions were simmering but Russia had not yet launched its invasion.
"An overwhelming majority of Americans surveyed — 83 percent — also supported the United States’ and other allies’ economic sanctions against Russia."
Considering that 40% of Americans known as Trump Republicans will disapprove of Biden no matter how effective he is, all that is pretty darn good.
"Biden's leadership on Ukraine has resonated over the last week with Americans. He has forged a consensus in the U.S. on his policy toward Ukraine. Americans are even willing to sacrifice higher energy prices in support of the Ukrainian people," Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist Institute for Public Opinion, said.
