CNN Poll: Biden Disapproval Rating Nearing 60%​

Spoiler: Full Article

(article)
The latest CNN poll conducted by SSRS from Jan. 10 to Feb. 6 showed President Joe Biden's disapproval rating reaching a staggering 58% among U.S. adults, according to results released on Thursday.

Only 41% of respondents approved of his performance. The same poll had Biden's approval at 49% and disapproval at 51% in December.

Among independents, 36% approved of Biden's job performance. For Republicans, that number was at 9%. Democratic approval for the president dropped from 94% last summer to 83% in the latest survey.

Disapprovers of the president were also asked to name a single thing he has done that they approved of. A shocking 56% said they have nothing positive to say about his term.

"I'm hard-pressed to think of a single thing he has done that benefits the country," wrote one survey respondent.

The CNN-SSRS survey is the latest in a continuing trend of Biden's plummeting approval rating.

The last time Biden's average approval rating was above water, according to FiveThirtyEight, was on Aug. 29, 2021, in the middle of the controversial U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Since then, concerns over inflation, handling of COVID-19, and further foreign policy complications have resulted in Biden's average approval reaching the lowest of his presidency on Feb. 10.

FiveThirtyEight further showed Biden's average disapproval peaking near 54% on Jan. 25, which has since plateaued as his approval rating continues to drop.

The poll surveyed 1,527 U.S. adults over one month digitally or by telephone with a live interviewer. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.3%.

The OOFs just keep on coming for good ol' Brandon.

Republicans introduce the Halting the Use of Narcotics Through Effective Recovery Act of 2022, or the HUNTER Act of 2022, which stops federal money from being spent on buying crack pipes.

Not only is the name funny, it's also the shortest piece of legislation I've ever seen put into Congress.

I love how legislation has now become a barrage of shitposting but with a lot of fancy legal terminology

I know, right?! First it was the "Financial Accountability for Uniquely Compensated Individuals" Act, or The FAUCI Act, and now this.

So are you saying that Vlad starting the Boogaloo this weekend would be the Ultra Chaos Option of the day?

Do it, slavs.

Why would Putin want to invade during the winter?

Which makes no sense. The executive branch determines whether documents are classified or not, and the President is in charge of the executive branch. If the President wants to declassify a document, or grant an exception for its use, who, exactly, is he supposed to ask?

Pelosi, obviously.

At this point it is a matter of when rather than if Russia attacks Ukraine, they have begun to evacuate their embassy on Kiev and other indicators are pointing toward sooner rather than later. A large field hospital has been established at Homiel directly behind the lone of advance toward Kiev from Bellorussia and units have begun departed from their holding areas over the last 48 hours. Additionally every ship of the Black and Azov sea fleets that can sail has, while being reinforced by additional amphibious shipping from the Northern and Baltic fleets along with a sizeable surface action group currently in the Med. The Russians have never marshaled this much force on all fronta from all services before, they have little choice to go forward or be seen as a paper tiger.

This will not be a pretty conflict, it will generate large numbers of casualties on both sides and displace several million civilians caught between the two armies. Large numbers of Ukrainian civilians will likely take up arms against the Russians as the overrun the areas they occupy, adding an additional layer of complexity to this fight. Simply taking Kiev will not be enough to win, it would reuire defeating the Ukrainian military in detail and the question is can Russia do that fast enough before the level of casualties makes this war untenable at home? What Putin fears more than anything else is a color revolution that forces him out of power and he may be about to embark on a path that does just that.

In that case, way 'ta go and exhausting your troops before the attack, Volodya. From what I heard the Russians are basically living out in the winter cold with shit supply lines and they've been sitting there for a while now.

I would imagine for the first two to three weeks they should be ok. They have had months to build up a logistics reserve for their initial push, the big question is how will they handle logistics after this? That has always been a weakness of the Russians which will be exacerbated as their supply lines get longer while the Ukranian supply lines will get shorter as they fall back. They are probably counting on capturing Ukrainian supplies which are largely compatible with their own and using them, but if that doesn't materialize it is a quick way to get up shit creek without a paddle.

and Russian demographics are so bad that if they take a lot of casualties they cant be replaced. If it wasnt for the soviets they might have had 300 million people instead of 146 million like they do now.

Should be a requirement to touch the head of it to make sure you're not an unholy creature.

Also when skimming through wikipedia about it, I found this under "Symbolic Use":

Spoiler: Stupidity

The symbol of the Mace may be used by Speaker of the United States House of Representatives during press conferences and official communications.[citation needed]During the 2019 State of the Union Address, Nancy Pelosi wore a brooch styled after the Mace, presumably as a symbol of her authority as Speaker.[11] Speaker Pelosi wore the same brooch on December 18, 2019, for the session in which the House debated and approved two articles of impeachment of Donald Trump.[12][13] She also wore the brooch on February 4, 2020 during the 2020 State of the Union Address. [14] On January 15, 2021, Pelosi wore the brooch signalling to members of Congress that an investigation with likely disciplinary action lay ahead over the 2021 storming of the United States Capitol.[15]

"All hail the all-powerful brooch! Her wearing this means there is serious business!"

I'm surprised she didn't burst into flames. Both silver and holy objects are anathema to the undead. Although does it count if said religion (in this case Our Democracy) is founded by a vampire determined to suck the life from all things?

How many Americans would actually be angry if the Canadians decided to burn down the Whitehouse again.

I would be simply because they took away the chance for me to do it myself.

LMAO...so Biden tells these people to fix their sh*t and deal with the protestors, and Trudeau decides to blame the US a few days later.

Are you really expecting Canada to solve its problems instead of blaming the US for them?

Don't worry. When midterm campaigns will start to really heat up I am certain that GOP ads will remind average joe about "in the greatest global crisis Biden went to camp davis instead of leading the nation".
He is toxic so I fully expect a turbo-large amount of ads that will point to bidens failures and then try to associate democratic candidates with it.

Don't forget, according to Joe's own words he is a mainstream Democrat. Expect to hear that line so many times you get sick of it.

Why would Putin want to invade during the winter?

Ukraine is far more pleasant during winter than Russia. The weather there is perfect for a walk in the park for your average Russian, and the constant sounds of gunfire will make them feel right at home.

No, I'm not. I don't expect anything from Joey and Justin. I just find it funny they're throwing each other under the bus, or in this case, ahead of the truck.

Where is this logic coming form. We literally got two different reports that conducted each other

 

[The Ugly One]

The biggest weakness of Russia right now is they have no Black or Latinx people. We should share some of ours.

That is excellent and crippling to the democrat narrative, I can't believe it took this long to use it.

See the idea of BBB is pretty fine

"Hey you know we should rebuild out of this crisis to be more resiliant."

But they don't propose things to make us more resiliant.

Took them this long because it could only be viable once BBB was truly dead. It'd backfire if BBB were to come out after this kind of ad launched.

Sooo, what's the roadmap for the Dems? feels like at every turn they step on a rake, and lloks like they won't get Putin to do war with them.

The covid stuff seems to be going away, everybody is fed up with this shit, so, is there anything they can do to change the tides till midterms?

I don't think there is. I saw someone float the hope that "Democrats polls will recover after COVID restrictions are lifted and people return to normal life" but I doubt that. The knock on effects of COVID will last longer than the pandemic did.

 

[DoomsdayElite]

Democrats are getting their shit pushed in, backtracking on the pandemic theatrics won't save them. Their unrelenting, malicious smears against working class people also don't help.
