Polls are polls, however, I haven't seen a poll that indicates that his numbers have ever gone up and I can't remember any president whose poll numbers plummeted so drastically in his first year.
2021: The year Biden's approval ratings sank slowly underwaterPresident Biden joked earlier this month that he doesn’t follow his poll numbers "anymore."
In an appearance on the late-night talk shows, Biden quipped to "Tonight Show" host Jimmy Fallon that he kept an eye on his approval ratings earlier in his presidency, "but now that they’re in the 40s, I don't pay attention."
All kidding aside, it would be understandable if the president avoided closely watching his polls as his once solid numbers have slid five straight months.
Biden’s approval rating hovered in the low to mid 50s during his first six months in the White House. But the president’s numbers started sagging in August in the wake of Biden's much criticized handling of the turbulent U.S. exit from Afghanistan and following a surge in COVID-19 cases this summer among mainly unvaccinated people.
The plunge in the president's approval was also fueled by the surge since the summer in consumer prices and to a lesser degree the surge this year of migrants trying to cross into the U.S. along the southern border with Mexico.
By mid-November, Biden's approval had sunk below 40% in two well-known national polls from ABC News/Washington Post and Quinnipiac University.
There is a slight uptick in some of the most recent surveys. Biden stood at 47% approval and 51% disapproval in the latest FOX Business poll, 48%-52% in the most recent CNN survey and slightly back above water at 48%-46% in a Reuters/Ipsos poll. But his average heading into the end of his first year in the White House is nothing to brag about.
Just ahead of the Christmas and New Year’s holiday break, Biden stood at 44%-53% in an average of the latest polls compiled by Real Clear Politics and at 43%-51% in an average by FiveThirtyEight.
There’s continued cause for concern once you get past the top lines in the recent surveys. Biden's approval on most major issues is also underwater, and he’s seen deterioration with key voting blocs................
