Biden during the election campaign promised to heal the huge political divide between the various political parties and many people believe it. Some members - myself included warned on site about wrong decisions by the Biden Administration and the Biden supporters bragged that after three months his job approval rating was 63% and he obviously was on the right track with the support of most people in the USA.
Even last week some poles give Biden an approval rating of 56% - but there is a problem namely that Opinion polls in the USA are notoriously unreliable, since many institutions decide on polling participants wanting to pre-determined outcomes. There are genuine opinion polls more accurate than most and we have the following info;-
Biden's Job Approval ratings
Three month ago Approve 63% - Disapprove 34%
-A week ago Approve 47% Disapprove 49%
This week Approve 46% - Disapprove 51%
The promise to heal the political divide was never really a political intention - Biden really divide is now bigger than it was before the election. The data conifrims that divide:-
Direction of the country Right track 25% - Wrong track 59%
IN the case of the following components the latest poll figures indicate whether were as following:-
Economy Approve 47% Disapprove 49%
Law and Order Approve 37% Disapprove 51%
Border Policy Approve 31% Disapprove 59%
The rest of the participants refuse to give definitive answers.
As inflation bites and the mishandling of the new Covid wave is evident and the Afghani problems get worse the ratings are going to get worse - not better.
California recall
In the last election of the Governor of California Newsom got 72% of the vote, A recall election is to be held on 14 September 2021. In the latest two polls on the issue the one poll in the past week forecasted that the Governor will be recalled being supported by a 4% difference, Another pool indicates the recall will not be supported by a difference of 4& Both a narrow in by Newsom or a narrow loss
A loss of support of 25% by the Democrats will have a serious effect on the political scene and the DP would be in deep trouble. .
