Confirmed: Rumors of a Joe Biden ‘Comeback’ Were Greatly Exaggerated
By Sister Toldjah | Mar 07, 2022 6:45 PM ET
We reported Friday on how CNN’s Chris “reporters don’t pick sides” Cillizza was salivating over a post-State of the Union address poll from NPR/PBS/Marist that showed President Biden with an eight point jump (to 47%) in comparison to a prior poll taken by the same outfit a few weeks prior.
“The possibility of a Joe Biden comeback now exists,” Cillizza enthusiastically tweeted, setting tongues wagging on the left about the prospect of it happening considering Biden’s numbers also rose in the same poll on his handling of the Ukraine/Russia conflict and his management of the coronavirus pandemic.
As Bonchie wrote in his piece at the time, the likelihood of this poll being a sign of things to come was slim to none considering a couple of other polls (Rasumussen and Reuters) released at the same time showed his numbers continued to be dismal.
Since that time, an additional two polls have been taken which further confirm that the one Cillizza gleefully referenced was indeed an outlier. The first one, from IBD/TIPP, showed Biden gaining one point overall in approval rating (39%) and with virtually no movement among the crucial independent voting bloc:
However, the March survey of 1,318 adults found that the president’s address, which covered inflation and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, did not sway independents. Only 27 percent of independents approve of Biden’s performance — the same result as in February.
The figure for independents who disapprove was 53 percent in March, down from 55 percent in February.
