We Approve…WTF?

All of Donny’s antics from crapping up DC to War to entitlements loss he still gets an approval rating that I find fascinating….

At the end of August, approval polling averages showed President Donald Trump (R) at 41% approval. Fifty-six percent of voters disapproved of his performance. The lowest average approval rating of his second term was 39%, last seen on Aug. 25, 2026. The highest average approval rating of his second term was 54%, last seen on Jan. 22, 2025.

At the end of August, average congressional approval was 16%, and disapproval was 62%. The lowest average approval rating the 119th Congress has received was 12%, last seen on May 26, 2026. The highest average approval rating it has received was 37%, last seen on July 1, 2025.

At this point in Trump’s first term, average presidential approval was two points higher at 43%, and average congressional approval was three points higher at 19%. At this point in the Biden administration, average presidential approval was one point higher at 42%, and average congressional approval was four points higher at 20%.

Ballotpedia’s polling index takes the average of polls conducted over the last 30 days to calculate presidential and congressional approval ratings. We average the results and show all polling results side-by-side because we believe that paints a clearer picture of public opinion than any individual poll can provide. The data is updated daily as new polling results are published.

A recent poll by the same people found that 61% of respondents say the country is heading in the wrong direction….and yet they gave him a 41% approval rating.  Is it just me or are these people fucked up?

First I disagree with the 19% approval for Congress…..for me I would give them less than 10%……why?  They have done nothing in this session but chase minor diversions….I expect more from an ‘opposition’ party.

Seriously there is still 41% that approve of Donny yet 54% disapprove of his presidential performance…..WTF?

Do the respondents realize that it is difficult to separate the man from his performance?

Have the people that took this poll watching the same country in decline as myself?

This poll illustrates why I do not put much confidence in their results….first they are merely a snapshot of the day they were taken….second I am not positive that the respondents actually knew what they were responding to….thirdly, this tells me that most people have no idea what is actually happening to the rest of the country they are only interested in their petty lives.

I would love to hear anyone’s thoughts on this poll.

More Crappy News For Biden

The numbers are in and Biden is looking pathetic.

The news is he still sliding down in the polls….

An NBC News poll found that President Joe Biden is beginning to struggle with a key demographic. The President’s approval rating is continuing to sag, and young Americans are definitely opposed to his foreign policy, especially support for Israel. 

The poll conducted by NBC from November 10-14 found that Biden’s approval rating has sunk to the lowest level of his presidency, 40%. The sagging approval indicates Americans have grown tired of the current administration. The survey found that if the 2024 election were held today, former President Donald Trump would beat Biden. 

Driving Biden’s poor performance is dissatisfaction with his foreign policy. Only 33% of voters approve of Biden’s foreign policy. While 34% of Americans approve of Biden’s handling of Israel’s onslaught in Gaza. 

Since taking office, Biden has been a staunch war hawk. He has led a proxy war against Russia in Ukraine, and he continued Trump’s aggressive policies against China. Additionally, Biden has overseen a massive military surge in the Asia-Pacific that has driven animosities with China and North Korea. 

The President is struggling significantly among young Americans. His approval rating for that group fell to 31% from 46% in September. The decline is likely driven by Biden’s full-throated support for Israel’s war in Gaza. According to the NBC poll, 70% of Americans aged 18-34 disapprove of Biden’s handling of the war.

Overall, only 34% of Americans approve of how Biden has handled the conflict, while 56% disapprove. Washington is shipping weapons to Tel Aviv nearly every day. So far, at least 13,000 Palestinians, including 5,500 children, have been killed by Israel. 

I could not find anything the American people really approved of in Biden.

I know this is just an early snapshot but it does not bode well for the president.

Not looking good…..and then there is Trump….do American really see him doing anything better or making their lives better?

Is it possible that neither one of them will win the 2024 election?

We are now less than one year away from Election Day 2024.  

On the Republican side, three debates have already been held featuring a diverse group of presidential hopefuls. The one person who has been absent has been the favorite in the polls, Donald Trump, declining to participate. Not surprisingly, the number of candidates has continued to dwindle, from eight in the first debate, to seven in the second debate, and to five in the third debate. The number set for the fourth debate on Dec. 6 currently stands at three, with Chris Christie’s campaign on life support hoping to make the stage.  

On the Democrat side, incumbent President Joe Biden is assumed to be running for a second term. Pollsters are focusing on a Biden-Trump rematch, with early polls giving Trump a slight edge in several key battleground states.  

In spite of such political drama, the data suggests that neither Trump nor Biden will be elected president on Nov. 8, 2024. Here’s why.  

Why neither Biden nor Trump will be the next president  

Not my problem for I am supporting neither of them…..my dog can do a better job….and I will look elsewhere….not sure where but I am serious about finding someone that is at least in the same ballpark as my principles…..that may take awhile.
