Biden, how low can he go?

OPINION:

A recent Civiqs poll found President Biden only registers at 36% on the favorability scale with voters in key battleground states.

If there’s one thing that can be said for this president, it’s consistency. That is to say: He consistently registers poorly with voters.

But more significantly, at least with election time on the horizon, it’s the independents who really dislike Biden’s performance. Only 24% say they approve of him; 66% disapprove.

The polls about this president are getting to be quite repetitive: They go low, then they go lower, then they go lower yet. How low can he go? ’Round and ‘round and ‘round he goes; where he stops, nobody knows.

Childish chants and nursery rhymes — toss in an ice cream cone and there’s the perfect set of descriptors for this White House’s administration.

Look here, by the data: Biden won Georgia by less than half a percentage point. Now, according to Civiqs, only 32% of Georgians approve of him. 

Other key states?

In Arizona, Nevada, Michigan and Pennsylvania, only 35% of voters give a thumbs-up to Biden’s leadership; between 57% and 58% in those same states say he’s doing a poor job as president.

Ouch. Not that this is too far off from what polls over the previous few months have indicated. 

In January, Pew Research wrote this: “Biden approval rating continues to slide among Democrats.”

In February, NPR wrote this: “Biden drops to 39% approval rating in NPR/PBS/Marist survey.”

In March, CNN wrote this: “Why independents have cooled on Biden.”

And now here we are, rounding the curve into April, and a Peoples’ Pundit poll finds this: Former President Donald Trump wins 44% favor among voters; Biden, 37%.

Democrats can hear that train a’comin’ — and it’s the express to civilian life. No more cushy taxpayer-funded benefits. No more Beltway bubble cocktail parties. No more insider trading deals that rain down the bucks by the millions.

If Democrats were smart, they’d cut their ties with Biden and head for the Tulsi Gabbard or Sen. Joe Manchin hills, to party colleagues who might actually stand a chance of winning the White House in 2024, or at least of stopping the bleed of independents from the Democrat camp.

But they aren’t as smart as they are hateful.

They hate Trump. They hate the Constitution. They hate the idea of rights coming from God, not government. They hate the concept of individualism, even as they lust for collectivism.

They hate more than they love this country. And so they would rather lose than cede their socialist-slash-Marxist quests.

“Bracing for Losses, Democrats Look to Biden for a Reset,” The New York Times just wrote.

Good luck with that.
