Biden Begins Reelection Bid at Low Point in His Presidency
Gallup ^ | APRIL 27, 2023 | BY JEFFREY M. JONES

STORY HIGHLIGHTS 37% approve of job Biden is doing, lowest in his presidency Approval among independents slides, tying term low of 31% Economic confidence weakens in April

************************************************************

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- As Joe Biden begins his reelection campaign, his job approval rating among the U.S. public has slipped to 37%, the lowest Gallup has measured for him to date. Biden’s job approval has been in the low 40% range for most of the past 19 months, apart from the current reading and a 38% score last July.

Biden’s latest approval rating is from an April 3-25 Gallup poll, which was completed the day he announced he will seek reelection, and marks a three-point dip from March and a five-point drop from February.

This decline has pulled down Biden’s job approval average for his recently completed ninth quarter in office, which spanned Jan. 20 through April 19, to 39.7%, the lowest quarterly average in his presidency.

Only Ronald Reagan in early 1983 had a lower ninth-quarter average among elected post-World War II presidents. Reagan’s low ratings came during a period when the unemployment rate exceeded 10% after the 1981-1982 economic recession.

Jimmy Carter and Donald Trump had slightly better approval ratings than Biden and Reagan; both were just above 40%. Four presidents, including George H.W. Bush, Dwight Eisenhower, John Kennedy and George W. Bush, averaged better than 60% approval during their ninth quarters in office.

The latest poll finds 83% of Democrats, 31% of independents and 4% of Republicans approving of the way Biden is handling his job. The reading among independents ties as his lowest for that group and represents a nine-point decline since February. Biden’s chances of winning a second term will depend heavily on his ability to win independents’ votes.

In other news, the election system in the US remains virtually unchanged since the 2018, 2020, and 2022 elections. If anything, they’ve gotten worse since November 2022.

The people I know who switched to Biden all want to vote for any republican in 2024. They have learned the lesson.

Our utility bills are about to double or triple in some places. The rats are probably going to make sure that doesn’t kick until after the election. Same with using regulations to make it impossible to build ICE cars. If the MSM gave Biden the Trump treatment for just one day his numbers would be in the teens

They have Phoenix / ATL / Philly / Detroit / Milwaukee still.

Those corrupt cities, with millions of ‘votes’ to manufacture as needed, flip their states, those states flip the election.

Trump will lose, even if they have to fabricate 90 million votes for dementia Joe.

Same applies to no matter who is the republican nominee.
The swamp is powerful and will not give up their ill gotten gains easily. The republican has to get more votes than margin of fraud.

Nothing Joey does or doesn’t do means anything
It all comes down to beating Democrat/communist voter fraud.
Brat their fraud and Trump wins by 12 points. I think we can beat it. They had two years to fix the problems and we still won back the House and the Senate but the RNC gave the Senate away. With Kennedy as 3rd party the rodents are cooked
