The survey found that just one in four voters (24%) think the country is moving in the right direction – a key question in the run-up to a national election – and more than twice as many voters said that Biden’s policies had personally hurt them than those who said they had helped.
Of the two-thirds of the country that feels the nation is headed in the wrong direction, the poll found that 63% said they would vote for Trump.
In the Bloomberg survey, a large share of the respondents voiced concerns with Biden’s age and a significant percentage said Trump was dangerous, and suggested the number of “double haters”, as pollsters call voters who approve of neither candidate, is significant.
I feel like headlines like this miss the point
Biden isn’t president because people liked him he’s president because the alternative was four more years of Cheetolini, not like that math has changed this time around either.
A significant portion of the people saying they disapprove of him are still going to vote for him because they have brains and would much less rather Trump get back into office.
Am I the only one who hates double negatives like this? Wouldn’t the title be much easier to understand if it was “Joe Bidens approval rating reaches new low”
I don’t know this the case for whichever poll this is based on, but disapproval and approval aren’t necessarily complementary.
Most folks are going to say “the country is moving in the wrong direction.” That’s just a natural outcome of having a centrist (center-right by EU standards) as President in a highly polarized political climate.
Progressives want more social services. Conservatives want to own the libs.
While I would vote for someone more progressive if I had the choice, honestly a centrist may be good to just cool things down. Though Biden hasn’t been great at that either.
I wasn’t all that optimistic about a Biden presidency but he has actually accomplished a lot, in spite of a hostile Republican house, that the so-called media ignores. People in foreign countries understand this better than the average American who is quit ignorant about US politics. In fact, I hear more Putin/Republican talking points at the local sweat shop.
I think the biggest issue is simply that the struggling post-covid economy is blamed on Biden. Therefore people feel personally hurt by his policies.
Compare that to Trump who may have hurt a lot of people. But a majority felt unaffected personally. (I’m not an activist. I’m not trans. I’m not getting an abortion. I don’t know the people coming across the border. I wasn’t at the Capitol. Etc.)
If only there was something Biden could do to stop his ratings plummeting 🤔
He already tried sending murder machines to Israel and he’s out of ideas /s
Darn it! Why doesn’t he just make peace in the middle east already? How hard can it be??
Also, why didn’t I get a pony?
Hey! Look at that! Another poll! Just as accurate as all the ones before it I’d imagine!
The Siena College-conducted poll, commissioned by the New York Times, showed that Biden currently lags behind likely Republican candidate Donald Trump 43% to 48% in registered voters nationally.
Popular vote matters for Dems. Because of how our system is set up, it’s not what determines the election, but if a Republican wins the popular, they’ve already won the electoral college.
We’re stuck with Biden, but his campaign still has time to pull his head of his ass and beat trump.
We just have to hope they listen to voters over donors or at least start doing a better job lying
Genocide will be forgotten by election.
Libs on maximum cope
I mean I would say the same thing but that’s because of the Republicans doing their noe-nazi thing.
I can’t remember an election where I voted for someone I approved of.
In general, I was okay with Obama, but I still want further left. Like Bernie Sanders.
Democrats can’t figure it out. They vote mostly on policies and when their team does something so dispicible they cannot in good conscious vote for them, they don’t. The other side however is not voting on morals, but the exact opposite. They are trying to get their team to win just to spite the others and maybe a single issue they care about.
There are many Democrats (and yes I’m ignoring all 3rd party and “independent” because that’s a lie in the USA) who at this point dislike many of the things that the government has done under the Biden term and are on the spite train. Remember it’s only a few hundred people in some places that matter in the election. The larger swings were a few thousand. You could fit every single difference vote that determines the outcome of the election in a sports stadium. And half the seats would still be empty. You don’t need many people to stay F Biden and not vote or vote against for Cheeto to win.
Democrats love to be hopeful. But hope and feels doesn’t win an election after 2008 when it got blacks onboard in 2008. That’s sort of a one time dealio as noticed in 2012 when the vote just disappeared. A woman candidate, Asian, or whatever other minority will also get some hopefy feely votes out. A decrepit old white man that eats ice cream does not.
