According to a poll, President Biden’s disapproval rating has reached its highest point since he became POTUS. The poll’s results could reflect a growing sentiment of dissatisfaction among the American public.
A Decline Within Specific Groups
President Biden’s disapproval rating surged to 56%, with only 41% of respondents expressing support. Perhaps more notably, the poll showed a decline in approval within specific groups, such as young adults, Latinos, and independents.
Former President Donald Trump
The poll also revealed some concerns about Donald Trump. Regardless, the former president maintained a commanding lead in the GOP primary, with 59% of national Republican primary voters favoring him despite multiple criminal indictments.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis
In contrast, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis trailed Trump significantly with only 16% of national Republican primary voters expressing support. Furthermore, the poll indicated a growing consensus among Republicans that Trump should remain the leader of their party, with 58% supporting this view – an increase from 49% earlier in the year.
Significant Age Concerns
Age emerged as a significant concern for voters, with 74% expressing major or moderate worries about President Biden’s mental and physical capacity due to his age of 80. Meanwhile, 44% held similar concerns about 77-year-old former President Trump.
A Hypothetical 2024 Match-Up
Surprisingly, one in five voters who expressed apprehensions about Biden’s age indicated that they would still vote for him over Trump. A hypothetical 2024 match-up in the poll portrayed Biden and Trump in a statistical tie at 46% among registered voters, a significant shift from earlier in the year when Biden held a 4% lead.
The Survey’s Details
The NBC News poll surveyed 1,000 registered voters with an overall margin of error of plus or minus 3.1%. Its findings illustrate the evolving dynamics of American politics and the challenges faced by both President Biden and former President Trump as they navigate their respective political futures.
The Internet’s Response
News of the poll’s results was shared across the internet and opinions were divided. “Is this not more about the people answering the poll than the results from it? One wonders how the questions were framed? Were the people asked about their current events knowledge?” one person said.
Alleged Mental Decline
Others discussed President Biden’s alleged mental decline. One individual wrote: “It is not Joe Biden’s age that has voters worried, but rather his mental decline. Joe Biden does not control our government. Who does?”
The Worst Administration
Another commenter said: “I believe the Biden administration is the worst administration in my lifetime. In the past, Jimmy Carter took that prize but, unfortunately for America, this guy has topped Carter’s poor performance.”
A Propaganda Push
Some people accused the poll of being right-wing propaganda. “Lies. Everyone I know is extremely happy with Biden. This propaganda push will not work this time,” one person said. “This poll polled more Republicans than Dems and independents,” another wrote.
Trump or Biden
Others used humor to highlight the absurdity of the situation. One person said: “Well, yeah. That’s what he gets for being indicted four times, quoting Hitler, saying secession is a good idea, understaffing the military based on his weird religious views, and threatening to shut down the government. Oh. Wait. Nevermind.”
A MAGA Opinion
Trump’s fans thought Biden’s disapproval rating wasn’t high enough and suggested that the numbers had been intentionally warped. “Just as they inflated the number of those who actually voted for the fossil, they’ve inflated his approval numbers too,” one individual said.
IQs Below Room Temperature
Some people responded with sarcasm. “Oh no. A poll of Republicans and conservative voters shows they don’t like Biden. What a shock. It also shows they have IQs below room temperature,” one person wrote. “Ah, yes. I’m sure this is entirely accurate,” another echoed.
A PR Disaster
Another individual wrote: “The fact that Trump, a fascist bigot and insurrectionist, has any remote chance of being reelected is a clear [reflection of] Biden’s campaign and PR staff – all of whom should be fired immediately.”
A Balanced View
Some commenters tried to give balanced assessments. One such person said: “I think it’s important to really pay attention to the sources that are the least biased and not just agree with what you want to hear. From what I’ve seen, a lot of special elections have taken place this year that have gone overwhelmingly in favor of the Democrats.”
Revenge and Hate
The commenter continued: “I’m not saying it’s a sure thing for Joe Biden but if it’s ultimately Trump vs. Biden next year, I’m voting for Biden. Only because Trump has not discussed any actual policies and has been running a campaign centered around revenge and hate.”
A Very Bad Situation
Some people expressed some very strong views about the current president. One person wrote: “Biden has been the absolute worst president in history. He is destroying this country along with our state-run media. Our country has never been in such a bad situation as it is today.”
The Accuracy of Polls
Others pointed out that polls aren’t necessarily accurate and, in some cases, can mean nothing whatsoever. “I mean, polls don’t actually mean that much, do they?” one person said. “I have no idea why anyone [cares] about polls post-2016,” another echoed.
